A few days ago, we first heard that THQ Nordic is planning a new game based on the survival horror classic, Alone in the Dark. THQ Nordic acquired the IP back in 2018 and now, the series will be getting rebooted once again.
Leaked screenshots and a retail listing with a full product description tell us most of what we need to know about the game. As pointed out by Okami Games, Alone in the Dark will be getting rebooted again. The new game will feature two protagonists searching for a missing relative at a psychiatric asylum in 1920s USA.
Alone in the Dark reboot screenshots and details have leaked via a store listing.
• 2 protagonists
• Set in the deep south in the 1920s
• Same writer as SOMA and Amnesia.
• 'Psychological horror meets Southern Gothic'
• Find your missing uncle at a psychiatric asylum pic.twitter.com/fRbbnzGJsg— Okami Games (@Okami13_) August 12, 2022
The game is aiming to combine psychological horror with ‘southern gothic' elements, which comes through in the art style we see in the leaked screenshots. The writer behind recent horror hits like SOMA and Amnesia also worked on this game, which should be encouraging for anyone who was worried about this IP's revival.
THQ Nordic is holding its own games showcase later today. Alone in the Dark is expected to be announced officially during the event.

KitGuru Says: If the leak earlier this week didn't convince you, the newly leaked screenshots should be enough to push this out of the ‘rumour' category.
