It’s a complete rethink of the first game, with the SOMA and Amnesia: Dark Descent writer, Mikael Hedberg, coming in to head up the narrative on the the project.
At today’s THQ Nordic 2022 Digital Showcase, developer Pieces Interactive announced an Alone in the Dark reboot, due to release on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
Per Hedberg, he “had a lot of room to extrapolate from the inspirations of the original game”.
“Derceto Manor, the setting for the first Alone in the Dark game had both character and backstory, that’s why we wanted to go back, at least in some way,” Hedberg explains during the preview.
