Set in a disturbed, destroyed asylum, the game leaves you empty-handed and facing down plenty of creeps jumping out of the shadows.Īnd as we learned from Yellface, our let’s-play series of Outlast 2, there are only more to come in the sequel. It’s totally appropriate for something like Outlast to spring up on the eShop out of nowhere.

That’s a prequel called Whistleblower, which launched about a year after Outlast did. The Nintendo Switch version of the game, Bundle of Terror, includes the Outlast and its downloadable content. Yet the company never got more specific about a release date, and hasn’t spoken about the Switch port since December. A post on the franchise’s Facebook page even showed a developer playing a pre-release build of the game on Switch. Publisher Red Barrels previously announced that it would bring both Outlast and its 2017 sequel, Outlast 2, to Nintendo Switch in the first quarter of 2018. Out of nowhere, Outlast - the 2013 survival horror game - has appeared on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
