Horror game Outlast launching September 4

Survival horror game Outlast will launch September 4 on Steam for $20, developer Red Barrels announced today. No release date was provided for the PlayStation 4 version of the game.

Outlast is set in the mountains of Colorado and focuses on journalist Miles Upshur. The writer breaks in to the Mount Massive Asylum to get the scoop on why it has been mysteriously reopened by a branch of a transnational corporation.

The game is the debut project from Red Barrels, which was founded last year by industry veterans who have worked on franchises like Army of Two, Assassin's Creed, and Uncharted.
