Fails to live up to others in the genre this franchise helped to create.

The Alone in the Dark reboot was just released today and it seems like the reviews have placed it firmly in the realm of being merely ok but with some serious shortcomings.

A re-imagining of the original trilogy is currently in development.

As part of today's THQ Nordic showcase event, the publisher announced a new and re-imagined release of Alone in the Dark. THQ Nordic says that this will be a re-imagination of the original trilogy that "aims to scare you to the bone."

From my understanding, this release will incorporate some characters and locations that are familiar to the fans, but it will be an entirely new story with several...

It should be noted that fans of the older games in the series may be a bit disappointed in what was shown off here. That's also not to mention how you can play the game with up to four people at a time.

Back in 2008, Atari published Alone in the Dark, a reboot of their popular horror franchise. It did not really fair too well with reviewers or fans and the reboot never really took off.

Fast-forward to 2014 and Atari is again announcing they are going to reboot the franchise... again.
