The horrifying world of Frictional Games’ Amnesia is about to expand: a sequel, Amnesia: Rebirth, will release this fall. Ten years ago, Amnesia: The Dark Descent dropped players into a survival horror adventure that put players in the role of Daniel, a man who wakes up in a strange castle with no memory of who he is or why he’s there. He must traverse through dark rooms and hallways, all the while being hunted by a shadow.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent received praise for its atmosphere. The title puts players directly in the shoes of the protagonist via a first-person point of view. It used object interaction as gameplay, allowing Daniel to interact directly with objects, as well as to solve puzzles. It also challenged players to manage Daniel’s sanity, which would drop when he encountered darkness for too long or witnessed unsettling events (light sources would help regain sanity). An indirect sequel followed in 2013, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, which is set in an alternative history of the original game.

Since the release of A Machine for Pigs, though, fans have clamored for more of Amnesia’s terrifying world. Frictional first responded to that demand by offering a tease in late 2019 of its next game, followed by a weird Augmented Reality Game (ARG) in January. Now, the studio has officially announced a direct sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent titled Amnesia: Rebirth, which will release in fall 2020 on PC and PlayStation 4. According to a press release, Rebirth will follow a new character, Tasi Trianon, as she navigates the Algerian desert on a “harrowing journey through devastation and despair, personal terror and pain, while exploring the limits of human resilience.”

Frictional Games has made a name for itself with its spooky and atmospheric titles. Its first, Penumbra: Overture, drew inspiration from horror titles such as Silent Hill and resulted in both an expansion and a sequel. The company continued to please horror game fans with Amnesia, and later SOMA, which took players to an abandoned underwater research facility, delving into the kind of horror that relates to the human concept of self.

It’s the Amnesia games, though, that many players will refer to when it comes to scaring their socks off. With gameplay involved mostly around what the player sees and hears, these games set up a situation where it almost feels as if the shadow is breathing down the protagonist’s neck or just hiding around the next corner. True horror buffs know that it is often the unseen that offers up the most horror thrills, and Frictional knows how to use that to significant effect. Amnesia: Rebirth should offer the same kind of “pitiless horror” that Frictional does so well.
