‘Amnesia: The Bunker’ Pushed to May 23
After being pushed to next month for release from March, Frictional Games’ Amnesia: The Bunker will see another delay. However, fans don’t need to worry, as the delay is just one more week.
Originally set for a May 16 release, The Bunker will instead arrive May 23. According to the press release, Frictional will be taking the extra week to polish the game further to ensure that everything is “absolutely perfect”. The other reason being that May 23 will give a bit more breathing room for the game, seeing as May 16 would put it up against another Survival Horror title in Red Barrels’ The Outlast Trials, which arrives on May 18.
Set during World War 1, Amnesia: The Bunker will have players taking on the role of Henri Clement, a French soldier who is left behind by his battalion and finds himself trapped inside an abandoned military bunker. But he’s not alone. A deadly creature stalks the corridors, hunting for its next meal.
As Henri, players must navigate the dark and twisted maze of the bunker, using all their skills and resources to outsmart and outrun the beast. But the creature is not the only obstacle Henri must face. The bunker is a labyrinth of twists and turns, filled with traps and other hazards that threaten to end the soldier’s life at every turn.
Amnesia: The Bunker is set to arrive on the Xbox Series, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
