The upcoming reimagining of Alone in the Dark is getting a limited Collector’s Edition. A post over on THQ’s website says there’s only going to be 5,000 of these made worldwide, so you might want to get in quick if you want one.
The Collector’s Edition will feature a fair amount of bonus material, including both a statue and miniature, a steelbook case for the game, some DLC (which includes the Derceto 1992 costume pack), and more. You can check out the trailer for this special edition below.
Return to the dark
We all know that Resident Evil is one of the most influential survival horror series of all time. However, Alone in the Dark actually predates Capcom’s legendary franchise by four years.
The first Alone in the Dark game set the scene for the genre and while it’s massively dated now, it’s been cemented in gaming history as a landmark part of horror. Sadly, subsequent releases and attempts at reboots haven’t had much of an impact, being overshadowed by other games that have come after it.
However, Alone in the Dark is making another comeback. A recent video uploaded to publisher THQ Nordic’s YouTube page gives a brief teaser of the upcoming title, which is being developed by Magicka 2 studio Pieces Interactive.
While previous attempts at bringing Alone in the Dark into the modern world have not gone down well, horror fans will still be looking forward to this entry.
With Killing Eve‘s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things‘ David Harbour on board (not to mention a story crafted by Amnesia and SOMA writer Mikael Hedberg), there’s enough intrigue here to hopefully give the iconic horror series another crack at video game modernity.
Alone in the Dark is due for release on October 25, and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
