‘Alone in the Dark’ Now Available on PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Just in case you missed it, Pieces Interactive and THQ Nordic have unleashed the return of the granddaddy of Survival Horror today with Alone in the Dark. Your journey into Lovecraftian horror and madness begins on PC via Steam, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5. Order now!
A reimagining of the 1992 Infogrames classic, Alone in the Dark is set in the gothic American south in the 1920’s, in the haunting Derceto Manor, where players take on the roles of Emily Hardwood and Edward Carnby, portrayed by Jodie Comer (FreeGuy, Killing Eve) and David Harbour (Stranger Things, Hellboy). Together, they must unravel the disappearance of Emily’s uncle, delving deep into the secrets that shroud the manor’s dark past. Along with solving puzzles, you’ll have to confront the terrifying entities that inhabit the manor along the way to uncover the truth.
In case you need further convincing, you can check out Harrison’s take on Alone in the Dark. Harrison remarks that apart from some minor issues, the reimagining “clearly understands and respects its heritage”, and is one that you should definitely check out “if you have an affinity for classic survival horror.”
And yes, if you hardcore fans haven’t already done so, you can pick up the Digital Deluxe Edition of Alone in the Dark. 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.
