New Trailer for ‘Alone in the Dark’ Introduces Players to the Inhabitants of Derceto Manor [Video]
With Pieces Interactive set to unleash the remake of Alone in the Dark next month, it was time to give the fans a taste of the madness. Said madness can be found in the new trailer for Alone in the Dark, which not only features actors Jodie Comer and David Harbour chatting about the game, but also introduces players to the colourful inhabitants of Derceto Manor.
“I think what I’m most drawn to is the different characters, because they are so fully fleshed out and so colourful and vibrant,” states Comer. “You really do feel like when Emily meets a new character the world is completely changed.”
Alone in the Dark remake Writer and Director Mikael Hedberg appears in the trailer, referring to Derceto Manor as one of the most parts of the game. “It’s at its very core a haunted mansion story. That’s why we needed to make sure we recreate Derceto again.”
Unlike in the original game, Derceto has human inhabitants, who depending on whether you play as Emily Hartwood or Edward Carnby (Comer and Harbour, respectively), will react differently, and even experience different scenes.
“I love games where there are different endings,” says Harbour. “I love games where you can really choose your own adventure or affect the world, or the world affects you. That and the gameplay certainly are the power of games apart from movies.”
Alone in the Dark comes home to PC via Steam, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5 on March 20. The Digital Deluxe Edition for Alone in the Dark is available for pre-order now.

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.
