Like <em>re<\/em>beginning, or <em>re<\/em>ckoning, or *shivers* <em>re<\/em>vengeance\u2026 Well, we may have thought that trend died out and then Amnesia comes along and brings it all back again. Amnesia: Rebirth has just been announced with a nice little teaser.<\/p>\n<p>Frictional Games are back with a new chapter in the Amnesia story after they posted a short announcement trailer on their official Youtube channel. It will mark their return to the franchise of The Chinese Room took over for Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Taking place in the desert after what seems to be a plane crash, players will once again have to uncover their memories of what happened. What awaits us in the depths of darkness this time?&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>\u201c<em>Amnesia: Rebirth, a new descent into darkness from the creators of the iconic Amnesia series. A harrowing journey through desolation and despair, exploring the limits of human resilience.<\/em>\u201d Er, I\u2019m pretty sure that\u2019s just the concept ripped straight from Amnesia: The Dark Descent right?<\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>So it looks like Frictional games are \u2018going back to their roots\u2019 in this new instalment, reading the description on the Steam page makes me wonder if I\u2019m not just reading the original Amnesia\u2019s game description, except this time you\u2019re in the desert, and you\u2019re a girl. Not only that, but the subtitle \u2018Rebirth\u2019 could also be seen in the meta context as a <em>rebirth<\/em> of the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no word on whether this new addition to the series will have mod support, though considering how much the modding community helped with Amnesia\u2019s growth in the first place, it would be an absolute shame if they didn\u2019t include mod support this time round.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the official site has a link to a GDrive of various documents for Press, but there&#8217;s a particular folder in there named &#8216;Clues&#8217;, are Frictional Games trying to tease something here? Are they creating an ARG in the lead up to the announcement? Only time will tell&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I have to say I\u2019m a big fan of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, my friend and I used to watch lots of videos online of people playing the game (don\u2019t judge me) until we both ended up buying the game to create our own mods. We didn\u2019t actually finish any of them, we were just excited teenagers about the prospect of making our own game after all, but we were very excited for Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs when it was announced. Then that turned out to be an abysmal mess compared to the first one, with a distinct lack of mod support. Luckily, Frictional Games weren\u2019t the actual developers of that game and so it was kind of excusable. I would mention SOMA here but let\u2019s not talk about that because it\u2019s not part of the Amnesia franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Amnesia: Rebirth is currently listed as \u2018Coming Soon\u2019 on Steam, you can wishlist it now as we wait to hear on a confirmed release date.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Rebirth? Is Amnesia back? Have you solved the clues yet? Will it spark another wave of online content creators making reaction videos and let\u2019s plays? Let us know!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>System Requirements Optimum 1080p PC Build Low vs Ultra Screenshots GPU Performance Chart CPU List&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4188,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2022,587,1428,328,2021],"class_list":["post-4187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-amnesia","tag-announced","tag-developers","tag-games","tag-rebirth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
