Last summer, we learned that THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive were reimagining the original “Alone in the Dark” video game trilogy for modern audiences. Set to be released on January 16, 2024, THQ Nordic has just debuted nearly 10 minutes of gameplay footage in the new trailer, ‘Looking for Jeremy.’
The gameplay footage features several new, unedited gameplay scenes, unsettling enemies, and suspicious surroundings, and flips between scenes with Emily and Edward, both of which are playable characters, giving you different experiences and perspectives, making at least two playthroughs a must.
“Alone in the Dark” is a love letter to the ground-breaking original, allowing players to experience a haunting story through the eyes of one of the two protagonists: play as Edward Carnby, portrayed by David Harbour (“Stranger Things”), or Emily Hartwood, portrayed by Jodie Comer (“Free Guy”) in this reimagined classic survival horror game, where Psychological Horror meets Southern Gothic. The game immerses you in gloomy neighborhoods and dangerous situations, causing you to question what’s real and what’s not. Ammo is scarce, and the monsters are pure nightmare material—sometimes, running and avoiding fights is better. Solve puzzles and uncover the unsettling truth of Derceto Manor.
The compelling story by Mikael Hedberg (“SOMA,” “Amnesia: The Dark Descent”), the exceptional monster design by legendary Guillermo del Toro collaborator Guy Davis, and the haunting Doom Jazz melodies by legend Jason Köhnen come together to create a chilling and atmospheric survival horror experience.
“Alone in the Dark” is being developed by Pieces Interactive in Sweden and will be coming to PC, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation5 on January 16, 2024. The game is available to wishlist on Steam and available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store.
