Survival horror game Alone in the Dark has been delayed for a second time, to help developer Pieces Interactive avoid having to crunch on the game over the Christmas period.
In a press release, Pieces and publisher THQ Nordic suggested that with a planned release date in January, "the Christmas season would have been filled with stress" for the developers. Stating that "the well-being of the teams is a top priority, and both companies want to avoid any potential crunch over the Christmas holidays," the release confirmed that the new release date is set for March 20, 2024.
The release also mentions a desire "to exceed the expectations" of the community, and praises the "outstanding performances" of the game's stars - Stranger Things' David Harbour and Killing Eve's Jodie Comer.
Originally planned to launch in October 2023, the game was initially delayed a month before that date when the developers said that there were simply too many good games coming out around that time. In their defense, juggernaut games like Alan Wake 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 moved their release dates to dodge games like Starfield and Marvel's Spider-Man. Those adjustment put Remedy's own survival horror title - firmly in contention for Game of the Year awards - directly in line with that initial Alone in the Dark. That kind of competition isn't great for a smaller studio, suggesting that the first delay was a sensible decision.

It just seems that no one at any of the corporations supposedly involved—Sony, Disney, and Embracer Group—wants to talk about it ever since trouble cropped up at the remake's original developer Aspyr.

THQ Nordic is setting out to recapture the haunting and inquisitive gameplay of the 1992 game. The 2024 remake staring David Harbour and Jodie Comer has even gained the admiration and approval of the series creator, Frédérick Raynal, an excellent sign for survival horror fans.
The original Alone in the Dark was revolutionary, for the time. Skeptical as I am about attempts to play on classic stories and high-profile names, I recently spent time with Pieces Interactive and THQ Nordic's upcoming reboot of the series, one that revisits the setting of the 1992 game that practically invented survival horror. To my pleasure, I found that, true to their word, it wasn't an attempt to recreate or reboot the first game. Instead, it's something different. It's a new and fascinating story drawing on the same elements that I love: cosmic horror, detective fiction, psychological horror, and the good old Southern Gothic.
