Alone In The Dark

The Alone In The Dark Reboot Has Leaked Alongside First Screenshots And Box Art

A horror classic returns!

THQ Nordic has its showcase tomorrow morning and rumours started swirling earlier this week that an Alone In The Dark reboot was set to be revealed. This comes after THQ Nordic acquired the rights a few years ago.

Ahead of the expected announcement, information about the reboot, as well as the box art and also several screenshots were posted on Belgian retailer Smartoys, before being posted on Resetera.

It’s said that the game will take place in the 1920s in the deep south of the United States and pay homage to the classic game that originated in the 90s. You’ll be fighting monsters, solving puzzles and uncovering a truth. Similar to that of Resident Evil 2, you will play as two characters, Edward Carnby and Emily Hardwood, who will both have seperate campaigns which overlap at certain points in the game.

The first screenshots look quite good and you can see them below.

The THQ Nordic Showcase takes place tomorrow morning at 5am AEST.
