Lionsgate is set to adapt the survival horror video game series Outlast into a film, featuring talented personnel from renowned horror franchises. The film will be produced by Roy Lee, known for his work on the Saw series and other notable horror films like It and Barbarian. J.T. Petty, who authored all three Outlast games, will pen the movie's script, aiming to maintain consistency with the source material. This adaptation reflects the booming trend of video game movies, promising to explore the deep lore and psychological tension found in the Outlast universe, captivating both fans and newcomers alike.

What is the storyline of the Outlast video game series?

The Outlast series primarily follows investigative journalists exploring the eerie and terrifying environments of the Mount Massive Asylum and other horror locales. Players must evade hostile entities, unravel dark secrets, and confront psychological fears, all while embracing a survival horror experience without traditional combat mechanics.

Outlast debuted in 2013 and quickly gained recognition for its immersion and chilling atmosphere, which set a new bar for horror gaming. Its critical success led to sequels and expanded lore, solidifying its place in gaming culture and paving the way for this highly anticipated film adaptation.
