THQ Nordic first teased us with the Alone in the Dark reboot back in August 2022 and now it has graced us with a serious deep dive, starting with a bombshell reveal of the main Alone in the Dark cast, showcasing the reimagined Derceto Mansion, gameplay, story details and a confirmed release date.

It’s been an awfully long time since the original wowed nascent PC gamers in 1992 with its revolutionary 3D graphics and dread-inducing scares. Time has not necessarily been kind to the visuals so it’s great to see an old familiar haunt and the characters with modern rendering.

If you can’t wait for Alone in the Dark to get under your skin, then be sure to find out all you can before release. Read on for everything you need to know about Alone in the Dark.

When is the Alone in the Dark release date?

Alone in the Dark will be released on 25th October 2023. This is a whole 31 years after the original release, when a certain number of you reading this wouldn’t even have been born yet.

Alone in the Dark will also be competing for space with fellow Americana horror Alan Wake 2 and there are bound to be more titles releasing in the spookiest calendar month.

From what we’ve seen so far though, we think it’s safe to say both absolutely have their place and we can’t wait to get to play them later this year.

Is there an Alone in the Dark demo?

Yes, there is an Alone in the Dark demo! The developers are calling it a 'playable prologue' and it's actually available to try out right now.

Wondering how to get the demo? Simply search for the game on your PC (via Steam) or through the built-in store on your PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.

You should see the demo, called 'Grace', as an option to download on the game's main product page. The demo has a picture of a young girl as its thumbnail, if that helps you find it!

It lasts for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and should give us a glimpse of what to expect later this year.
