• Clarification: Console players can toggle cross-communication voice chat by holding the Start button. This is listed in the Controller Layout screen, but was not clearly communicated.

• Reverted the controller input changes for minigames introduced in Season 7. This feature will return in the future as an optional setting.

SEASON 7: PROJECT BONEYARD

Project Boneyard sees the introductions of our latest Trial environment, The Prison Farm, and the return of Sergeant Leland Coyle in a new Trial, “Locksock the Warden.” Reagents will bring “cruel and unusual” back to the living conditions of the prison population until riot makes way for revenge, while avoiding the latest member of our experimental population: The Biter.

Murkoff is also premiering “Bribe the Judges” and “Cancel the Broadcast,” two new MK-Challenges added to the roster of available therapies.

Reagents will also discover new machinery installed across various Trials in support of the new Blood Drive event. The Reagent community is strongly advised to donate their blood for .

New Trial Environment: PRISON FARM

The American prison complex; a meat grinder that takes in sociopaths and criminals and extrudes functioning members of society. But the strict routine, severe conditioning, and close quarters serve as a crucible for power dynamics built on violence, contraband, and flesh. Turn yourself in and suffer rehabilitation.

New Trial: LOCKSOCK THE WARDEN

You are freedom. The indefinable promise that keeps prisoners at the grindstone that turns authority to profit and back again. Don't let false authority stand in the way of real capital. Kill the Warden, and we will let you out.

New MK-Challenge: BRIBE THE JUDGES

You are the master, whose property is the purpose of the law. Salary reminds enforcement that their monopoly of violence only exists for your monopoly of capital. Collect the bribes, pay the judges, and we will let you out.

New MK-Challenge: CANCEL THE BROADCAST

You are the butcher, who reminds the sheep the ultimate path of all flesh, no matter the bounty of wealth or the wealth of spirit. Sabotage the broadcast, defile the faithful with blood, and we will let you out.

New Deluxe Catalog: PROJECT BONEYARD

The new Project Boneyard Deluxe Catalog_ _is now available.

• This Catalog is filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items for your own self expression.

• Unlock the Deluxe Catalog using Murkoff Coins, earned by completing the Onboarding Catalog, other Deluxe Catalogs, or they can be purchased in the Murkoff In-Game Store.

• Acquire _Stamps _by completing Trials and Tasks, then use the _Stamps _to obtain the Deluxe Catalog items.

• As a reminder, the Deluxe Catalogs are available permanently. Unlock items at your own pace.

Introducing Community Event: BLOOD DRIVE

Blood Drive season is upon us. Blood Extractors have been installed in multiple Trial Environments. Reagents are strongly encouraged to donate generously. Within Blood Drive Trials, a set minimum donation will be required before Reagents are permitted to leave. Be cooperative, give until it hurts.

Blood Drive is a community-wide event. Murkoff requires a substantial supply of blood for an upcoming project, and every contribution helps advance the collective goal. As the community reaches new milestones, additional rewards will be unlocked for all participating Reagents!

Please note that a minimum personal contribution is required to qualify for claiming event rewards.

Variator “BLOOD EXTRACTION” - Use Blood Extractors found in the Trial to donate blood. Each donation permanently reduces your maximum health for the rest of the Trial.

Using a Blood Extractor at Introductory/Standard difficulty provides +1 blood sample. Using a Blood Extractor at Intensive difficulty provides +2 blood samples. Using a Blood Extractor at Psychosurgery difficulty provides +3 blood samples.

New Limited-Time Catalog: BLOOD DRIVE

A brand new Limited-Time Catalog is available for the duration of the Blood Drive Community Event.

• Players can spend their acquired Event Tokens in the Catalog to unlock exclusive rewards.

• Once the Blood Drive Event concludes on August 25th at 9:59am ET, the Catalog will be removed and any unused Event Tokens will be forfeited. Be sure to spend your Tokens before the end of the event.

• NEW: The final page of the Event Catalog now features an infinitely repurchasable Murkoff Box. Spend Event Tokens to receive a bundle of rewards, including XP, Stamps, and a random cosmetic item.

New Ex-Pop: THE BITER

This update introduces Reagents to our newest member of the experimental population, The Biter. These psycho-sadists, former forced labor inmates incapacitated through acts of self-mutilation as protest, have been physically repaired and mentally destroyed by Murkoff’s doctors and scientists.

Arms removed to prevent further self-harm, Biters are universal sadists, still capable of grievous harm with their mechanically enforced jaws. Though Biters are kept chained by the neck for safety, Reagents should approach with caution, as their augmented legs gift them with unexpected velocity. Biters will be featured in Locksock the Warden, Bribe the Judges, and Cancel the Broadcast Trials for the time being before they are ushered into any other Trials.

New Reagent Rig & Knife Customization

Reagents** **can now customize the appearance of their favorite Rigs. Access the Mirror in your Personal Cell and navigate to the Rigs menu to personalize their look. New customization options can be unlocked through Catalogs and by completing Mastery Tasks.

**Imposters **can now customize the appearance of their Knife from their customization menu. New Knife skins can be earned through Catalogs and by completing Mastery Tasks.

New Loadout Presets

Save up to 3 different loadouts and switch between them instantly before starting a Trial. Prepare specialized builds and adapt to any challenge with ease.

New Mastery Tasks

Prove your dedication to Murkoff by completing the new Mastery Tasks. Conquer each challenge to unlock the prestigious variant customizations for the Knife and for every Rig.

New Hint System

A new Hint System has been added to assist both new and returning Reagents!

At any time during a Trial, press the “Display Objective” button to display a hint and a visual marker related to your current Trial objective. This feature can be disabled in the Settings Menu.

Escalation Therapy 2.0

The therapy continues to evolve. Take part in endless escalating Trials or challenge yourself with a new themed Weekly Escalation. Compete for a place on the new Escalation Leaderboards and see how you measure up against the facility’s finest Reagents. How much pain can you endure?

New Weekly Escalations

• Participate in new themed Escalation runs built around unique gameplay modifiers.

• Every player faces the exact same sequence of Trials and Variators, with only the loadout choices remaining random.

• Push as far as you can and compare your performance against other Reagents on the leaderboard.

• A new Escalation Weekly Theme begins every week on Tuesday at 10:00 AM ET, at which point the leaderboard is reset.

• The first thematic is HARDCORE: “Damage causes permanent health loss and persists between Trials. Syringes are unavailable, and there are no respawns in solo play.”

Refreshed Endless Therapy

• It's time for a fresh start. With the launch of Escalation Therapy 2.0, all previous Escalation Therapy progress has been reset, including previous peak records and active save files.

• Your previous best peak has not been lost and can still be viewed in your Personal Records through the radio in your cell.

• This reset ensures a fair competitive environment for the new leaderboards and removes legacy progress achieved through previous save file exploits.

