The remake of Alone in the Dark will be released around three months later than anticipated, publisher THQ Nordic announced today. The reason is quite simple: avoiding the crazy release schedule of October 2023. As such, the game will now launch on January 16th, 2024.
Here's the press release shared by THQ Nordic:
Horror games thrive on the delicate balance of tension, exploiting our vulnerability and the eerie embrace of solitude. Envision yourself traversing a dimly lit house in the dead of night, where faint whispers and unidentifiable noises send shivers down your spine. Now, picture this unsettling scenario not alone, but accompanied by a group of 28 intriguing individuals. The fear factor dwindles, doesn't it? Hence, the anticipated release of Alone in the Dark will gracefully step away from the chaotic October 2023 launch window.
Reasons
Our intention is to avoid competing with the wake of Alan's epic release and to evade the dazzling skyline of cities adorned by the graceful swings of Spider-Man. We aim to truly remain as Alone in the Dark as possible. To honor this, the spine-chilling horror game has been rescheduled to unveil its horrors on January 16th, 2024. This extension will serve a dual purpose: not only will it permit us to meticulously perfect the gaming experience, but it will also grant us the opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in the remarkable releases of October.
This isn't the first delay explicitly due to the release schedule: Remedy also shifted the launch date of Alan Wake II, though in that case, it was only moved two weeks later than originally planned.
October still remains very busy thanks to the following confirmed releases: The Lamplighters League, Assassin's Creed Mirage, Detective Pikachu Returns, Forza Motorsport, Lords of the Fallen, Sonic Superstars, Endless Dungeon, Gangs of Sherwood, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Cities: Skylines II, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, Ghostrunner 2, Alan Wake II, Jusant, and Total War: Pharaoh.
The Alone in the Dark remake is in development at Pieces Interactive for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. It will feature dual protagonists played by renowned actors David Harbour and Jodie Comer.

THQ Nordic has announced it's delaying promising PS5 horror title Alone in the Dark to 16th January 2024 to avoid the extremely busy release schedule of October.

The scariest thing to video game developers isn’t ghosts or monsters, as the new Alone in the Dark game has been pushed to 2024, partly to avoid an incredibly busy October gaming season, where it would have competed with Alan Wake 2 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. This is a wise decision, considering how packed 2023 has been as a whole, especially as Alone in the Dark also needs extra polish time.
Fans looking forward to Alone on the Dark are in for a quiet Halloween after the game has been delayed from its original October release date and is now expected in January.
