Derceto Manor is where we return for our scene, in the upcoming reboot (again) of Alone in the Dark. In the latest teaser shown by publisher THQ Nordic, we get some hints of plot, some talking points from Emily and Edward’s respective voice actors, and we now have the hardware specs for PC.
The new trailer once again leave survival horror fanatics hungry for more, as we take a quick peek at the reimagining of this classic. Actor David Harbour – who voices Edward – talks about his love of games that let you “choose your own adventure,” while Jodie Comer – AKA Emily Hartwood – is impressed by how “fully fleshed out” the characters are.
We also get to hear from Mikael Hedberg, Alone in the Dark‘s writer and director, who some of you will know through his work on Amnesia and SOMA (this is honestly one of the reasons I’m so excited for the game). Hedberg likens the new reimagining to a classic “haunted mansion” story, so it was imperative the team were able to recreate the atmosphere Derceto Manor is known for.
Hardware? I hardly knew her
You can also see the requirements for the PC version over on Steam. A lot of mid-range systems should be okay with running it at minimum specs. You definitely won’t need a current-gen Nvidia or AMD graphics card, that’s for sure.
Alone in the Dark is scheduled to release on March 20, after a delay last year pushed it beyond its originally intended release last October. It was then delayed a second time in order to avoid any Christmas crunch for the team before finally landing on this now-definitely-for-realsies launch date.
For those who want a little bit of nostalgia with their rebooted survival horror, there’s going to be a 1992 filter that brings back the low-poly models of the 1992 original. Because nothing says blood-curdling mystery like pointy shoulders.