• In Endless Escalation, reaching Trial 21 and beyond introduces an additional challenge: maximum health loss becomes persistent between Trials.

Introducing Leaderboards for Escalation

• Compete against other Reagents and earn your place among the facility's elite. Escalation Leaderboards rank players based on their peak Trial reached, with total run time used as a tiebreaker.

• Only your best run is recorded. Future runs will not replace your leaderboard position unless you surpass your previous peak.

• There is a leaderboard for both the Weekly Escalation and Endless Escalation.

• Leaderboard Eligibility:

• Players who start a new Escalation run are eligible for leaderboard placement.

• Players who join an ongoing run and were not present at the start of that run are not eligible for leaderboard placement.

• Players who begin a run but miss more than two Trials before rejoining lose their leaderboard eligibility. This applies to both ongoing runs and resumed save files.

New Savegames Restrictions

To preserve the integrity of Escalation Therapy, we have updated how save files are handled:

• Only the host now carries the Escalation save file. Clients can no longer continue a run independently.

• Progress is only saved upon successfully completing a Trial.

• If all players quit, disconnect, or fail during a Trial, the run is failed and the savegame is voided.

• Players still have a 5-minute grace period to rejoin an ongoing Escalation run after an unexpected disconnect.

• These changes are intended to prevent save file propagation across the player population, ensuring that Escalation remains a challenge that must be earned rather than shared.

Matchmaking changes

• Players using Group Finder with Join-in-Progress enabled will only be matched into Escalation runs between Trial #1 and Trial #5.

• When joining a group that is still in the lobby, the group leader may still resume a saved Escalation run regardless of its current progress.

• These changes help maintain the progression and competitive integrity of Escalation runs while preserving the ability for friends to continue their existing saves together.

Invasion 2.0

We're reimagining Invasion around its core fantasy: Reagents are prey, and the hunt is constant.

Imposters exist to disrupt progress, create uncertainty, and apply pressure where it hurts most throughout the Trial.

In this updated iteration, survival depends on control rather than confrontation. Reagents must rely on their tools to slow pursuit, create opportunities to escape, and use stealth to avoid detection whenever possible.

Imposters, in turn, are more resilient and better equipped to interfere. However, success still depends on patience, positioning, timing, and strategy.

There's a lot to cover, so let's dive in!

Introducing Imposter Loadout

An Imposter is more than a blade. Equip specialized Gadgets to track, disrupt, and hunt your prey.

Imposters now have access to a dedicated Loadout System, allowing them to customize their approach before entering a Trial. Gadgets can be purchased from Dorris using Vouchers and equipped through the new Imposter Loadout Menu.

Available Gadgets:

• **MIMIC **- Assume the appearance of a Reagent. Become quieter while moving and preparing a Stab. Hold the fake item to blend in and remain concealed from pings.

• **NEUROSHOCK **- Projectile that briefly disrupts a Reagent and disables their rig. Disruption duration scales based on the distance traveled before impact.

• STIM - Inject a powerful stimulant to temporarily increase speed, stamina, and gain projectile immunity.

• STEEL TRAP - Deploy a trap that briefly immobilizes any Reagent caught in it.

• MOTION SENSOR - Deployable device that detects nearby Reagent movement within range.

• EX-POP BAIT - Throw to lure an Ex-Pop to patrol the impact area.

New Struggle Minigame

Stabbing now initiates a STRUGGLE between the Imposter and the Reagent.

• Imposter: Mash to inflict as much damage as possible.

• Reagent: Mash to resist the attack and reduce incoming damage.

A Reagent's remaining health directly influences the outcome. The more injured a Reagent is, the harder it becomes to survive the encounter.

With the introduction of STRUGGLES, Reagents can now actively resist an Imposter's attack. As a result, bottles and bricks can no longer be used for an instant counter while held in inventory.

New Imposter Night Vision

Imposters now have access to their own Night Vision. Unlike the Reagents’ Night Vision, its effectiveness is limited allowing darkness to become a stronger stealth element for Reagents while still giving Imposters a way to track targets and navigate in low-light environments. This creates a more tense predator/prey dynamic during encounters.

Imposter Night Vision drains battery rapidly and does not recharge over time. To restore it, Imposters must retreat to an Insertion Gate. Use it carefully and only when necessary.

Imposters Changes

The Imposter experience has been extensively reworked to support the new hunt-focused gameplay.

• Slash damage reduced to 25 (previously 33).

• Cooldown between Slashes reduced to 1.5s (previously 3s). While the cooldown is active, Imposters are limited to walking and cannot run.

• Added BACKSTAB, a new attack that instantly kills a Reagent. BACKSTAB bypasses the STRUGGLE minigame entirely and cannot be countered. Unlock this new Imposter Chem through Barlow.

• Nearby Reagents now display a red overhead indicator showing their name and health. This indicator disappears when the Reagent moves too far away, enters darkness, or breaks line of sight behind an obstacle.

• Imposters no longer impersonate a random Reagent by default. To gain this ability, equip the new MIMIC Gadget in your Loadout. MIMIC also provides additional benefits.

• Stabs no longer kill outright and now place the Reagent into a downed state.

• The group widget is now permanently visible while in Camera View, displaying the status of other Imposters, including whether they are invading or in-camera/spectating.

• Reduced score penalties from Reagent projectiles and Rigs. Scoring values have been rebalanced to support the new gameplay systems and Gadgets.

• In a situation where 2 Imposters can Invade at once (3v3, 3v4, 4v4), they will now deploy together at the start of an Invasion rather than entering one after another.

• Each Imposter now has an independent respawn timer. One Imposter's death no longer affects the respawn time of another.

• The “Imitate” Imposter Chem has been removed and reworked into the MIMIC Gadget. All Vouchers and Permanent Upgrade Tokens previously spent on Imitate have been reimbursed.

• A new “Backstab” Imposter Chem has been added and unlocks the ability to perform a backstab.

• Using a Gadget automatically re-equips your Knife, allowing you to quickly resume the hunt.

• In-camera ping time reduced to 5s (was 10s).

• Imposters no longer have a timer when they are deployed at the final phase of a Trial (During the Reagent’s “Exit the Trial” objective). They also don’t have the retire when incapacitating or killing a Reagent during this phase.

• Imposters can now freely relocate using Insertion Gates during the Reagents' “Exit the Trial” objective. During this phase, there are no respawn timers. Using an Insertion Gate will immediately redeploy the Imposter through another gate near the shuttle doors.

• Imposters can now leave an Invasion at any time. Imposters receive a notification when all players in a group reach A+ grade. In group play, the Group Leader can trigge

Greetings Reagents,

Prime Time has begun in The Outlast Trials! Murkoff’s newest therapy pushes Reagents into a relentless psychological assault where propaganda, fanaticism, and chaos collide.

