Outlast Will Have a Prequel DLC Called Whistleblower

Red Barrels Games revelead details of their first upcoming DLC Whistleblower for their hit game Outlast. It is a prequel DLC set in Mount Massive Asylum  wherein players will take control of the whistleblower who anonymously tipped the protagonist Miles Upshur in the main game.

"You’ll encounter the experiments and abuse (conducted in the name of science, of course) that led to the asylum’s downfall – in fact, your encounter may be a bit too close for comfort… Explore the asylum minutes before the slaughter, then experience the outbreak firsthand. If you can survive, you’ll find new environments and meet terrifying new characters in another quest to uncover truths which were never meant to be revealed," the DLC was described in the press release. 

A few days ago we reported that Conan O'Brien was impressed with the game when he reviewed it for his Clueless Gamer segment.

Outlast was released on September 4th for Microsoft Windows and is awaiting a PS4 release in the first quarter of 2014.
