The next title in the Amnesia franchise is here as we now have official word that Amnesia: Rebirth is the thing that has been teased by the developer

It has been a long bit of time since we saw a new title in this franchise and now we have the announcement that Amnesia: Rebirth is going to be a real thing here. This would be the project that Frictional Games has been teasing for a short while now. Maybe you saw those little bits here and there and maybe you did not. Nonetheless, here we go with the next Amnesia getting the full announcement and poised to hit the PS4 and PC this Fall. Yet another title that will be hitting right around the console shifts for the year, but it is what it is. Let us not look a gift horse in the moth on this one.

The details are a bit sparse on how the gameplay of Amnesia: Rebirth will actually flow, but we do have a nice trailer to look at and some screenshots to go along with that. All of which makes the game look extremely dark. Not just in the content of the story and all, but also in terms of the actual visuals. It does seem to line up with the setting and all that has been announced in Amnesia: Rebirth here, but it could lead to many of us trying to turn up the brightness on our systems. That could just be me, though. Have a look down below to see it all for yourself.

Amnesia: Rebirth —

Ten years ago Amnesia: The Dark Descent heralded a new generation of horror. Five years ago, SOMA took us to fresh depths of terror. Now, steel yourself for the next nightmare as we at Frictional Games prepare to release Amnesia: Rebirth this autumn. A new story set in the world of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Rebirth represents yet another evolutionary leap for Frictional Games, challenging players to remain calm in the face of unimaginable terror.

Get a glimpse of what’s to come in today’s announcement trailer and first in-game images.

Amnesia: Rebirth is a new descent into darkness in the iconic Amnesia series. 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.

You can’t let out a breath. The creature is only inches away. Its sole purpose – to feed off your terror. And so you crouch in the dark, trying to stop the fear rising, trying to silence what lies within you.

Retracing Tasi’s journey and pulling together the fragments of a shattered past will be the only chance to survive the pitiless horror that threatens to devour you. Time is against you. Still, you must continue, step by step, knowing that if you fail you will lose everything.

Amnesia: Rebirth is scheduled for release in autumn 2020 on PC and PlayStation 4. Wishlist on Steam in order to follow along with the updates as they are released.

Did you suspect that it was a new Amnesia title that Frictional was teasing or did you think it was something else? Are you surprised it is not a sequel to SOMA after its well reception? Do you agree with how dark much of the game looks here or do I need to go get my eyes tested for other reasons? Let us all know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all as you wish. When we have more to share for Amnesia: Rebirth, you will see it up on the site here. Just be sure to keep checking in for all of that and much more.
