Key Highlights:
- The Alone in the Dark Collector’s Edition was limited to just 5,000 individually numbered copies worldwide.
- Physical extras included a 26cm Dark Man statue, 10cm Ostadte miniature, glow-in-the-dark SteelBook, door hanger and Derceto 1930 wall stickers.
- Its DLC package contained the Derceto 1992 Costume Pack, Director’s Commentary Mode and Vintage Horror Filter Pack.
The Alone in the Dark Collector’s Edition was revealed by THQ Nordic in August 2023, with only 5,000 copies produced worldwide for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
An official trailer showcased the package and its physical collectables, led by a 26cm, or roughly 10-inch, statue of the Dark Man and a smaller 10cm Ostadte miniature.
The edition also included a glow-in-the-dark SteelBook, a Do Not Disturb door hanger, a Derceto 1930 wall sticker set and a standard copy of the game for the chosen platform.
Its digital extras were bundled together as the Collector’s Edition DLC Package. This contained the Derceto 1992 Costume Pack, which gives Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood appearances inspired by the original 1992 game, alongside Director’s Commentary Mode and the Vintage Horror Filter Pack.
THQ Nordic divided the 5,000 numbered Collector’s Editions unusually precisely. Copies #1 to #20 were allocated to the THQ Nordic Vienna Store, while numbers #21 through #4,999 were distributed internationally through its online store and selected retailers.
Copy #5,000 was reserved for the Embracer Games Archive in Sweden rather than being offered for sale.
The Collector’s Edition was not the only physical version produced in restricted numbers. THQ Nordic also limited the physical PC standard edition to 3,500 copies worldwide, with its final numbered copy similarly destined for the Embracer Games Archive.
At the time of the Collector’s Edition reveal, Alone in the Dark was scheduled for October 25, 2023. That date later changed twice, first to January 16, 2024 and ultimately to March 20, 2024, when the re-imagining launched on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The Collector’s Edition followed the May 2023 reveal of David Harbour and Jodie Comer as Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood, with the two actors providing their voices, likenesses and performances for Alone in the Dark.
