‘Amnesia: The Bunker’ Delayed Again, This Time to June 6
Amnesia: The Bunker can’t seem to catch a break, it seems. Having already been delayed twice, the game is being delayed yet again. This time, however, it’s only for two weeks.
Taking to Frictional Games’ Twitter, Amnesia: The Bunker‘s Creative Lead Fredrik Olsson relayed the news that the game will now release on June 6. The reasoning for the delay is due to “rare crashes” that have occurred during the game’s certification process that have been difficult to identify. As a result, the team needs to get them squashed before release.
The new release date does pose another issue for The Bunker, as it will now be competing against Blizzard’s Diablo IV, which will be releasing the same day.
There is some good news to come out of this, as Frictional is planning to release a demo on Steam on May 22, which will give fans a taste of what to expect once Amnesia: The Bunker finally arrives.
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.
Amnesia: The Bunker is set to release for the Xbox Series, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Torn Banner Studios and Green Man Gaming have announced that their 8-player zombie co-op shooter No More Room In Hell 2 will see an August 11 exit from Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, launching in full. The game will also be launching on the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5, with pre-orders kicking off on July 28 for Xbox Series (with a 20% discount), with launch-day offers available from August 11 with 35% off on Steam and the Epic Games Store, and 20% off on Xbox and PlayStation Stores.
This milestone release delivers a wealth of new content and gameplay overhauls, capping off two years of continuous Early Access refinements. Along with community-driven bug fixes and performance optimisations, 1.0 introduces vital quality-of-life upgrades including overhauled difficulty tiers, match reconnect, an ‘Unstuck’ button, an improved UI and more.
Fans of the permadeath co-op can expect the permanent addition of the action-packed Survival Mode. Originally previewed during the Free Weekend event earlier this year, this deadly new game mode pushes squads to their limits as they defend strategic speaker towers from an ever-growing horde of the undead, buying precious time for civilian evacuations.
Designed to offer a smoother onboarding experience, new tutorial grounds and re-tuned difficulty tiers give first-time players room to learn the ropes. The update also introduces an all-new Solo Mode, providing opportunities for veterans and newcomers alike to master map layouts at their own pace – completely free from the brutal threat of permadeath – before braving the high-stakes co-op progression.
“Reaching 1.0 is a monumental milestone for No More Room in Hell 2,” says Steve Piggott, CEO & Creative Director at Torn Banner Studios. “Throughout Early Access, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with our community to refine, polish, and expand the game into the ultimate high-stakes co-op horror experience. This launch brings the definitive version of the game we always envisioned. We are so excited to finally bring the brutal, 8-player survival nightmare to life, and we can’t wait to see how squads handle the horror when they step into the zone.”
Designed with feature parity at its core, the title’s console debut ensures PlayStation and Xbox players will experience the exact same gameplay systems, survival mechanics, and in-game achievements as PC players. Full cross-play integration unites PC, PlayStation, and Xbox into one shared player pool, delivering faster matchmaking and total freedom to team up on any platform.
“We are incredibly proud to support the debut console launch of No More Room in Hell 2,” says Chris Jones, EVP of Publishing at Green Man Gaming. “Hardcore, tactical horror has traditionally been a PC-dominated space, leaving console players largely underserved when it comes to high-stakes survival. But with this launch, we are thrilled to finally open the quarantine zone to console audiences and offer them a truly uncompromising survival horror challenge.”
