October's busy release schedule, but it now seems that delaying the release 
back to January wasn't enough. In a press release, THQ Nordic explains how it 
came to the decision to postpone the survival game further until March 2024.

would have been filled with stress and anything butajolly time for Pieces 
Interactive," THQ Nordic said. "Thewell-being oftheteams isatop priority, and

Furthermore, THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive want to ensure thatthegame not 
only meets but exceedstheexpectations ofthecommunity, especially 
withtheoutstanding performances of Hollywood stars David and Jodie asthemain 
protagonists." 

 Alone in the Dark reboot is now slated to release on March 20, 2024, for PS5 
, Xbox Series X |S, and PC. Players can expect the survival horror game to 
capitalize on its roots as it reimagines the classic version from 1992. 

However, if you can't wait until March 2024, then you can download a free and 
playable prologue right now on Steam , the PlayStation Store , and the 
Microsoft Store . Initially released in May 2023, the Alone in the Dark 
Prologue follows Grace Saunders, an 11-year-old girl whose journey to deliver 
a letter turns horribly wrong. Players can experience the Derceto Manor, the 
haunting Southern Gothic manor, in a whole new light, as well as diving into 
the eldritch horror that this upcoming survival horror game is well known 
for.
