Atari has announced a major update for Alone in the Dark: Illumination. As the press release reads, the new patch places an emphasis on player ability progression which gives each character class – Hunter, Witch, Priest and Engineer – enhanced powers and skills to fight deadlier creatures and hellish adversaries.
With an improved skill system, new monster types, additional objectives, and more, the update to Alone in the Dark: Illumination promises to deliver a thrilling and challenging experience with improved gameplay pacing.
Here are the key features of this upcoming update:
- Overhauled Player Advancement System: Experience new skill tree progression, new ability enhancements, and a smoother pace-to-level advancement.
- New and Improved Player Abilities: From the Witch’s powerful fireball to a revised weapon loadout for the Hunter, each class brings a new feel and strategic layer to the game.
- Streamlined Missions and Objectives: Additional variety and improved monster spawning AI make objectives more challenging while bringing additional replay value.
- Improved Narrative: Refined narrative delivery with added voiceover immerses players in the horror gaming experience.
- New Monster Types and Behaviors: From the tougher Goblin Brute to a larger variety of shapes, the deadlier creatures make every encounter more challenging than ever before.
Enjoy!

Stories like this make me so happy. I hope Atari keeps throwing millions of dollars at shovelware which is doomed to fail (such as this and the Asteroids MMO). Eventually, it’ll cause them to go bankrupt and we may finally see the Blood source code being pried from their cold, dead fingers.
Implying that this rubbish that they pump out cost more than a few millions. xD
Holy crap, do they honestly think people care about this game? O.o
At least they’re trying.
Uhmm, reviving a dead horse perhaps?
I’m sure the 2 guys who still play this will be overjoyed.
more than 2 people play it obviously kiddo. have you tried it? of course not, another troll talking trash about something they never played who will happily hype and viral a ubisoft soon to be downgrade video. of the irony.
