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.

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.
