Alone in the Dark, the reboot of the survival horror title from the 90s, will now launch in January.
Developer Pieces Interactive said it is “gracefully” stepping away from the “chaotic” October release window, to “avoid competing with the wake of Alan’s epic release and to evade the dazzling skyline of cities adorned by the graceful swings of Spider-Man”.
The developer continued: “Horror games thrive on the delicate balance of tension, exploiting our vulnerability and the eerie embrace of solitude. Envision yourself traversing a dimly lit house in the dead of night, where faint whispers and unidentifiable noises send shivers down your spine.
“Now, picture this unsettling scenario not alone, but accompanied by a group of 28 intriguing individuals. The fear factor dwindles, doesn’t it?”
Alone in the Dark, which stars Stranger Things’ David Harbour and Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer as the playable protagonists, is now set to release on 16th January 2024. It will be coming to PC, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation 5.
