Alone in the Dark is making a return after 14 years away
During the recent THQ Nordic showcase, the kick off game was Alone in the Dark, an all-new entry in the series that has been absent for a number of years. Check out the announcement trailer for it below, just be aware there are some subjects that are shown in the trailer that are going to be distressing to some viewers.
The game is an all-new entry, this is not a reboot or a sequel, just something new. In fact, the game is so new, the team at Pieces Interactive who are developing the game, got writer Mikael Hedberg in develop the story and if the name sounds familiar, that is because he is the writer of SOMA and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
In addition to the story, Guillermo del Toro collaborator, Guy Davis, has contributed monster designs. And Doom Jazz legend Jason Köhnen provides eerie and haunting melodies to create a tense, twisted and haunting audio atmosphere.
The game features classic survival horror gameplay, as you’d expect. You’ll explore environments, solve puzzles, and experience a deep psychological original horror story. You’ll also experience hyper-tense action and combat as you battle supernatural monsters.
The team are bringing the game to PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 and are aiming to create a game that takes advantage of modern gaming technology to reimagine so much of what makes the original great while pushing things forward for a new Alone in the Dark experience.
There is no release date for it, but late 2023 would be likely.
