‘Alone in the Dark’ Pushed to January 16, 2024 Release
With the crammed lineup for October releases, you knew that something had to give. Unfortunately for Alone in the Dark fans, that something is the game’s release date. Originally set for October 25, THQ Nordic has elected to push the game’s release date to next year. January 16th, 2024, to be exact.
As you might guess, the reasoning for the shift in release is due to “Alan’s epic release and to evade the dazzling skyline of cities adorned by the graceful swings of Spider-Man”, as the press release put it. “We aim to truly remain as Alone in the Dark as possible. To honor this, the spine-chilling horror game has been rescheduled to unveil its horrors on January 16th, 2024. This extension will serve a dual purpose: not only will it permit us to meticulously perfect the gaming experience, but it will also grant us the opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in the remarkable releases of October.”
It’s an obvious bummer, to be sure. But as THQ Nordic alluded to, with a crowded October release schedule, it’s going to be a tough time vying for gamers’ attentions. And giving an anticipated release like this the attention it deserves is paramount.
Alone in the Dark is currently in development for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. Also, do check out the “Grace in the Dark” demo for PC and consoles to tide you over.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
