An announcement trailer for the game showed off a combination of cutscene footage as well as gameplay elements. From the footage shown, the game has a visual and gameplay design similar to the Resident Evil reboot.

Then, on May 26, 2023, THQ released a spotlight on Alone in the Dark, detailing more about the game’s story, who will be part of the voice cast, and the highly anticipated release date. You can watch it below.

Alone in the Dark voice cast

As revealed in the spotlight trailer, Alone in the Dark will have a star-studded voice cast, featuring actors, David Harbor (Stranger Things) and Jodie Comer (BBC’s Killing Eve).

They will star as the two playable protagonists known as Edward (the detective) and Emily (the niece looking for her uncle).

Alone in the Dark reboot storyline

The Alone in the Dark reboot will take place in the same location as the first three games, Derceto Mansion. And while it is being labeled as a reboot, the game will not directly adapt the first three games but instead, draw heavily from them.

It will include the original protagonists Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood and is set to take place in the deep south of America in the 1920s. At the beginning of the game, players will choose one of the characters to play as while the other will still feature in the game. 

It has been reported that the two will cross paths during the game but both will offer up unique playthroughs and campaigns with separate cutscenes. As a result, the game will likely have great replay value. It will include monsters, puzzles, and a big truth that will need to be uncovered throughout the campaign. 

It will be a deep horror-survival experience where players will have limited supplies and will be required to backtrack during sections of the game.

What platforms will Alone in the Dark be on?

The game has been confirmed to be coming to Playstation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. There has been no news on whether it will be released on Playstation 4 or the Xbox One.
