To celebrate the launch of The Outlast Trials, our team, in partnership with Bunker VFX created an intense and gory trailer that puts the spotlight on both Prime Assets of the game, Murkoff’s deadliest creations whose sole purpose is to hunt and torment the players trying to survive the Trials.
Our trailer presents the Prime Assets in an unusual context, having them subdued and interrogated by their jailor, Dr. Easterman. The script, written in collaboration with the game’s narrative director, explores their motivations, their psychological traumas and the small hints of humanity remaining in their broken minds, shedding a new light on these iconic antagonists.
Apart from the narration, brutal and unnerving gameplay sheds even more light on the deranged personas of the Prime Assets. Our in-house capture artists set out to capture top-quality footage showcasing the threat each Prime Asset represents in-game.
As a secondary goal, the trailer introduces very brief flashes of new content planned to be released during the game’s first official season and, incidentally, to excite the community about the prospect of a recurrent flow of new content for them to explore and have fun with.
To the delight of the fans, the trailer ends with a short CG scene strengthening the connection between The Outlast Trials and the other two entries of the series.