This update includes

• New Limited-Time Event: PRIME TIME

• New Limited-Time Catalog: PRIME TIME

• New MK-Challenge: WIN THE TRUTH

• New MK-Challenge: INCINERATE THE RELIC

• New Routine Therapies: CLASSIFIED & MIRROR

• Various bug fixes and improvements.

New Limited-Time Event: PRIME TIME

Prime Time Therapy prepares Reagents for a future dominated by contradictory cults of personality and clashing fundamentalist ideals. Participants can expect their psyche to face brutal and fundamental assault from both ends.

Variators:

• PRIME ROULETTE - Multiple Prime Assets present in the Trial at the same time. Once a Prime Asset retires, a different one will come in - sustaining relentless pressure and escalating unpredictability throughout the session!

• BREAK THE TELEVISION - Stop Murkoff’s propaganda and break all defective televisions for additional rewards.

• EXTRA PRIME ASSET TRAPS - Extra Prime Asset traps in the Trial.

New Limited-Time Catalog: PRIME TIME

• A brand new Catalog is available for the duration of the Prime Time Limited-Time Event.

• Players can spend their acquired Event Tokens in the Catalog to unlock exclusive rewards.

• Once the Prime Time Event concludes on June 16 at 10am ET, the Catalog will be removed and any unused Event Tokens will be forfeited. Be sure to spend your Prime Time Tokens before the end of the event.

New MK-Challenge: WIN THE TRUTH

You are the blind observer, who consumes screen-fed ignorance and swells with the genius of idiot artifice. Regurgitate the knowledge that brings suffering to the wise, win the game which only punishes the defeated, and we will let you out.

New MK-Challenge: INCINERATE THE RELIC

You are the heretic and you are the zealot. Relics are the proof of an impossible gospel, the belief that makes whole the deservedly slaughtered lamb. Pay your way into heaven, incinerate the relic, and we will let you out.

New Routine Therapies

These new routine therapies will come after the Prime Time Event ends.

• **CLASSIFIED **- Multiple secret variators have been added to your therapy. Adapt or die.

• Taking place June 16th to June 30th

• MIRROR - The trial perspective is altered to mislead the reagents.

• Taking place_ June 30th to July 14th_

Additions/Fixes/Balancing

• The previously removed “Rare” cosmetic tier has been reintroduced under a new designation: Enhanced.

• Variator “Classified”: Tutorials for randomly selected variators are no longer displayed at the start of a Trial.

• Escape the Lies: Fixed an issue where the “Mandatory Secondary Objective” variator did not function as intended during this Trial.

• Escape the Lies has been removed from Escalation since there is no Shuttle sequence to choose your loadout.

• Fixed an issue where bandages could be reused when cancelling its animation.

Invasion

• Ex-Pops no longer react to imposters, unless directly obstructed.

• Imposters are now invulnerable to other projectiles for a longer period of time after being hit by a projectile. Additional hits during this window trigger reduced reactions.

• Imposter scoring penalty caused by projectiles is not affected while in the invulnerability period anymore.

• Imposter deployment is no longer tied to the number of Reagents alive in the Trial. It’s still affected by the total amount of Reagents in the game (1-2 reagents = 1 imposter, 3-4 reagents = 2 imposters).

• Fixed an issue where a Reagent could still be executed if the Impostor was interrupted by another Reagent bashing through a door.

Season 6: PROJECT JUDAS

Project Judas sees the return of Otto & Arora Kress in a new Trial Environment, the Television Studio. The Kress Twins have meticulously groomed Bob Vanier, celebrity talking head and idol to the masses, to be their upcoming political candidate. Molded to their best interests, Vanier is about to announce his political run live on the air, unless Reagents are able to seat Murkoff’s own candidate instead.

New Trial: SILENCE THE IDOL

X-Ray and Barricade Rigs Rework

Noakes has been busy collecting feedback on its creation, and has greatly improved both the X-Ray and Barricade Rigs.

X-RAY RIG

Developer Comment: X-Ray previously felt too passive, offering limited control due to its fixed duration. With this rework, we want Reagents to play a more active role in gathering and sharing intelligence.

X-Ray is now a toggle ability, allowing players to use it on demand. The ping system has been expanded, enabling multiple targets to be marked through walls, making it a powerful tool for team coordination.

Additionally, X-Ray now introduces a more tangible gameplay impact by temporarily disabling nearby traps, reinforcing its role as both a reconnaissance and support tool.

---

New Description: Tactical enhancement that allows vision through solid surfaces, revealing points of interest. Can be toggled on or off on demand.

Changes:

• X-Ray is now a toggle ability (On/Off).

• Charge depletes while active and replenishes slowly while inactive.

• Cooldown/energy system functions similarly to Night Vision.

• New upgrade PING THROUGH: “Ping enemies and objects through walls while X-Ray is active. Multiple pings can be active at once.”

• New upgrade ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD: “Generates an electromagnetic field while X-Ray is active, preventing trap activation.”

• New upgrade FASTER RECHARGE: “Decreases X-Ray recovery time.”

• New upgrade INCREASED CAPACITY: “Increase X-Ray total capacity.”

• Upgrades RESOURCES INTEL and CLASSIFIED INTEL have been merged and the upgrade is now called **RECON: “**X-Ray highlights nearby objectives, consumables, and high-priority items.”

• Upgrade SHARED INTEL has been removed.

BARRICADE RIG

Developer Comment: Barricade was previously too situational and difficult to use effectively due to its limitations. This rework introduces a charge-based system, allowing Reagents to carry multiple Barricades (2 by default, 3 when upgraded) and deploy them strategically to control space.

Barricades are now instantly refunded when removed by the player or a teammate, and their durability has been increased. They also damage enemies when broken, making them more impactful even when destroyed.

We’ve expanded deployment opportunities across Trials (including additional placements, rolling gates, windows, etc.), and added visual markers to guide players toward valid placement spots. This allows Reagents to quickly assess an area and make tactical decisions.

Finally, the cooldown now begins only after all Barricades are deployed, preserving the value of the Rig Rechargers while encouraging more active use of the ability.

---

New Description: Place barricades to block openings and delay pursuers. Carry 2 barricades. Removal instantly refunds them.

Liliya Bogomolova silently stalks her "Cottage orné" turned cult compound in the newest Trial Environment, The Resort. Behind the closed doors of this lavish retreat, she prepares a VIP auction held only for her biggest spenders, but what is the price of a life? Find out how much in "Despoil the Auction".

New Prime Asset: LILIYA BOGOMOLOVA

The Murkoff Corporation is pleased to introduce Sister Liliya Bogomolova. Still waters hide a deadly rage. Liliya is woman of God, an ambush predator on a divine mission to cut away your sins. Absolution comes at a cost of treasure and flesh.

Liliya's Prime Asset traits:

• Liliya hides in plain sight among her mannequins.

• She can surprise attack Reagents with her long reach attack style.

