Quality-of-life enhancements for Dark Pictures Anthology

• New difficulty settings and QTE warnings
• Improved UI and interactions
• Updated bearing art and event triggers
• Increased walking speeds
• More accessibility options all around
• Man of Medan received a new chapter - Flooded

Man of Medan now has a new chapter called “Flooded”, which will introduce brand new gameplay as well as new deaths to the climactic ending of the game. Fans of the series can also expect another game this year, The Devil In Me.

The Dark Pictures Anthology was originally scheduled to be an eight-part series. The upcoming title, The Devil In Me, is slated to end the first season of this game’s story. There were also five titles registered in Europe in 2022 for The Dark Pictures Anthology, which perhaps hints that even more content from this series is coming in the future.

For now, players have enhanced versions of the games to look forward to, which have officially launched today. Both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S fans can pick these up for free, if they already own the original releases.
