PS Plus Premium Brings Back Classic Alone in the Dark Horror for PS5, PS4

If the new Alone in the Dark PS5 reboot has given you a classic survival horror itch, then Sony’s subscription service PS Plus Premium is looking to scratch it. Available from Tuesday, 16th April 2024, the old PS1 terror Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare will be available to members on the top tier, complete with all the bells and whistles that come with the re-releases Sony accepts on the service. It’s joined by MediEvil and Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire on the same day.

Like most PS Plus Premium versions, you should expect Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare to ship with new quality-of-life features like save states, rewind functionality, video filters, and potentially a Trophy list to pursue. Since this is a third-party release, new digital trinkets aren’t a guarantee, unfortunately. We’ll share word if a Trophy list is spotted.

First released for PS1 in 2001, the game received a muted response critically, with most verdicts hovering around the 6 or 7/10 range. While the title was actually ported to PS2 in Europe, the PS Plus Premium version will be what’s found on the original PS1. Are you going to try The New Nightmare 23 years later?