• Her brutal attacks immobilize the Reagent, who must fight for its life when it happens.

• As a predator, she secretly relocates in the Trial and wait for its next prey to ambush.

New Trial: DESPOIL THE AUCTION

You are the negotiator. Humans are just one more product, amusement for those with money to burn. A fresh plaything is up for auction, it's up to you to ruin the lot.

New MK-Challenge: FABRICATE THE SCANDAL

You are the half-truth, the reality more honest than fact when the evidence fails the agenda. Crimes cannot be simply exposed, they must be shaped to entertain the swinish masses. Prove the crime and delight the swine.

New MK-Challenge: SEIZE THE NARCOTICS

You are the controlled substance. The law enslaves minds by caging bodies. You destroy bodies and liberate minds, making users more desperate for control. Find the narcotics and set yourself free.

New Deluxe Catalog: PROJECT MESSIAH

• Event Catalog “Prime Time (2025)” is now available to purchase in the Catalogs Collection.

Invasion Experimental Therapy Update

Game mode improvements:

Invasion menu revamped with focus on QUICK PLAY and INVASION RANKS display. Quick Play is an alternance of playing as Reagent and Imposter as much as possible.

Imposter objective refined:

• Imposters is now to “Hurt the Reagents”, and not necessarily eliminating them. Disruption is the core of the role.

• As an Imposter, your current grade is now always visible in the HUD, updating dynamically as you perform actions during an invasion.

• Imposters can now earn a high score even if Reagents complete the Trial.

• Their performance is based on how effectively they disrupt and pressure Reagents, not on total elimination.

High Tier Trials (50+ Invasion matches): Reagents must now complete a random secondary objective before they can exit the Trial.

Anti-Stalling Measures: New rules prevent prolonged stalling in confined areas. Reagents who fail to progress within the allotted time will be terminated by electrocution.

Door Interaction Improvements: Doors have been reworked for more consistent reactions when slammed on pursuers.

Shuttle doors now automatically open when only one Reagent remains alive in the Trial.

Fixed an issue where Reagents did not receive the intended speed and stamina boost after successfully countering an Imposter.

Fixed an issue where Stamina regeneration would start during a kill animation instead of at the end.

Imposter balancing:

Knife attack miss stamina cost reduced to 10 (was 20).

Stab Hit stamina cost decreased to 25 (was 50).

Stab Kill stamina cost decreased to 25 (was 50).

Execution stamina cost decreased to 25 (was 50).

Stamina consumption when running has been reduced (can run for longer duration).

Base walk speed increased (to help stalking Reagents).

Walk speed while holding charged knife increased.

Imposters now have 2 lives (was 3). They have their initial life + one respawn (after killed).

Reworked ExPops aggros against Imposters (Imposters must be more careful now).

• Dev comment: Overall, Imposter actions now consume less stamina, and their base speed has been adjusted to more closely match Reagents, ensuring they can effectively stalk their targets. However, Imposters are still expected to rely on stealth and treat their life as valuable. Staying alert to Ex-Pops in the Trial remains essential.

**Reagents balancing:

**

Brick stamina damage reduced to 25 (was 50).

Stun stamina damage reduced to 25 (was 50).

Blind mine stamina damage reduced to 25 (was 100).

Blind mine reaction changed to Heavy long (was Severe).

Heal (with poison upgrade) stamina damage reduced to 25 (was 50).

Heal (with poison upgrade) reaction changed to Light (was Medium)

The changes have no impact on Ex-Pops.

• Dev comment: Overall, Reagent attacks now drain less stamina from Imposters. We observed that the combined penalties (reaction slowdown, damage, and heavy stamina loss) made playing Imposter overly punishing against experienced Reagents. Additionally, the Heal Rig was never intended to be used offensively; its functionality has been refocused to serve as a support tool, rather than an aggressive option against Imposters.

Invasion Seasonal Rankings

• A new ranking system has been introduced, offering unique rewards for participating in Invasion.

• Your Invasion Rank increases as you complete matches, whether you play as a Reagent or an Imposter.

• The grade you earn at the end of each Trial determines the amount of Rank Points awarded.

Upcoming Event: Flashback Therapy

Prepare to relive - or experience for the first time - the events of the past. Arriving early 2026.

• Jaeger Onboarding

• Under Surveillance

• Deep Burn

• Toxic Shock

All the Catalogs of those past events are available to purchase in the Catalogs Collection.

Additions/Fixes/Balancing

We will see you all in the Sleep Room very soon, Reagents!

• The RB Team

Greetings Reagents,

A hotfix patch was deployed today, here are the fixes included:

• Invasion Matchmaking Adjustments

• Implemented a new priority system to increase the overall chance of being selected as an Invader.

• Invader matchmaking priority now increases by playing Reagent matches.

• Invader matchmaking priority now also increases based on time spent waiting in the matchmaking queue.

• Anti-Stalling Measures

• Added a 3-minute maximum timer at the start of each Trial before Invaders are deployed.

• Added a 30-second delay after death, requiring players to either enter Spectator Mode, use a Respawn Pill, or trigger Self-Revive.

• Imposter Changes

• Restored the Imposter retreat timer after downing a Reagent.

• Increased retreat timer to 25s (30s with upgrade).

Bug fixes & other changes

• Story Trials have been removed from the Invasion program but remain available through Global Invasions.

• Fixed an issue where the sound of preparing a Stab was not audible to other players.

• Fixed a bug that caused secondary objective tasks to complete automatically after an Invasion match.

• Fixed an issue where Imposter chase music/audio cues could trigger while the Imposter was holding a fake item or Reagents were hidden, breaking stealth.

• Fixed a bug where Reagents could appear partially in the ground after a quick slash attack.

Dev Comment: With this hotfix, we’re addressing some of the biggest pain points in Invasion mode. More updates are on the way, but for now, our focus is on improving how players are placed in the Imposter role through matchmaking. We’ll closely monitor these changes and continue refining the experience. We’ve also introduced new anti-stalling measures to prevent Reagents from dragging out matches and leaving Imposters stuck in spectator cameras. This is just the first step - more anti-griefing systems will follow in future updates.

Additionally, we’ve removed the longer Story Trials from the Invasion program to maintain the fast-paced, “quick play” spirit of the mode. They remain fully accessible through Global Invasions. Finally, we’ve adjusted the Imposter’s presence during Trials by restoring the forced retreat after downing a Reagent. The retreat timer has been increased, giving Imposters a choice: overextend and risk to die, or retreat safely.

Twitch Drops Until November 18th 9:59am ET

Reminder that the Twitch Drops for The Outlast Trials will end on **November 18th at 9:59 ET. **Make sure to link The Outlast Trials to Twitch through the “Twitch Account Linking” option in the Main Menu when launching the game. Once you have linked your game to Twitch and have watched enough hours to claim your rewards, simply relaunch your game and check your Cell and Reagent customization inventory and the items will be there.

