<p><em>Outlast 2 </em>was <a href="http://www.polygon.com/2016/8/1/12343362/outlast-2-delayed-2017">delayed not too long ago</a>, pushed from its 2016 release date into 2017. The sequel to the popular horror game is not going to let Halloween slip by without giving fans a taste of the terror awaiting them, though. Red Barrels announced today that a demo for the game, which has been shown around several conventions throughout the year, is going to be available today for free. So if you have a PS4, Xbox One or Steam, keep an eye out for the demo which should be available sometime today.</p>
<p>The demo unfortunately will only be available to download until November 1st, so make sure to grab it while you can. In lieu of a <em>P.T. </em>for this year, an <em>Outlast 2 </em>demo will do just nicely. Combine that with the <em>Resident Evil 7 </em>demo and you&#8217;ve got a great night of horror awaiting you.</p>
<p>For those unaware of <em>Outlast 2</em>, it follows two investigative journalists as they delve deep into the investigation of a murder only to find themselves entrenched in corruption and darkness. As Red Barrels second entry in the <em>Outlast </em>series, the game looks to scare and frighten players much like the original. The demo is only the beginning of Red Barrels&#8217; promotion for the game as they intend to reveal more features and environments as the release date gets closer.</p>
<p><em>Outlast 2 </em>will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in Q1 2017.</p>
