‘Alone in the Dark' reboot confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC<p>There have been rumblings for a while that a remake of
Alone in the Dark was in the works and
THQ Nordic confirmed at
its summer showcase that the rumors are (sort of) true. It’s bringing a “reimagining” of the 1992 classic to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC, though didn't reveal when to expect it.</p><p>The Lovecraftian original is widely considered the first 3D survival horror game (it earned a Guinness World Record stating as much), but there hasn't been an Alone in the Dark title
since 2015. This will also be THQ Nordic's first entry since it bought the series from Atari in 2018.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="f85bdb5473ca4d2198e3d545f5a647e4"><div style="left:0;width:100%;height:0;position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;"><iframe src="

Soma and
Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and creature designs from long-term Guillermo del Toro collaborator Guy Davis. The game will include characters, places and themes from the ’90s trilogy. It's still set in the American South in the 1920s and features the first game's protagonists, Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby, as playable characters. However, THQ Nordic
says all the enemies will be brand new.</p><p>Beyond
Alone in the Dark, the publisher had plenty more to show off during the stream, such as fresh looks at
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake,
Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed and
AEW Fight Forever. Other new reveals included real-time strategy game
Tempest Rising; an open-world arcade racer called
Wreckreation; and
Space for Sale, in which you build homes on procedurally generated planets and sell them to alien clients.</p><div id="94ce25de426343e6a6503214630ba7f3"><div style="left:0;width:100%;height:0;position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;"><iframe src="
