After a stretch of teasing and ARG puzzling, Soma builders Frictional Games right now introduced their subsequent game, Amnesia: Rebirth. This autumn they’ll return to the first-person horror sequence that made their identify with a brand new protagonist, a brand new setting, and new awfulness. Have a peek within the announcement trailer beneath.
“Set in the desolate landscape of the Algerian desert, the game will focus on new character Tasi Trianon as she sets out on a harrowing journey through devastation and despair, personal terror and pain, while exploring the limits of human resilience,” Frictional mentioned in their formal announcement.
Creative director Thomas Grip expanded on that on the PlayStation Blog.
“We’ve had to twist expectations, refine old features, and up the ante on everything you’ve seen from us,” he mentioned. “As you might expect from a Frictional game, we’re not simply going for a carnival attraction of jumpscares. Amnesia: Rebirth is an emotionally harrowing journey — something different, something less predictable. It will test you in ways you haven’t experienced before, and will make you think about the things that really scare you.”
Amnesia: Rebirth is because of launch in autumn 2020. See its website and Steam page for extra. It’ll be on PlayStation four too.
Though Amnesia: The Dark Descent was Frictional’s fourth game, following the Penumbra sequence, the 2010 spooker is the one which made them. They known as on Dear Esther studio Thechineseroom to make a follow-up, 2013’s Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs, whereas they themselves labored on the undersea horrors of Soma. Our former John (RPS in peace) will let you know The Dark Descent is still flipping terrifying.
I do hope they’re planning to present Amnesia: Rebirth a Safe Mode like Soma, for fool infants who get pleasure from a spot of spooking however get a bit too labored up when monsters eat their face. Not me. That’s not I need a Safe Mode. I’d solely use it to… take images? Yes, that’s it. Definitely to not cease me begging each final saint I do know for defense after I hear footsteps round a nook. That’s not me, baybee.
