In an interview with the scriptwriter and gamer -director Mikael Hedberg, which he gave during the Fearfest 2023 festival, was told about the Alone In The Dark project, which reinsuring the classic plot of 1992.

In an interview, the question raises how to turn to old fans remaining since then, as well as young fans who have not grown in a classical game. Instead of summing up all previous games, the developers decided to try something new, but Hedberg does not want to call it a reboot.

Hedberg wants to find those parts that he liked in the classic, and make something new out of them, paying tribute to the old games, paying special attention to the first three games. He also stated that he remembers the sensations from the game Alone in the Dark, and that he wants to honor these sensations, and not try to recreate them in a new game.

According to Mikael, the game will tell a completely new story, and he hopes that the new players will be intrigued by learning more about the world of Alone in the Dark during the game.

Then he talked about working with the actors of the game, including Jody Comer and David Harbor, praising them for professionalism, which inspired him very much.

Since he is already familiar with David Harbor in the role of a police officer in "Strange deeds", Hedberg considered it appropriate to imagine him in the game as a private detective, noting that he brought a lot of fun to this role and "adventurous, as if reluctant energy of the hero". As planned, these two characters should become a duet inspired by Noir style films, with a large number of congestion.

After he heard the interpretation of Jody Comer’s replicas, which initially had to be somewhat frivolous and funny, he noticed that her approach was much more serious, which seemed very interesting to him and gave the character to the character, as it plays in the way of sadness and tragedy, Which, according to Michael Hedberg, he prefers for horror stories, as an example he calls Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

The release date of Alone in the Dark was postponed to January 16, 2024. The game will be released on the PlaySstation 4, Windows and Xbox Series X | S platforms.
