Last September, THQ Nordic announced that its reimagining of Alone in the Dark would be delayed to January to avoid a congested release schedule in 2023 - and now the team has delayed the game a little longer for the health of its teams.
THQ has revealed that Alone in the Dark will now launch on March 20th rather than next month "to avoid any potential crunch over the Christmas holidays". Here's a bit more about the reasoning behind this short delay:
"The year is coming to an end, and the Christmas Holidays are upon us. However, until today, it didn't seem that way for Pieces Interactive, the team developing our upcoming survival-horror game, Alone in the Dark. With our initially planned release date in January 2024, the Christmas season would have been filled with stress and anything but a jolly time for them."
It's refreshing to see such honesty from a team here, and we're glad to see Pieces Interactive get all the time it needs to polish up Alone in the Dark in a responsible, healthy manner. We'll still be here in March, ready to go hands on with this next-gen survival horror title!
In the meantime, we'll drop the team's most recent gameplay trailer down below - along with a link to the game's free prologue on Xbox if you fancy trying it out ahead of release. This one looks to be shaping up quite nicely and could be a real Xbox Series X|S treat when it lands in March 2024.