• Team RB

Greetings Reagents,

We have worked on various fixes, here is what is included in this most recent hotfix patch:

• Fixed an issue where players would occasionally stay immobile after a stab counter.

• Fixed the friend Invasion system so it properly joins the target player every time.

• Group Finder will now match players together that have the same "Global Invasion" Privacy Setting value.

• Fixed the player Imposters always having the Blind Rig visible (now correctly shows the mimics rig).

• Fixed an issue where kicking an Imposter performing a fatality on teammate with low health would not result in the imposter getting knocked down and killed.

• Fixed an issue where Invasion tasks could be part of the Daily Tasks.

• Fixed various issues related to Imposter player names appearing.

• Fixed an issue with group invites being sent through Steam to non-friends.

• Removed “Triggered sound disturbance” from Imposter scoring.

• Stun changes:

• Increased radius of effect to player imposters to 2m (was 1.5m) (Range of effect on ExPops is unchanged)

• Reworked stun reaction animation on imposters. It is now 2s longer for a total of 5.5s (was 3.5s.)

• Stab changes:

• Imposter now have a longer reaction animation when countered (bottle/brick), giving a bigger window of opportunity for reagent to escape after countering the stab. They can’t instantly chain with a finisher Slash immediately after being countered anymore.

• Fixed an issue where Stab was causing more damage than intended when countered (62.5 instead of 50).

• Slightly decreased range of Stab to 2m (was 2.5m) to match Slash range.

• As victim of a Stab, the interface now correctly displays your health instead of the execution icon.

• Reagents can now counter Stab (with bottle/brick) multiple times, unless they have 25hp or less.

• If stabbed with 100hp, the bottle/brick counter will put the reagent to 50hp.

• If stabbed with 50hp to 26hp, the bottle/brick counter will put reagent to 1hp.

• If stabbed with 25hp or less, the bottle/brick counter is not possible.

• Team RB

Greetings Reagents,

Our team has been working to release a patch with the following hotfixes:

• Consecutive projectile impacts on Imposters now have reduced effectiveness when occurring in quick succession.

• Fixed an issue with players on PC having an invalid path set up as a caching folder. This prevented players from playing the game.

• Fixed an issue with continuing as Reagents after a Global or Friend Invasion. It should now properly launch an Invasion Trial.

• Remember that you can adjust your Privacy Settings for your Trials to enable Invasion by Friends or Anyone in ALL Trials. Please adjust this setting according to your personal preference if you are above Reagent level 30. This setting is DISABLED unless a player has ENABLED it.

• Fixed a rare crash on GTX 660 graphic cards.

• Fixed an issue where Imposters would sometimes spawn from insertion gates that were disabled.

Known Issues

• Our team is investigating potential issues with players not being able to Invade friends from their Social Menu in The Outlast Trials. Please let us know know if you encounter any issues with this.

• Working on a fix for some players not being able to Invade Friends from the Social Menu.

• We're aware that Imposters can charge attack and follow up with a quick slash to cause an "instant kill" on a Reagent - we are looking to tweak moves like this.

Once again, thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to report issues and share feedback, your input has been pivotal in us improving Invasion and addressing issues quickly!

Catch you in the Sleep Room soon, Reagents.

• Team RB

Greetings Reagents,

Our team has deployed another hotfix patch to address some issues that have been reported. This hotfix patch includes the following fixes:

• Fixed an issue where Imposters would receive an "F" and no rewards if Reagents would leave the match.

• Fixed an issue with Rebirth not granting any XP rewards.

• Fixed an issue where fuses could become inaccessible.

• Fixed some camera issues (jittering) in spectator mode.

• Tweaked global invasion so players can get invaded more often in regular Trials (Genesis, Limited-Time Events, and Routine Therapies).

This is our first micro balance pass to adjust the Invasion gameplay:

• Reagents can now interrupt the slash kills (fatal slash that triggers a kill animation).

• Early stab kill and execution interruptions will now have the victim go down instead of killed.

• Stun changes:

• Decreased stun effect time on player imposters.

• Base cooldown increased to 200s (was 180s).

• Slightly decreased effect range against player imposters.

• Cooldown reduction of upgrade "Restore" is now 50% (was 75%).

• Reduced the effect of upgrade "Decreased Cooldown" to 15% (was 20%).

Dev comment: When combined with certain items and Amps, the Stun Rig’s effect becomes overly punishing to Imposters and is used too frequently as an offensive tool, beyond its intended purpose. It’s meant to provide occasional offensive opportunities, not a constant advantage. With these changes, Reagents can still use it effectively but will need to be more deliberate about when and how they deploy it.

• Imposter changes:

• Imposter aren't forced to retreat after downing a Reagent anymore. Retreat timer is only when killing/executing a Reagent.

• It is now possible to perform an execution when preparing a stab (holding knife). Will prioritize nearby alive reagents if applicable.

• Decreased slash miss stamina cost to 20 (was 25).

• Retreat time increased to 20s base (25s upgraded).

Dev comment: We’ve adjusted the risk-reward balance by removing the automatic retreat after downing a Reagent. This change fixes cases where interruptions during a Stab Kill would trigger the retreat.

Invasion Game Mode

Murkoff is proud to unveil a permanent new Experimental Therapy in The Outlast Trials: INVASION.

Invasion invites Reagents to take the role of Imposters, donning a mask to imitate a fellow Reagent, and wielding a knife to increase and then end their suffering. Show us your commitment to the therapy; show us your loyalty to the Murkoff Corporation. Whichever end of the knife you're on, we're all getting better together.

This Special Therapy pits groups of Reagents against their most ruthless threat yet: player-controlled Imposters. As with any Murkoff therapy, INVASION is in constant evolution, and your feedback will help shape its evolution.

Roles

REAGENT: Complete Trials with a risk of being invaded by player Imposters. All your items and Rigs work against the Imposters. Your goal is to survive and complete the Trial.

IMPOSTER: Invade Trials as an Imposter and kill the Reagents. You perfectly mimic the appearance of a Reagent present in the Trial. Your goal is to kill all the Reagents before they finish the Trial.

Access to Invasion

Invasion will be a new permanent Game Mode that is available through the Terminal in the Sleep Room. You will be able to choose the role of a Reagent or Imposter, or select the “RANDOM” option and receive bonus XP.

After each match, you and your team will be placed into a new Trial with your roles swapped. The Invasion Experimental Therapy supports solo play and groups of 2, 3, or 4 players.

Imposter Deployment

• Not all Imposters are deployed at once. Some hunt while others monitor via surveillance cameras.

• The number of deployed Imposters scales with the number of Reagents in the Trial:

• 1–2 Reagents = 1 Imposter deployed at once.

• 3–4 Reagents = 2 Imposters deployed at once.

