Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Pieces Interactive have announced that the upcoming survival horror reboot Alone in the Dark has been delayed from its initial October 25 to January 16, 2024 “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.” Alone in the Dark will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam and GOG.The full message from THQ Nordic regarding the delay via a press release:“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 16, 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.”
