THQ Nordic announced that Alone in the Dark remake has been delayed again. Originally set for a January release, the release has now been pushed back to March 20, 2024.
The reason Alone in the Dark has been delayed is to avoid crunch. Due to the holidays, developers at Pieces Interactive would have had to work long hours to get the game completed ahead of their Christmas break. With a new March release date, the team now has an extra two months to polish the game. The delay will also allow them to take more time off over the holiday period.
This is the second time Alone in the Dark has been delayed. Originally set for an October 2023 release, the game was pushed back to January 2024. At the time, THQ Nordic cited a busy release window as part of their decision. However, with this latest delay, it suggests the game was not as close to completion as they would have liked.
Alone in the Dark is a remake of the 1992 survival horror classic originally released for MS-DOS PCs. Like the original, it features Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood, two characters investigating strange happenings at the Derceto Manor. The remake will feature a reimagining of the story and will feature David Harbour and Jodie Comer as Edward and Emily respectively.
Alone in the Dark will release on March 20, 2024 for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
