THQ Nordic's Alone in the Dark remake will avoid competing with Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake 2 by releasing in January 2024 instead of this October.
A remake of the influential horror game classic Alone in the Dark was supposed to come out in October, but THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive just delayed the game until January 16, 2024. The reason? Because this October is just too packed with game releases.
The original Alone in the Dark came out on PC in 1992 and pioneered the 3D survival horror game genre. Its fixed camera angles and puzzle focus clearly helped inspire the original Resident Evil, which has gone on to become an even more successful horror franchise. While Alone in the Dark received a string of bad games and then remained dormant for some time, franchise owner THQ Nordic decided to take a page out of Capcom’s playbook and create a remake that plays from a third-person perspective.

To honor this, the spine-chilling horror game has been rescheduled to unveil its horrors on January 16, 2024.
As such, it makes sense that it’d shift the game’s release to a place where it has a better chance for success, rather than just days after the likes of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake 2. Alone in the Dark launches for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on January 16, 2024. If you do want to try a bit of the game before then, a free Prologue for the game is already available across all of those same platforms.
