Bandai Namco have announced that Man of Medan, the first release in the Dark Pictures Anthology will be releasing on August 30th for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, with a special bonus for those that pre-order.

Anyone who orders the game will get access to a special new path, called the “Curator’s Cut, which will become available down the line to all other players.

“The Curator’s Cut is different to the traditional Director’s Cut as it gives the player new ways to directly influence the story and its outcomes. Players will see and change events and relationships from the perspective of characters that weren’t under control in their first playthrough.” said Pete Samuels: Executive Producer, The Dark Pictures Anthology, Supermassive Games.

“It adds a whole new layer to how the player understands and interacts with the story in a way that’s never been done before, and we’re excited for people to experience it.”

Unlocked after completing the game once, the Curator’s Cut (which will be made available for free to all players at a later date) provides:

• A new perspective with alternative characters in previously played scenes

• New decisions and choices within each scene which change the story in different ways

• New scenes and new secrets not featured in the original playthrough
