Alone in the Dark (2024 video game)
Alone in the Dark is an upcoming survival horror game developed by Pieces Interactive and published by THQ Nordic. The game is a reimagining of the 1992 game Alone in the Dark and the seventh installment in the Alone in the Dark video game series. It is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 16 January 2024. Story
The game follows Emily Hartwood (Jodie Comer) and private investigator Edward Carnby (David Harbour) as they travel to Derceto Manor, a home for the mentally fatigued, to investigate the disappearance of Jeremy Hartwood, Emily's uncle. Gameplay 
Alone in the Dark will feature an "over-the-shoulder" third-person perspective, doing away with the fixed camera angles of the original. This is similar to the Resident Evil franchise, which also chose this mechanic for their recent remakes. Combat is available with a firearm, or melee weapon as shown by the reveal trailer. Development 
A remake of the original game was in active development by Eden Games after the release of Alone in the Dark: Inferno. But following the liquidation of the studio by Atari in 2013, the game was cancelled. Three years after the poor reception of Alone in the Dark: Illumination, then-owner Atari SA sold the Alone in the Dark franchise to THQ Nordic in September 2018. Pieces Interactive, which was most known for making Magicka 2, commenced the game's development in 2019. In August 2022, Alone in the Dark was revealed at THQ Nordic's Showcase. It will feature an original plot that incorporates characters from the first three Alone in the Dark games. The team was inspired by the success of Resident Evil 2 in 2019, and Resident Evil 3 in 2020. The game was written by Mikael Hedberg, who had previously worked at Frictional Games on Soma and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Artist Guy Davis, best known for his work with Guillermo del Toro and his own comic series The Marquis, was recruited to design the monsters featured in the game. Series creator Frédérick Raynal gave his blessings to the reimagining saying that Pieces Interactive did a great job preserving the "core feeling" from the original game. Release 
A free demo for the game, titled Grace in the Dark: Prologue, was released for all platforms on 25 May 2023. It was originally scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 25 October 2023, but was delayed to 16 January 2024 in order to avoid a "chaotic" release window. References
