Outlast Season 2 trailer
The Outlast Season 2 trailer is full of wilderness, extreme temperatures, participants stealing supplies from the opponent team's tents, and more. The trailer starts with a player feeling trapped in the middle of the lake and describes it as life-threatening. Another clip shows a player assessing whether hypothermia is setting in.
The peak of the competition is one of the players blacking out, as seen in the trailer. One of the survivors, Tre, explained the competition at that point as a life-or-death situation.
Some players can also be seen trashing the opponent's camp to stay longer in the game. One of the players described the situation, saying,
Somethings you got to be the bad guy, that’s the game - if you weren’t prepared, that’s not our fault.
Outlast Season 2 rules
Fans of the show must know that the debut season featured four teams. Following the first season's format, the second season will feature four teams: Alpha Camp, Bravo Camp, Charlie Camp, and Delta Camp.
The competition will start with four players in each team. However, later in the game, competitors can change their team and choose to move to another team. Additionally, participants can approach other team members and get the stronger player in their squad to survive for longer.
The participants will have one day to form new teams, or else they will forfeit. Players who wish to quit are free to do so. To do so, they need to shoot a flare in the sky. If any participant is too sick or needs medical attention, they must quit the show and get treatment.
The champion is the team that survives until the end and wins the final challenge.
Viewers will witness next-level competition and a furious battle between the players, who will compete against nature and fellow survivors. Fans waiting to watch the survival competition show can stream Outlast Season 2 on Netflix on Wednesday, September 4, 2024.
