Alone in the Dark Remake: A Horror Classic Reimagined by Pieces Interactive
Since 1992, Pieces Interactive has delivered heart-stopping horror experiences to gamers through its beloved “Alone in the Dark” series. Now, the studio is giving fans a fresh take on this iconic game with an all-new remake.
A Horror Legacy: Alone in the Dark Series
With six installments to date, this popular horror series by Pieces Interactive typically follows protagonist Edward Carnby as he investigates eerie haunted houses or villages inhabited by undead monsters. The original game was groundbreaking, utilizing 3D graphics when most games relied on 2D technology.
A New Dawn for Alone in the Dark
The upcoming remake of the first game is set to launch on March 20, 2024. While it’s sure to evoke nostalgia for long-time fans, the updated mechanics and graphics will undoubtedly attract newcomers as well.
System Requirements
Unlike the original, which was only available on PC and Mac, the Alone in the Dark remake is coming to multiple platforms: Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
Maturing a Classic
A disappointing previous installment led Pieces Interactive to reconsider their approach for the Alone in the Dark series. The successful Resident Evil 2 remake in 2019 served as inspiration for the team to breathe new life into the original game.
Mature Content Warning
Although there is no official rating yet, the Alone in the Dark remake is expected to be rated M for Mature due to mature themes, such as self-harm and suicide.
Gameplay and Graphics
In this third-person shooter, the player takes on the perspective of Edward Carnby as he battles supernatural enemies from an over-the-shoulder perspective. This style closely resembles that of the Resident Evil series.
A Solo Journey
Unlike many multiplayer-focused games, Alone in the Dark is best experienced as a single-player game. The suspense and isolation of a horror experience are key elements that make this remake an immersive adventure.