• When an Imposter returns to the Insertion Gate or dies, the next one in line is deployed.

• The rotation continues until all Imposters run out of lives, the Trial ends or all Reagents are killed.

• While Imposters wait for their turn to invade, they can use the surveillance cameras to gather intel for their team.

• Imposters have 3 lives each and are susceptible to Reagents attacks, Prime Assets and certain Ex-Pops.

• Imposters deployment periods are timed, make sure you get back to an Insertion Gate or you will be shocked to death.

• All Imposters are unleashed once Reagents complete the final objective and must escape the Trial.

• Imposters hear the voice of their victim when they kill. (It can be turned off in the Pause menu)

Progression & Difficulty

• Invasion difficulty scales as you play: Early runs will feature fewer Trial options and no Ex-Pop Specialists. As you progress and play more of the Invasion Experimental Therapy, more Trials will be added to the pool and Ex-Pop Specialists will be deployed. The scaling is:

• 1-10 matches: Minimal pool of Trials (~3).

• 11-50 matches: Limited pool of Trials (~20).

• 50+ matches: All Trials (40+) and Specialist Ex-Pops are deployed during the Trials.

Matchmaking

• When playing as an Imposter, matchmaking prioritizes invading Reagents playing Trials from the Invasion program.

• If none are available, it expands to invading Trials from other programs (Genesis, Events, or Routine Therapies).

• You can also directly Invade friends in Trials via the friends list (requires Therapy Level 30 and privacy settings enabled).

• Imposters cannot invade players in Escalation Therapy or Trial Maker.

• Invasion matchmaking will use your current group when searching for a game. Be sure to assemble your team before queuing for a Trial by using the Group Finder.

Invasion Tasks

• A new category of Invasion specific Tasks have been added.

• New Invasion Tasks can also appear in the pool of random daily Tasks.

Global Invasion and Invasion with Friends: Privacy Settings

• Unlocked at Therapy Level 30: Any Trial you play (Genesis, Limited-Time Event, Routine Therapies) can now be invaded by Imposters.

• When reaching Level 30, you’ll be prompted to enable or disable this feature.

• You can always change this setting in the PRIVACY SETTINGS screen.

• Friends can directly invade your Trial while you play as a Reagent if your Trial Privacy settings are set to allow Invasion by friends.

• Your Invasion Trial Privacy and Group Privacy settings can be changed anytime in PRIVACY OPTIONS (via Terminal or Pause menu).

• Invasions are not guaranteed - they remain an unpredictable surprise.

Feedback

• This Experimental Therapy is in constant evolution, you can send your feedback via the following survey.

Imposter Chems

Imposters can be enhanced, just like Reagents. Visit Barlow the Pharmacist in the Sleep Room to acquire upgrades for your Imposter role.

List of Imposter Chems:

• Imitate: Carry a fake item to pretend you are a true Reagent.

• Slash: Reduce cooldown after a successful slash.

• Stab: Faster preparation to stab to kill. (charge time reduced)

• Stalk: Move faster while preparing a stab. (while charging)

• Brutalize: Complete stab faster with less struggle time.

• Retreat: Extend time to return to insertion gates.

• Lurk: Increase range of attack from within a hidespot.

• Pursuit: Increase running speed.

• Evasion: Press crouch while running to slide.

• Breach: Break through blocked doors with less hits, and it consumes no stamina.

• Vault: Climbs and jump-overs consume less stamina.

New MK-Challenge: BEGUILE THE CHILDREN

The television screen is the retina of the mind’s eye, where anything is true and everything is possible, especially when the audience cannot see the tools that are shaping their mind. Take control of the broadcast, reshape the subliminal message, and we will let you out.

New MK-Challenge: INVESTIGATE THE MINOTAUR

Corporate power and dynastic wealth are the cornerstone of free societies, but only so long as extracurricular activities can be kept quiet. Once private hobbies become public scandal, the guilty must be exposed and destroyed so more tedious dynasties can be put in place. Find the evidence of the Buffalo Minotaur’s crimes, bring it to the press, and we will let you out.

New Limited-Time Event: GEISTER

Program Geister is an experiment in convergent hallucinatory therapy designed to amplify unforeseen side effects of the Trials. Surviving subjects can expect prolonged psychological harm.

• Experience the event by playing Trials in the program Geister.

• Earn Event Tokens by completing Trials and Geister Tasks.

• Program Geister Variators:

• **EXTRACT ORGAN SAMPLES. **Find deceased reagents and extract organ samples for analysis.

• HALLUCINATIONS? Side effects, trauma or something else?

• MORE IMPOSTERS. More NPC imposters in the Trial.

• NO PLAYER NAMES. Player names are hidden. (Intensive and Psychosurgery)

• Part 1 will take place from October 21 @ 10am ET - November 4 @ 9:59am ET

• Part 2 will take place from November 4 @ 10am ET - November 18 @9:59am ET

New Limited-Time Catalog: GEISTER

A brand new Event Catalog is available for the duration of the Geister Limited-Time event.

• Players can spend their acquired Geister Tokens in the Limited-Time Catalog to unlock exclusive cosmetics from the Geister 2025 Catalog.

• The Geister Catalog access is free to all players for the duration of the event. All unspent Event Tokens will be lost after November 18 at 9:59am ET.

• Once the 2025 Geister Event ends the Catalog will be vaulted. The 2025 Geister Catalog will be available in the Murkoff Store at a later date. You will be able to unlock the Catalog with Murkoff Coins, and its price will be balaced depending how far you progressed into it.

Introducing Featured Trial Makers

The Therapy Selection screen now showcases community-made Trials, crafted with the Trial Maker.

Introducing In-Game Store

Murkoff hears your demands. We are introducing a new in-game shop where Reagents can purchase exclusive outfits, DLC packs, and Catalogs from past events.

• Blackmarket: Explore a selection of brand-new outfits.

• Catalogs Collection: Browse Deluxe Catalogs and revisit those from past Limited-Time Events.

• The unlock cost of past Event Catalogs available in the Store is adjusted based on your progress of that specific Catalog. For example, Catalogs will be priced lower if you already unlocked a portion of it when the Event was live.

• Event Catalogs will eventually be added to the Store after their run ends. They will be free for the duration of the event, and will be purchasable once they are introduced in the Store.

• DLCs: Access all available downloadable content packs.

• Daily Murkoff Box: Receive a free random reward daily simply for visiting the store.

• Murkoff Coins: Purchase the Murkoff Coins currency to spend in the Store.

• Free Gift with first purchase: Receive an exclusive outfit with your first purchase of Murkoff Coins.

• The store will be updated regularly with new items, promotions and more!

To celebrate the opening of the shop, every Reagent will receive 500 Murkoff Coins to spend on whatever their heart desires!

