Alone in the Dark reboot delayed again
Dec 07, 2023 3:59 PMThe anticipated reboot of the classic survival horror game, Alone in the Dark, has been delayed yet again, with a new expected release date set for March 20, 2024. Initially, the game was planned to launch in October of this year but faced a reschedule to January 2024 due to a busy release schedule for other major titles like Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. This second delay is to allow the development team to enjoy their Christmas holiday break.
The franchise, which began in 1992, is getting a fresh start with this reboot, following the last game released in 2015, Alone in the Dark: Illumination, which was poorly received by fans. The reboot introduces players to protagonists Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby as they investigate the disappearance of Emily's uncle.

Delays can be a bummer, but hey, it's reassuring to see THQ Nordic prioritize the Pieces Interactive team's welfare over a rushed release—quality over speed keeps the gaming spirits high. Between David Harbour and Jodie Comer lending their voices and that eerie playable prologue, this reboot is shaping up to be a spine-chilling homage to the old-school horror we're all itching to dive back into.

Delays can be a bummer, but they're also a sign that THQ Nordic is sticking to its guns on quality over rush-jobs. It's refreshing to see a publisher prioritize the well-being of its devs and the integrity of the Alone in the Dark experience—we'll just have to be patient for that nostalgic trip down horror lane
