The highly anticipated Alone in the Dark remake has finally revealed its two main characters, Detective Edward Carnby played by David Harbour and Emily Hartwood played by Jodie Comer. Horror fans can now get a closer look at the gameplay in the new spotlight video released by THQ Nordic.
Players will have the option to choose between the two playable characters, each with their own unique interactions with NPCs and slight variations in the story. This means that to fully experience the horror classic, players will have to play through the game at least twice. Get ready to be scared out of your wits!
The highly anticipated Alone in the Dark remake is set to launch on October 25, 2023, and promises to deliver a spine-chilling survival horror adventure. The game is being developed with Unreal Engine 4, and the gameplay is reminiscent of beloved classics like Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4. With an over-the-shoulder camera, exploration, and combat, players will find themselves immersed in a world that feels right at home in a Capcom title.
Notably, the remake draws inspiration from the newer Resident Evil titles, which were themselves heavily influenced by the original Alone in the Dark. Fans of the genre can rejoice, as a playable demo entitled Grace in the Dark: Prologue is available for download on all platforms. Set before the events of the main game, players will take on the role of Grace Saunders and get a sneak peek at the game's atmosphere and tone. While combat won't be featured in the demo, it's sure to leave horror fans eagerly anticipating the full release.
Pre-ordering the Alone in the Dark remake comes with its perks. Players who pre-order will receive the 1992 costume pack, which allows them to play with character models resembling the original Alone in the Dark characters, rather than David Harbour and Jodie Comer. Additionally, a digital artbook will be available for those who want to delve deeper into the game's creative process. The remake also features customizable filters such as sepia and black and white, enabling users to further personalize their gaming experience. Mark your calendars for October 25th, when Alone in the Dark will be released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
