Share

Update 5/12/2023: Amnesia: The Bunker has been delayed once more. The game, which was previously delayed by a week to May 23 is being delayed once more due to unforeseen certification issues; this time by a length of two weeks. Players can finally enter The Bunker on June 6. To make up for the delay, however, we do have news that on May 22, there will be a free demo for Amnesia: The Bunker coming to PC via Steam. You can read the rest of the previously released release update below.

Orignal 1/14/2023: Earlier this week, the renowned developer behind the groundbreaking Amnesia series, Frictional Games, announced the strategic rescheduling of Amnesia: The Bunker. The highly anticipated horror title is now set to release a week after its initial release date. This decision is based on two key factors: allowing the team extra time to polish the game to perfection and strategically avoiding release during a busy week when multiple other games are hitting the market.

Frictional Games state that they understand the importance of providing players with a high-quality gaming experience and that they believe the additional time will ensure the game meets their high standards. Additionally, the revised release date allows players to fully immerse themselves in the Amnesia universe without being overwhelmed by competing game releases such as Nintendo’s opus The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Amnesia: The Bunker will transform the horror survival genre with an all-new emphasis on player freedom and exploration in a semi-open world – more than a decade after it was redefined by Amnesia: TheDark Descent. Set during the First World War, players will explore a French bunker as Henri, a sole-surviving soldier, and attempt to escape the otherwordly Beast that prowls its tunnels and corridors.

Key Features of Amnesia: The Bunker

  • Player Choice: emergent gameplay in a sandbox horror survival experience
  • Unscripted Environment: objects, threats, and resources, change in every playthrough
