Eden Games hopes to get straight on with another Alone in the Dark game once the current one ships, according to producer Nour Polloni.

Asked whether we'd get to see regular AITD games from now on, rather than having to wait seven years again, Polloni told Eurogamer: "We certainly hope so!"

"From our side, it's something we'd love to do and there's already plenty of ideas within the team of where we could take the series next."

Sure, you know Alone in the Dark 5 is coming. You also probably know that, while the protagonist's name is Edward Carnaby, he has absolutely nothing in common with the original, more dapper Carnaby of the first game. But what else do you know about the game? Not much, I'll tell you, because for a game that was supposed to be coming in March (itself a delay from a 2007 release), we've not heard much new info for a while. So don't act too surprised, then, at news it's been delayed for a second time, this time to September. Bummer.

What was once a teaser web site for Atari's horror title Alone in the Dark has now been updated with additional media and info, giving us a better idea of what to expect from the game. Also, thanks to a brief word from the official Atari Europe Forums, the release date for the game was narrowed down:

"The current release date is financial year 2007 - which, for Atari, ends on 31st March 2008. There isn't a set date as yet, the game looks pretty cool and in a very good shape as of the last version I've seen (beginning of Dec), so all very very promising."

Kotaku writes:

"Atari Australia seems to have its wires crossed. According to the publisher's website, Alone in the Dark: Near Death Investigation came out 11 months ago! I must have missed the press release on that one. And the review copy. And the reviews.

Yes, I realise it's a small mistake, but I think because of it AITD is appearing on the front page of the site along with The Witcher and Jericho, two games that came out weeks (or months) ago. Might cause a bit of confusion when punters go looking for it. Mind you, $119.95 is quite a price tag".

Atari has just started its viral marketing campaign for Alone in the Dark as the mysterious website www.centraldark.com was launched. Atari sent out a press release with nothing more than this link. On the website, you can view a trailer which tells the story of what mystery lies under the ground of Central Park in New York. Beneath the trailer, however, there is a countdown which reaches zero on December 13.

Surely, this was all intended for Alone in the Dark, since Atari is the publisher of the game and the game itself is situated in and around Central Park. But what could happen on December 13? View the trailer yourself after the jump.

Joystiq says despite what Atari originally said, the hardly ever seen Alone in the Dark has been pushed off in fiscal year 2008, which for Atari ends March 31. Guess Atari is going to hinge their fiscal salvation on the sure to be über-mega-successful Atari Classics Evolved.

Some truly ropey footage of Atari's Alone in the Dark 5 has stepped out of the shadows, offering a glimpse of what's in store for this grim, action-slanted survival horror. Did we say ropey? We meant it - the clip sees lead character Edward Carnby scrambling his way up the side of a crumbling skyscraper, clinging onto a length of rope that's serving as a lifeline. Flaming masonry plummets past him as he ascends, and exploding cars from the street below soar up and nip at his heels. Even the ... » Read More

Carnby gets high in the first ever 360 gameplay.

Clinging to a ledge 20 odd stories above Central Park, nearby windows exploding in flame, and a malevolent, supernatural force on the loose, Carnby finds himself in another sticky situation in Alone in the Dark.

At X06 in Barcelona Thursday, a team from Eden Games walked IGN through the first mission of the second episode of Alone in the Dark on the 360, the time ever running on the console. While still early in development -- the game is slated to ship sometime next year, and we're guessing Q3 -- Alone in the Dark is an interesting take on the franchise and the genre.
