| | | Amnesia: The Bunker Announced, Promises Major Changes to the Series | | by Matt Kim Dec 1, 2022 | | Frictional Games has announced the next game in the horrifying Amnesia series, Amnesia: The Bunker, and it’s potentially the biggest departure from the series yet. The studio announced that their next Amnesia game will be coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC in 2023. The developers are calling Amnesia: The Bunker their most open game yet with players able to explore a semi-open world with hardly any scripted events. This means players can explore different paths and areas without being constrained, but the terror will come from an “ever-present threat” so be warned. Furthermore, players will be able to choose their gameplay style as they will be equipped with both a revolver and noisy dynamo flashlight. While players can defend themselves, they’ll also be able to survive through stealth. Amnesia: The Bunker will play as a French soldier haunted by his amnesia. The game is set in a dark, World War 1 bunker. Frictional is promising multiple solutions for each task, puzzle, and other obstacles, all contributing to the new sense of freedom and openness in the new Amnesia game. The semi-open world actively encourages exploration and experimentation according to the developers, but each decision can change the outcome of how the game responds. Given that the game is unscripted, objects, threats, and resources will also change in every playthrough. Amnesia: The Bunker is the latest game in the Amnesia series following Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, and Amnesia: Rebirth.

Rosemarie Dewitt, who's previously featured in La La Land and Black Mirror, will star as Hughie Campbell's mother, presumably playing opposite Pegg in his role as the father. Rob Benedict (from Supernatural, Lucifer, and more) will also join the cast alongside Elliot Knight (of How to Get Away with Murder, Titans, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and more), though neither actor has a confirmed casting as of yet. They'll join previously confirmed new cast members of Susan Heyward as Sister Sage, Valorie Curry as Firecracker, Cameron Crovetti as Ryan, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (of Walking Dead fame). Season 3 of The Boys wrapped in July 2022 and Season 4 is currently in production with no confirmed premiere date so far. In our 9/10 review of last season, IGN said: "The Boys Season 3 achieves a balance between impactful storytelling and extreme violence that cements itself as one of the best shows on streaming, no matter year or genre."
