New Trailer for ‘Alone in the Dark’ Shows off New Unedited Gameplay [Watch]
Given how awesome Alan Wake II is, THQ Nordic was right to delay the release of Alone in the Dark. Plus, it gave them another excuse to tease fans with a new eight-minute gameplay trailer for the upcoming reimagining. Titled “Looking for Jeremy”, the new Alone in the Dark trailer features plenty of “unedited” gameplay scenes, as well as a peek at the various enemies and environments Emily Hartwood and private investigator Edward Carnby will face.
The description for the gameplay trailer reads: “After receiving a mysterious letter, Emily and Private Investigator Edward are arriving at the Derceto Manor to uncover unexplainable happenings and to find Jeremy! Who can you trust, what will you believe, and what will you do next?”
A love letter to the ground-breaking original, Alone in the Dark allows players to experience the haunting story by Mikael Hedberg (SOMA, Amnesia: The Dark Descent) through the eyes of one of the two protagonists: play as Edward Carnby, portrayed by David Harbour (Stranger Things, Hellboy), or Emily Hartwood, portrayed by Jodie Comer (Free Guy, Killing Eve) in this reimagined classic survival horror game, where psychological horror meets southern gothic. Explore your surroundings, battle monsters, solve puzzles, and uncover the unsettling truth of Derceto Manor.
Alone in the Dark will arrive January 16th, 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
