Frictional Games has announced that it is rebooting the Amnesia horror series with the announcement of Amnesia: The Bunker. The new game is currently in development and the team is shooting for a 2023 release date. As of this writing, The Bunker is being prepped for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Frictional sent out a brief teaser trailer that showcases the familiar first-person perspective with dark environments and a weak flashlight as a companion. Add in bloodstains, crepy ambient sounds, and a jump scare or two, and you have the makings of a game sure to please any horror fan.
Developers have promised that The Bunker will bring new elements into the game including “emergent gameplay” and sandbox elements. Players are charged with exploring an abandoned WWI bunker with nothing but a revolver and a flashlight. Unfortunately, players are hunted by an otherworldly creature intent on taking them out. Players will need to utilize cleverness, courage, and the ability to keep cool under pressure to make quick decisions. According to the developers, there are multiple solutions to every task, puzzle, and obstacle in the game.
In a semi-open world, The Bunker encourages the player to explore and experiment. They’ll need to use wits and whatever tools are at their disposal to overcome the looming horrors. Players will feel a stressful amount of power in their hands. Every decision will change the outcome of how the game responds as a consequence of the choices made. This new twist in gameplay adds new depths and constant tension to the game, forcing players to create new strategic paths in every playthrough.
Features include:
- Player choice
- Unscripted environment
- Adaptive horrid threats
- Tactile immersion
- Absorbing, yet terrifying, tale
- Engrossing atmosphere and tension
