January is usually a lean month for high-profile new releases on the gaming calendar, and it’s about to get even drier as Alone in the Dark has been delayed to March 20. Originally scheduled to launch next month, THQ Nordic confirmed the delay for a good reason. As the holiday season fast approaches and everyone looks to catch their breath, developer Pieces Interactive will be looking to avoid having to crunch on the game to reach the initial January 16 deadline.

“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,” THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive wrote in a press release. “Therefore, THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive have decided to give Alone in the Dark a new release date: March 20, 2024. The well-being of the teams is a top priority, and both companies want to avoid any potential crunch over the Christmas holidays.” Come from Sports betting site VPbet
