THQ Nordic's new Alone in the Dark leaks ahead of tonight's showcase

It was already in the air for a few days, and now we have the confirmation: after acquiring the horror franchise in 2018, THQ Nordic is finally ready to reveal the new Alone in the Dark during the THQ Nordic Showcase that will take place tonight at 21:00, and that we remind you you can follow with us on our Twitch channel.

The confirmation comes through the leak of some images, including the cover, and the first details of the game; we discover that the title is made by the Swedish Pieces Interactive, so far authors of the expansions for the isometric hack'n'slash titan quest series, and that the psychological horror story is written by the same author of acclaimed titles such as SOMA and Amnesia, Mikael Hedberg. The game will allow us to choose whether to impersonate one of the two protagonists, a man and a woman.

It is also impossible not to notice the similarity of the protagonist with Ronan O'Connor, the protagonist of the 2014 adventure Murdered: Soul Suspect, obviously a fortuitous coincidence.

Here are the information and images leaked, waiting for the announcement tonight.


Psychological horror and Southern Gothic meet in this reimagining of the survival-horror classic Alone in the Dark. This love letter to the cult game of the 90s will make you live a story as sinister as it is memorable through the eyes of one of the two protagonists.

As Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood, explore the various settings, fight monsters, solve puzzles and discover the terrible truth about Derceto's mansion.

In the deep south of the United States, in the 20s, Emily Hartwood's uncle disappears. Accompanied by private detective Edward Carnby, the girl goes in search of her in the villa of Derceto, a psychiatric asylum where she wanders... something. You will meet strange occupiers, nightmarish kingdoms, dangerous monsters and lift the veil on an evil conspiracy. At the confluence of reality, mystery and madness, the adventure that awaits you can undermine your certainties. Who will you trust, what will you believe and what will you do next?

  • Explore Derceto's villa in this reimagining of Alone in the Dark, a true love letter to the '90s horror classic.
  • Go back to the origins of psychological horror and experience an atmospheric adventure worthy of the game that founded the genre.
  • Immerse yourself in a world punctuated by sounds that will give you goosebumps, on a jazz background as memorable as it is hypnotic.
  • Feel the adrenaline rush as you desperately try to survive in a world where reality begins to collapse, evil lurks in every shadow, and ammunition is scarce.
  • Experience this nightmare from the perspective of Emily Hartwood or Edward Carnby and discover the dark secrets of a Gothic mansion.
  • Go beyond the imaginable, in a complex psychological story written by cult screenwriter Mikael Hedberg, author of SOMA and Amnesia.
