Delay for Quality: THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive Reschedule Alone in the Dark
In a strategic move, THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive are shifting the release date of their much-anticipated survival horror game, Alone in the Dark, to March 20, 2024. Originally scheduled for a January 2024 release, this change aims to ensure both team well-being and game excellence.
Christmas Crunch Avoided
With the holiday season typically stressful, the decision to reschedule aims to avoid crunch time for the development team at Pieces Interactive. THQ Nordic emphasizes the importance of team health and work-life balance, especially during the festive season.
Exceeding Expectations
The rescheduling is not just about avoiding holiday stress. Both THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive are committed to delivering a game that not only meets but surpasses community expectations. The game features performances by Hollywood stars David Harbour and Jodie Comer, raising the bar for its narrative and character portrayal.
Game Overview: A Haunting Reimagining
Alone in the Dark rekindles the essence of the original title, offering a haunting narrative experienced through either Edward Carnby (David Harbour) or Emily Hartwood (Jodie Comer). Set in a world where psychological horror meets Southern Gothic, players will navigate Derceto Manor, battling monsters, solving puzzles, and unraveling dark truths.
A Stellar Team Behind the Terror
The game boasts an impressive creative team: a story by Mikael Hedberg (known for SOMA, Amnesia: The Dark Descent), monster designs by Guillermo del Toro’s collaborator Guy Davis, and atmospheric Doom Jazz melodies by Jason Köhnen. This blend of talents promises a chilling and immersive survival horror experience.
Platform Availability
Developed by Pieces Interactive in Sweden, Alone in the Dark is gearing up for its release on PC, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation®5. Mark your calendars for March 20, 2024, and brace yourselves for a spine-tingling adventure.
