As the release date of Alone in the Dark approaches, fans are in for a treat with exclusive concept art. Despite facing delays and challenges, the game's journey through development has been a significant one. The impact of COVID-19 on the gaming industry has been evident, with Alone in the Dark facing its own set of hurdles. Beginning its development in 2019, the team had to adapt to remote work and rely heavily on references for inspiration.

The concept art created during this period has laid the foundation for the game's visuals, including characters, monsters, and the game world. Pieces Interactive, the development studio, shared some of this artwork exclusively with Game Rant, offering a glimpse into the artistic process behind Alone in the Dark.

For the creation of Lovecraftian monsters in the game, Pieces Interactive collaborated with renowned monster designer Guy Davis. Known for his work on various movies and comics, Davis was given creative freedom to design creatures like the Ghoul and Flyer, which have remained largely unchanged in the final game.

By expanding on the game's core elements and introducing fresh concepts, Alone in the Dark promises an immersive experience for both new players and fans of the original. The unveiled concept art illustrates the game's commitment to re-imagining the franchise while staying true to its roots.