Catalogs Screen Revamp

The Catalogs screen has been revamped and now features:

• Current Event Catalog (Geister)

• Current Season Catalog (Project Diarchy)

• Pinned Catalog of your choice (optional)

• Access to the Catalogs Collection

You can pin any Catalog from to Catalogs Collection to make it stick to the main Catalogs screen for quick access.

Additions/Fixes/Balancing

• Added new Evidence Documents for Geister and Invasion.

• Easy Anti-Cheat is introduced along with this update in order to combat potential exploits and cheats in our game, and to aim for a fair competitive environment for all our players.

• The “Kill the Snitch” Trial on Introductory difficulty has been completely reworked with a new, beginner-friendly flow.

• With the addition of the Imposter Chems, the 100 Therapy Levels are not enough to unlock every Prescription, Chem, Rig, Rig Upgrade, and Amp in a single run. Choose carefully as you shape your loadout - or Relapse as many times as needed to eventually assemble the complete arsenal.

• Therapy Selection Screen: Reworked to better support new features.

• Solo Rebirth: Added Mirror variator in Solo Rebirth (Mansion) (occurs randomly).

• Rebirth Rewards: Now grants 10,000 XP / 100 Stamps (previously 500 XP / 50 Stamps).

• Jammer Rig: Hack duration for Ex-Pop Specialists adjusted to 5s (base) / 4s (upgraded) (previously 6s / 5s).

• All unpurchased items won’t appear in the customization menu anymore. They can be accessed via the new In-game Store instead.

• Performance XP: Fixed an issue where some actions did not grant the correct amount of XP.

• Murkoff Mines present in the Trials will have a different visual aspect based on their effect (Fire, Cold, Explosive).

• Adjusted the Social Menu main screen to display drop down menu instead of sending quick invites.

• The option to INVADE a friend is part of this dropdown menu. A knife icon is displayed next to their name if their Trial is invadable.

• Fixed a bug where NPC Imposters would not move after spawning.

• Added “Push to Mute” voice activation option in the audio settings.

Known Issues

• As this is the launch of a completely new mode, matchmaking may not be optimal for everyone at first. We’ll be closely monitoring the rollout and making adjustments as quickly as possible to ensure a great experience for all players, but you can expect a few small hiccups along the way!

Murkoff is always listening! Tell us what you think of Invasion Mode and the new update. Join our Discord to share feedback, report issues, or open a support ticket for direct help from our team. You can also share your general feedback, or feedback on the new Invasion Experimental Therapy.

Thank you for your continued support and for braving the Trials with us. See you in the Sleep Room, Reagents!

Team RB

Greetings Reagents,

Prepare for a world in flames with the new Limited-Time Event **Deep Burn. **Face hellish Trials filled with fiery hazards like fire mines, flame throwers, and an increased presence of the Pitcher: Murkoff’s resident and unhinged pyromaniac. Along with the fiery new hazards introduced in Season 4.1, two new MK-Challenges will be available to all Reagents. In **Traffick the Product, **players invade the territory of sinister manbaby mafioso, Franco Barbi, in order to flood his streets with a new experimental opioid devised by Murkoff. Meanwhile, **Disrupt the Neighborhood **aims to break down the barriers that divide us, literally, to encourage intrusion from outsiders. After all, without any fences, we’re all free to be each other’s neighbor!

Greetings Reagents,

We are deploying a small patch to fix some issues that have been reported since our latest update!

The issues our team has fixed in this patch:

• Reverted matchmaking changes. No more trial fill option.

• Increased Release Tokens granted.

• Legacy Reborn Trophies will now be granted when you reach the required release count for players who released at least once prior to version 4.0.

Those Trophies are granted automatically, no need to go through the task system.

• When completing the new Tasks for Rebirth, if you had never Rebirthed in the past or if you reached a certain point in your progress, you will obtain both the old and new Trophies as you keep releasing Reagents.

• Fix the Ultra 2 variator not blocking some item variators from being picked. It's already limiting items enough as is.

• Team RB

Greetings Reagents,

Project Diarchy is upon us! This seasonal update welcomes our New Prime Asset Otto & Arora to the Sinyala Facility and they bring with them devastating buzzsaw takedowns, incapacitating toxic attacks, and precise 360° vision. They stalk the Shopping Mall- the grand intersection of American culture and capitalist commerce, and our new Trial Environment. Lose yourself in 2 new MK-Challenges, a revamped and deepened Rebirth system, and additional DLC cosmetics and more.

Season 4: Project Diarchy

In PROJECT DIARCHY, Reagents come face-to-face-to-face with Otto and Arora Kress. Conjoined at birth, the Kress Twins have a set of eyes both fore and aft. They can spot a victim from any angle, stop them with a thrown vile of noxious poison, and split them in two with their buzzsaw.

New Prime Asset: Otto & Arora Kress

Otto and Arora are the shameful secret of the Kress family dynasty. Scions to an industrial chemical fortune, twisted geniuses of chemistry and politics, their narcissistic entitlement fuels an overwhelming ire for those uncultured massed physically blessed by so-called normalcy. Raised in secrecy, their relationship festered into a codependent affair of incest, murder, and true love.

The Kress Twins lord over the Shopping Mall, where they will do anything to stop Reagents from sabotaging their political rally in the latest Trial, “Kill the Politician.”

New Environment: The Shopping Mall

A consumerist wonder of the world, the Shopping Mall is a living museum in celebration of the power and imperative of the purse. What you own is who you are, so come on in and purchase the person you want to be.

New Trial: Kill the Politician

Our union is rooted in the liberty born from the intersection of commerce and politics, where every citizen has all the rights they can afford. Vote with your wallet, and show us the freedom you deserve.

New MK-Challenge: Get Out the Vote

It's time to get out the vote, and we can't trust a politician to cross the street by himself. Escort our candidate door to door and back to the poling station. Make sure he comes out a winner, even if it means twisting a few arms.

New Mk-Challenge: Sentence the Prosecuted

They call it a "sentence" because a few choice words can condemn a human to death. Decipher the charges, pin it to the defendant, and make sure that it sticks.

New Event: Kress Twins

We welcome our new Prime Asset with a tour of the facilities. For a limited time, Otto and Arora Kress will be present in all of the Trials of the Kress Twins therapy.

New Deluxe Catalog: Project Diarchy

• The catalog is filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items for your own self expression.

• As a reminder, the Deluxe Catalogs are available permanently. Unlock items at your own pace.

Rebirth reopening to all Reagents

After careful consideration, Easterman is reopening the Rebirth to all reagents who deserve it. Rebirth now offers two options: The original Rebirth for solo players. The new Rebirth, called Communal Rebirth, which is designed for teams.

This new Rebirth drops the players in a random Trial with 3 unique variators.

• **Mirror Variator **- The perspective of the Trial has shifted. All Trials now feel completely different.

