Amnesia: The Bunker: Release date, gameplay & platforms

Amnesia: The Bunker is set to be the next game in the iconic horror franchise which changed the genre during the 2010s, this time introducing combat and more resource management similar to survival horror games like Resident Evil. 

The Amnesia franchise has had various ups and downs over the past decade, with the series suffering from the proliferation of horror games that focused on running and hiding, rather than facing your fears head-on.

The game was first confirmed for March 2023, before being pushed back to May 16, then May 23, before being delayed to its current release dat of June 6.

Amnesia: The Bunker trailers

The first trailer for Amnesia: The Bunker was released on December 1, 2022, which also announced the game. It featured about 50 seconds of gameplay footage, showing the character exploring a dark room before opening a door to a bright hallway where a monster can be heard off-screen. It was notable as it showed off the player using a pistol, which is a first for the series.
