FULL STORY
======================================================================

After over three decades since the first Alone in the Dark title, THQ Nordic 
is rebooting the series for October 25, later this year. This cosmic horror 
title pioneered the fixed-camera formula that fans would later see in series 
like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, with many hailing the original Alone in 
the Dark as one of the classics of the survival horror genre. 

Luckily for those who cant wait until October, theres a playable Prologue 
available today on Steam, PS5 , and Xbox Series X |S. The decision to release 
a prologue for fans to get to grips with ahead of the release date is loosely 
inspired by Alone in the Dark 2 s Jack in the Dark demo . 

Therell also be a pre-order bonus DLC for those who decide they like the 
Prologue. The DLC, called the Deceto 1992 Costume Pack , and it lets players 
select the original 1992 character models in all their retro glory. However, 
if this doesnt float your boat, you can purchase the standard edition for 
$59.99 / 49.99 / AU$94.67. 

Based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft combined with voodoo, the Wild West, 
and the works of H.R. Giger, Alone in the Dark is a true amalgamation of 
supernatural and cosmic horror. While the reboot seeks to pay homage to the 
previous six installments, well hopefully see something new as it will be 
handled by the developers behind Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Soma , the 
Swedish developer Pieces Interactive. 

The reboot will include segments outside the mansion, including forgotten 
cemeteries and bayous. The playable protagonists, Carnby and Hartwood, will 
be portrayed by Stranger Things  David Harbour and Killing Eve s Jodie Comer. 
Depending on which character you choose, therell be different perspectives on 
the narrative with changing events and unique NPC reactions depending on who 
you're playing as. What makes horror games so scary?
