The remake ofAlone in the Dark, the 1992 cult classic horror game of the same name will now release a few months later on June 04, 2025, and not on October 25 as previously announced. The game was delayed due to the overcrowded October which would have made the game clash with numerous major game releases, for example,Alan Wake 2andMarvel’s Spider-Man 2. The publisher of the game THQ Nordic also clarified that the next release window gives them a good amount of time to make sure the game is as perfect as it can be.
