Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Pieces Interactive have delayed Alone in the Dark from its previously planned January 16, 2024 release date to March 20. It will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and GOG.

Here is the full note from THQ Nordic on the delay:

The year is coming to an end, and the Christmas Holidays are upon us. However, until today, it didn’t seem that way for Pieces Interactive, the team developing our upcoming survival horror game, Alone in the Dark. With our initially planned release date in January 2024, the Christmas season would have been filled with stress and anything but a jolly time for them.
Therefore, THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive have decided to give Alone in the Dark a new release date: March 20th, 2024.
The well-being of the teams is a top priority, and both companies want to avoid any potential crunch over the Christmas holidays. Furthermore, THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive want to ensure that the game not only meets but exceeds the expectations of the community, especially with the outstanding performances of Hollywood stars David and Jodie as the main protagonists.
We understand that many people are eagerly awaiting the release, but your patience will be rewarded. We are thrilled to scare the living daylights out of you on March 20, 2024!

A shame, but understandable. I'm just so excited for this I'd rather it release later than in a shit state.

Day one, son.

Not the biggest delay, but ah well. Was looking forward to this.

FYI, there's a small demo for the game on XBL/PSN/Steam.

 

[Flabagast]

That’s ok, still day one

 

[Dazraell]

I actually like the way they phrased it. If this was really because Pieces needed extra time and publisher didn't wanted to have them crunching last minute during holidays, it's definitely a right call

The game looks a bit rough on gameplays but has some potential so fingers crossed it will turn out alright

 

[Denton]

Good decision

Cool!

Cool
Just in time to get its ass kicked by the Silent Hill 2 remake

Here's hoping it's not a dumpster fire.

 

[balls of snow]

Its fine. Late Jan to Feb is packed to the brim already.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Straight to GP

I find your faith in Blooper Team endearing, but we'll see. So far I'm tempering my expectations.

Here's hoping it's not a dumpster fire.

After playing the prologue, I think it's likely to be a solid 7-ish type of game that may end up being considered underrated or a hidden gem years later.

 

[Bartski]

It will be horrible. Day one.
