The quiet listing of a new version of the 16-year-old horror classic, buried in financial statements rather than a formal announcement, signals Frictional Games is revisiting its most acclaimed work while its next major project, ONTOS, approaches release in 2027.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Frictional Games' fiscal year 2025 financial statements, published June 29, quietly list a 'new version' of Amnesia: The Dark Descent for release at the end of 2026. The 2010 horror classic currently holds an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating on Steam. Details on whether it is a remake or remaster remain unknown.
Frictional Games slipped the news into its fiscal year 2025 financial report rather than a dedicated announcement. The document, published June 29, schedules a 'new version' of Amnesia: The Dark Descent for the end of 2026. A Reddit user flagged the listing on July 30, and the community picked it up from there.
The original game launched on PC in 2010 and built its reputation on unarmed survival, where players manage light sources and sanity while evading monsters. Steam user reviews currently rate it 'Overwhelmingly Positive' at 95% positive across more than 20,000 reviews.
Frictional's report also notes a small team has entered pre-production on the next major project, with no release date set. The studio's upcoming title ONTOS, described as a spiritual successor to SOMA, remains scheduled for 2027.
