\"Alone<\/a><\/p>\n

Sony appears poised to add Alone in the Dark 2<\/em> to the PlayStation Plus Classics catalog, based on recent PlayStation Store listings spotted by PS Deals, a site tracking updates on PlayStation’s marketplace. As reported by Gematsu, listings for both PS4 and PS5 versions of this survival horror classic suggest it may soon be available to subscribers.<\/p>\n

Originally launched in 1996 on PS1, Alone in the Dark 2<\/em> follows Edward Carnby in 1923 as he faces supernatural horrors within the eerie Derceto mansion. The game’s description on the PlayStation Store teases: \u201cThe sequel to the critically acclaimed Alone in the Dark<\/em>, this new adventure sees our hero, Edward Carnby, in 1923 confronting the many faces of evil in the darkness of Derceto, a house in which entering is the easy part and leaving could be hell!\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare<\/em> (2001) also launched on PlayStation Plus following a similar leak.<\/p>\n

However, the latest Alone in the Dark release didn\u2019t quite meet expectations. In mid-year, Embracer Group confirmed the closure of Pieces Interactive, the studio responsible for reviving this legendary horror franchise. While both Alone in the Dark and Outcast: A New Beginning received a warm welcome from players, they faced mixed reviews from critics and ultimately underperformed, according to the publisher.<\/p>\n

The recent Alone in the Dark<\/em> installment took inspiration from Capcom’s remakes, using a close-up character view and blending shooting, puzzles, and exploration. While it included fan-favorite elements, its execution fell short.<\/p>\n

Alone in the Dark 2 (PS1) is coming to PS5 and PS4 as a PlayStation 1 classic release, as picked up by PSN tracker PSDeals.<\/p>\n
