‘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.
We’ll be waiting a little while longer for developer Studio Cut to Bits’ gothic Metroidvania Venture to the Vile. Originally slated to launch on PC via Steam on May 7, the game has now been pushed a couple of weeks to May 22. The PlayStation release of Venture to the Vile is still expected later this year.
In a press release, Venture to the Vile producer Masao Kobayashi explains the decision to delay the release, stating that while Studio Cut to Bits is made up of industry veterans, this is the first time that the team has released a game as indie developers. As such, the team encountered a few hurdles leading up to the original release date.
“We all love Venture to the Vile and want to make sure we are delivering the best possible game we can for our players. For this reason, we have decided to delay our game by two weeks. I’m sorry to those who have been anticipating our game but I assure you it is going to be worth the wait.”
Venture to the Vile centres on the town of Rainybrook, where an unknown darkness is taking over, transforming anything and anyone it touches. Fortunately for you, you seem to be unaffected by this presence. However, your friend Ella is nowhere to be seen. You must brave the horrors and find her.
