Gaming News Alone in the dark… THQ Nordic unveils 4 new games
Alone in the Dark, Space for Sale, Wreckreation, Tempest Rising: here are the 4 titles featured at THQ Nordic Showcase.
Alone in the dark
In 1992, Alone in the Dark became a mainstay of survival horror. The license acquired by THQ Nordic in 2018 has not given any news to date: Detective Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood are back in a “Reimagining” developed by Pieces Interactive (Magicka 2, Titan Quest: Atlantis), owned by Embracer Group. Locations, characters and emblematic themes of the saga find themselves in a completely new story.
Detective Edward Carnby has returned to the Derceto Mansion, a mental hospital for the rich and lucky that houses strange and evasive residents. The man was hired by Emily Hartwood to search for her missing uncle Jeremy Hartwood. The duo is therefore confronted with strange patients and portals to nightmarish worlds. As with a Resident Evil 2 (2019), the player can embody one or the other of these two characters. The environments and perspectives will not be the same depending on the choices made. The game will portray the gothic horror of the southern United States in an experience that blends exploration, combat, puzzles and story
The game has been in development since late 2019, runs on Unreal Engine 4 and is currently in Alpha, which means it is in its very first playable version. The story is autographed by Mikael Hedberg, author of SOMA and Amnesia. Composer Jason Kohnen works on the soundtrack with doom-jazz melodies, while Guy Davis, former collaborator of Guillermo del Toro, handled the design of the monsters. Finally, Pieces Interactive turned to MetricMinds and Gate 21 to produce the cutscenes and characters.
Alone in the Dark will be available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series on a date to be determined.
