‘Alone in the Dark’ Stacks up the Accolades in New Trailer [Watch]
Just in case you haven’t picked up Alone in the Dark yet, Pieces Interactive and THQ Nordic have released a new Accolades trailer for the reimagining of the cult classic “that set the benchmark for an entire genre.” Mixed in amongst the quotes and scores are various clips and quips from Alone in the Dark‘s eclectic cast of characters, as well as scenes of the various Eldritch horrors Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood face throughout the game.
And if the accolades trailer still hasn’t convinced you to plunk your cash down for Alone in the Dark, you can also check out the free Prologue, which is still very much available.
A reimagining of the 1992 cult classic, Alone in the Dark (which our own Harrison Abbott says you should definitely check out “if you have an affinity for classic survival horror”) 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.
Alone in the Dark is available on PC via Steam, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5.

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.
