Available from March 20th on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series reproduce the features of David Harbor and Jodie Comeralso using volumetric lights and a predetermined global lighting system in order to give certain environments a peculiar atmosphere.
On PS5 and Xbox Series two different graphics modes: one aiming for 4K and 30 fps, the other aiming for 1440p at 60 fps. In both cases a dynamic scaler is used which, however, does not fall much below these average values, while on Xbox Series S the pixel count drops significantly, down to just 450p in 60 fps mode.
Between ups and downs

Despite the obvious compromises that must be accepted to play on certain platforms, Digital Foundry's final opinion is positive: “As a revival of such an important game, Alone in the Dark has a surprising charm”, we read in the article. “It boasts a great atmosphere thanks to the meticulous details of the scenario, if you are able to accept its critical points.”
