‘Amnesia: Rebirth’ Takes the Iconic Horror Game Series to a Deadly Desert This October
Frictional Games’ Amnesia: The Dark Descent was one of the most important horror games of the last decade, helping to refresh an entire genre with its brand of narrative horror. Ten years on, we finally get a full sequel in the form of Amnesia: Rebirth, and it’s coming next month!
It was announced today that Amnesia Rebirth will be heading to PS4 and PC on October 20, adding another new horror game to your pre-Halloween plans alongside the likes of The Dark Pictures: Little Hope, Song of Horror, and Remothered: Broken Porcelain.
A new trailer accompanied the news, and it shows off this brand new story of brutal survival set in Algeria’s dusty deserts and creepy caves. Being Amnesia, the elements are not the only threat to the protagonist. Something far worse is out there, hidden in tombs, caverns, and strange, unknown places.
In the press release for the announcement, Creative Director Thomas Grip says the game is ‘not just another haunted house spook-fest, but an emotionally harrowing journey’. He also adds that this will be a more narrative-focused game than previous entries, with a far more fleshed out protagonist in Tasi Trianon, who is not only trying to battle fear and survive the scorching desert after escaping a plane crash, but is also seeking answers to questions concerning a dark mystery in the dunes.
It promises to be a departure of sorts from The Dark Descent, which is probably a good idea given how many games have copied that one in the past ten years.
Roll on October 20, where you’ll be able to endure this harrowing story of survival on PS4, Steam, GOG, and the Epic Game Store
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
