The Alone in the Dark series announced a reimagining this year, but the developers at THQ Nordic decided to push the game back to January 2024 due to a staggering amount of releases for October 2023.
It has been eight long years since fans were treated to a new entry in the Alone in the Dark series, so it was fitting for THQ Nordic to announce the title for the spooky month of October 2023. However, due to the massive number of releases this October, THQ Nordic has chosen to delay Alone in the Dark until January 2024 to avoid the competition it faces in October. The news comes straight from the official Alone in the Dark X (formerly Twitter) account, and the Tweet can be seen below.
October is a big month for gaming, with new entries in many popular franchises hitting the shelves this spooky season. Below is a list of all the major releases coming to gamers this October (aside from Alone in the Dark, of course).
