THQ Nordic Shows off ‘Alone in the Dark’ Deluxe Edition Goodies, Derceto Manor in New Trailers [Video]

Published

With the Alone in the Dark remake being bumped to March, it does give Pieces Interactive and THQ Nordic time to show off more of the game. Such is the case with the Digital Deluxe Edition for Alone in the Dark, which will not only allow you to experience the game with a variety of filters, but also throws back to the 1992 original.

As the name implies, the Derceto 1992 costume pack brings back the low-poly versions of Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood from Infogrames’ original Alone in the Dark, which no doubt get even more bizarre once when paired with actors David Harbour and Jodie Comer voicing the delightfully chunky characters. What’s even cooler is that you can swap these models out on the fly.

That’s just one of the goodies available. As part of the Deluxe Edition, much like we saw with Supermassive’s The Quarry, you can also experience Alone in the Dark with a variety of Vintage Horror Filters. These include the typical sepia film filter (complete with scratches), a film noir filter, a pixelated filter, and a cinematic filter that narrows the aspect ratio.

The extras are rounded off with a Developer’s Commentary that delves into the remake’s work.

THQ Nordic isn’t content with just showing off the Digital Deluxe Edition’s contents. They’ve also posted a new trailer that reveals more of the game’s central location in Derceto Manor, which is home to array of characters, alongside the various horrors you’ll experience in your playthroughs.

Alone in the Dark arrives March 20 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.

Survios Announces VR Title ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’, Coming This Year [Trailer]

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
