Amnesia

The Amnesia franchise is active across three fronts: Frictional Games has quietly listed a new version of Amnesia: The Dark Descent for late 2026, a Marukuji merchandise lottery using past artwork ran from September 25 to October 18, 2026, and an independent game called Amnesia Bullet is slated for early access on Steam around early July 2026.

Synthesized from 4 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 26

Two Amnesia titles are in circulation as of late 2026. 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. Whether the project is a remake or a remaster is unknown. Separately, the independent developer eye-factory has released a Steam demo for Amnesia Bullet, a gyro-controlled third-person shooter made with AI chat tools and Unity in 30 days by a developer with no prior programming experience. It is scheduled to begin early access on PC via Steam around early July 2026.

The franchise's merchandise arm is also active. The Marukuji "AMNESIA" REMIX ver. lottery runs from September 25 to October 18, 2026 at 880 yen per draw on marukuji.jp, with buyers picking an A3 cloth poster, desktop acrylic stand, acrylic keyholder, or clear bromide. The merchandise reuses illustrations from the AMNESIA Calendar 2015-2017, AMNESIA Art Works 1-3, and AMNESIA PREMIUM SELECTION, all published by Hifumi Shobo. It is an online lottery with no losing tickets, and orders are made to order.

Coverage has also looked backward. A Game Spark retrospective on the early 2010s horror game scene argued that indie titles like Cry of Fear and Amnesia gained prominence as major franchises like Resident Evil became more action-oriented.

Developer With No Programming Experience Releases Steam Demo in 30 Days Using AI

Independent developer eye-factory has released a demo for the gyro-controlled third-person shooter 'Amnesia Bullet' on Steam. The developer, who had no prior programming experience, used AI chat tools and Unity to build the game and publish the demo in 30 days. A post on X documenting the first week of development received roughly 970,000 impressions. The game is a single-player action shooter in which a girl who lost her memory fights enemies across 3D stages. Players switch between assault rifles, sniper rifles, and launchers. The demo covers the early story and the first stage, '1st Memory (Blue).' Clearing normal difficulty unlocks higher difficulties. The developer recommends a gamepad with gyro support, and compatibility has been confirmed with the original Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and DualSense. 'Amnesia Bullet' is scheduled to begin early access on PC via Steam around early July 2026.