• **Rebirth Variator **- It's time to rebuild yourself. Each player must locate their records box hidden in the Trial and return it to the drop location near the shuttle. There are also 3 radio frequencies that must be tuned to discover familiar words. These 2 secondary objectives must be completed on top of the regular Trial objective in succeed and escape.

• Classified Variator - A surprise variator has been injected into the therapy. You'll discover what it is as you play. You're gonna need to adapt - or die.

Survive Rebirth, and witness what the Reagents become once they return to the outside world!

• Rebirth now requires each member of a group to have 100 Rebirth Tokens. It is now possible to stack up to 1000 Rebirth Tokens. Rebirth Token rewards for completing Trials have been revisited (5 Rebirth Tokens per Trial, and 3 Rebirth Tokens per MK-Challenge).

• Tasks associated to successfully completing the new Rebirth protocol are now available! Become Reborn and you will be rewarded with a new Trophy (and the old ones if you had not received them in the past), as well as a selection of exclusive Legendary outifts.

New DLC Packs

Four times the fear! 4 unique cosmetic packs filled with outfits, room decor, and more so you can enter the Shopping Mall already looking your best!

• Once the event ends, the catalog will be removed, and any unspent tokens will be lost.

New MK-Challenge: FUMIGATE THE FACTORY

Aging workers with their pensions and benefits are the bleeding wounds of our economy, draining the corporate body with their chronic existence. Stop the bleeding with a sterilizing gas and put the workers out of our misery.

New MK-Challenge: REDEEM YOUR FREEDOM

Currency, like your survival, is worthless unless you give it value with faith. Collect tickets like your life depended on it.

Revamp of Program Genesis

The Genesis Program has been revamped to include all Trials and MK-Challenges.

• Trials are now organized by theme.

• Programs now feature distinct visual feedback to clearly differentiate between Trials and MK-Challenges.

• Going forward, all new Trials and MK-Challenges will be added under their corresponding themes within the Genesis Program.

Quickplay replaced by Group Finder

• Quick Play has been replaced with the new Group Finder.

• Accessible from the Terminal’s main screen, the Group Finder allows players to connect with others looking to participate in the same activity. Developper Comment: With the wide variety of activities in the game, managing them all through a single matchmaking system became increasingly complex. This often led to long wait times or failed group formations. The new Group Finder offers a streamlined solution—helping players quickly connect with others interested in the same activity. Once matched, players can communicate to fine-tune the details before jumping in.

Pause Menu rework

• The Pause Menu now features three tabs: Menu, Tasks, and Loadout.

• Players can navigate through these tabs to view their respective content.

• While in a Trial, the Loadout tab is view-only. Changes can still be made in the Sleep Room and Shuttle before starting a Trial.

• Holding Tab (or Select on Gamepad) remains a shortcut to quickly open the Tasks tab.

Tasks Tracking

• It is now possible to pin one Task and have it displayed in the HUD permanently.

• Simply navigate to the Tasks menu and press the Pin input.

Additions/Fixes/Balancing

• “Weekly Therapies” are now called “Routine Therapies” and include more tasks to complete for extra rewards. This change helps distinguish them from rotating “Weekly Tasks” and week-long program tasks.

• Routine Therapies and Special Therapies will now include event variators in the Introductory difficulty, since it’s now possible to play any Trial in its original format within Program Genesis.

• Jaeger Ex-Pop changes:

• The Jaeger will no longer spawn during Trials of the Genesis Programs on Introductory and Standard difficulties.

• It can still appear in Standard difficulty for Routine, Event, and Escalation Therapies.

• Spawn chances reduced to 20% (was 33%) at Standard Difficulty.

• Spawn chances reduced to 75% (was 100%) (Intensive and Psychosurgery)

• The Jaeger can now only spawn once per Trial.

• Once spawned, the Jaeger presence in a Trial is reduced to 3 minutes (was 5 minutes).

• Trial Maker:

• Improved Variators compatibility.

• Added a new tab “Last Played” that lists the last Trials played in chronological order.

• Escalation Therapy:

• Added all latest MK-Challenges.

• Reduced the number of syringe in Trials.

• Solo: Players can now have a maximum reserve of 5 respawns (including Escalation).

• Genesis: Adjusted variators in Intensive and Psychosurgery difficulties.

• Settings: A new option has been added to automatically equip picked-up items.

• The Stamina Boost item now grants temporary stamina immunity and a short speed boost upon consumption.

• Added new behaviors for the imposters: list of behaviors redacted on purpose 🤫

• Gameplay tutorials will now reappear for players who have been inactive for several days.

• Fixed missing reward for the Genesis task “Score A+ in the Trial: Liquidate the Union”. Players will have to recomplete the task to claim the reward.

• Fixed a bug where Program Genesis was reset after a Relapse.

• Other various bug fixes.

LINK TRAILER

New Trial: Liquidate the Union

Human labor is the backbone of liberty and profit. We cannot allow the vanity of self-preservation to threaten production. Cross the picket line, persuade labor to resume production, and liquify the union.

New MK-Challenge: Spread the Disease

Sexually transmitted disease is the secret handshake of evolutionary judgement and divine retribution. Spread the infection, and we will let you out.

New MK-Challenge: Cook the Informant

New Deluxe Catalog: Project Relapse

New Enemy: The Jaeger

The Jaeger initiative introduces a valuable new member to our Experimental Population, an exemplar of resilience, dedication, and obedience. Equipped with the latest in radio broadcasting technology, Murkoff guides the Jaeger remotely with simple instructions—Find and kill the assigned Reagent, wherever they run, wherever they hide. A lethal homing device on two legs, the Jaeger doesn’t stop until her target is brutally murdered. Don’t give up, and Murkoff won’t give up on you.

• A new enemy type can now visit the Trials: The Jaeger

• When the Jaeger appears in a Trial, she will target one Reagent and chase it until death.

New Limited-Time Program: Jeager Onboarding

The Jaeger is currently undergoing vigorous live environment testing. Just as death follows a wasted life, so does the Jaeger follow those it wishes to hold close.

New Variator:

• Generate names for your creations by selecting from a list of words.

• Easily share your creations with friends using a unique Trial code.

• Play Trials made by other players using their code or if they are present in the same Sleep Room.

The Escape

Reagents, this will likely be the only chance we’ve got… Now is your chance to Escape the Sinyala Facility!

Greetings Reagents,

We are deploying a small patch to fix some issues that have been reported since our latest update!

The issues our team has fixed in this patch:

• Fixed the Pitcher not spawning.

• Fixed an issue where room clues for Kidnap the Mistress were localized to the language set in-game therefore not matching the way it is labelled within the Downtown map. All room clues will now be labelled in English for clarity.

• Fixed an issue where Night Vision Goggles were misaligned after players equipped them in their Sleep Room Cell.

• Fixed an issue where some players were unable to complete or claim their Weekly Task rewards. We have reset all Weekly Tasks and players can now complete them again for extra rewards.
