THQ Nordic hosted a spotlight for Alone in the Dark, an upcoming reboot of the legendary survival horror franchise by Pieces Interactive. It unveiled some new gameplay and confirmed a release date of October 25th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. The reboot will retail for $59.99/£49.99/€59.99.
Set in the 1920s, the story sees investigator Edward Carnby working with Emily Hartwood to find her missing uncle. The duo venture to Derceto Manor and things quickly begin to deteriorate. Along with strange happenings, monsters appear, necessitating combat. Of course, since this is survival horror, you have limited bullets and must use melee weapons when necessary.
Emily and Edward are both playable and offer a unique perspective on the story. Characters also react differently to each protagonist, providing some replay value. They’re also voiced and portrayed by actors Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy) and David Harbour (Stranger Things, Black Widow). Stay tuned for more details on the title shortly.
