Frictional Games’ terrifying Amnesia: The Dark Descent is getting an official Hard Mode next week, on September 28th, almost eight years after it first released on PC.
We can can thank the recently announced Amnesia: Collection for Xbox One for this surprise addition. Frictional explained that that, as part of its work on the collection, it decided to “spice it up with a little treat”.
As you can probably surmise, Hard Mode makes the already exhausting The Dark Descent more difficult by making a number of tweaks to the original’s design. Autosaves are disabled, for instance, and you’ll require four tinderboxes in order to perform a manual save.
