Game Overview:
Alone in the Dark is a survival horror game developed by Pieces Interactive and published by THQ Nordic.
It is a reboot of the survival horror franchise.
The survival horror reboot performed below expectations where sales were concerned, Embracer Group revealed last month.
Pieces Interactive's survival horror reboot had a "softer-than-expected performance" following its launch this past March.
The trailer celebrates Alone in the Dark's reception among some media outlets, as well as its positive rating on Steam.
The latest update also fixes several bugs, including crashes, sound delay issues, and more in the survival horror title.
Pieces Interactive and THQ Nordic's reboot of the long-dormant survival horror franchise has released worldwide.
Alone in the Dark sticks the landing in some key areas, but drops the ball in others, making for an uneven experience.
PC players will also require a solid-state drive with 50 GB of space for installation. The horror title launches on March 20th worldwide.
A "rushed" playthrough with either protagonist will be roughly eight hours long, according to developer Pieces Interactive.
Whether you play as Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood, the manor's residents will have different reactions and conversations.
It's bundled with the Deluxe Edition, which also features the Vintage Horror Filter Pack and Director's Commentary Mode.
Pieces Interactive's survival horror reimagining is due out in March for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Follow Emily Hartwood as she explores the unexplored, deciphers puzzles and more in the survival horror, which launches March 20th.
"The well-being of the teams is a top priority, and both companies want to avoid any potential crunch over the Christmas holidays," THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive say.
Check out some spooky exploration, stealth, and combat in the newest gameplay trailer for horror game Alone in the Dark.
Alone in the Dark creature concept designer Guy Davis talks about bringing the survival horror reimagining's monstrosities to life.
The survival horror reboot looks to avoid clashing with Alan Wake 2 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 while further polishing the experience.
The Alone in the Dark Collector's Edition comes with quite a few goodies, including a statue of the Dark Man. One copy will be kept for preservation.
THQ Nordic associate producer Andreas Schmiedecker speaks with GamingBolt about the survival horror franchise's upcoming reboot.
THQ Nordic associate producer Andreas Schmiedecker speaks about Alone in the Dark's brand of horror, and how it will differ from the likes of Resident Evil and Dead Space.
The game will "strive for an equal distribution between combat, exploration, puzzles, and story", with "a light tendency towards exploration and puzzles."
In addition to a quality mode that will target 4K and 30 FPS, the upcoming survival horror title will also feature a 60 FPS performance mode.
THQ Nordic "will be happy to explore further" if reception for the upcoming reboot merits follow-ups.
"For the full story experience, we would expect players to play the game at least twice," assosciate producer Andreas Schmiedecker says.
However, those who remember the original story will "find a lot of hints and references" and "a couple of surprises."
Depending on who players control, they'll see different parts of the manor and reactions from NPCs reflected in the cutscenes.
The prologue follows Grace Saunders as she's asked to deliver a letter to Emily Hartwood while a strange presence lingers in Derceto.
The reboot retails for $59.99 and features Jodie Comer and David Harbour as the protagonists, Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby.
THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive will "unveil answers to some of the most pressing questions surrounding the game".
"This year's showcase will not only include world premiere announcements but also updates and reveals for previously-announced games," the publisher says.
The publisher is also bringing the likes of The Valiant, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, Wreckreation, and more.
In development since late 2019, the survival horror reboot is currently in alpha. Mikael Hedberg of Amnesia: The Dark Descent fame is the writer/director.
Listed for PS5 on Smartoys, the revival is described as a “love letter to the cult '90s game.” It features two playable characters and survival horror elements.
THQ Nordic has owned the Alone in the Dark IP since 2018, and has a digital showcase set for later this week, on August 12.
