Frictional Games has revealed that the release of Amnesia: The Bunker has been delayed from its planned release on May 16. Fortunately, the wait won’t be long, as the horror will arrive on the 23rd instead. The extra time is to allow the team to fine-tune a few details. By the way, the company is trying to avoid conflicts with other big releases that are supposed to take place in the same month.
First, [Frictional Games] takes this extra time to polish the game even further, ensuring everything will be absolutely perfect for you when it launches. Secondly, they plan the launch carefully to avoid a week filled with amazing titles from other talented studios. This thoughtful decision means you can fully immerse yourself in any amazing game without feeling overwhelmed.

What other games are due for release in May?
It is difficult to say exactly what game the developer wants to avoid potential conflicts with. There are some notable games coming in May, including long-awaited titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Redfall , but the press release (understandably) offers no further details. Regardless, those looking forward to Amnesia: The Bunker won’t have to wait too long!
From everything revealed so far, Amnesia: The Bunker looks much different than previous games in the series. As revealed last December, the game will feature a “semi-open world” where players will have a lot of freedom to decide how they want to complete various tasks. The protagonist, Henri Clement, set in a World War I bunker, will have to face a gruesome enemy who will constantly follow the player and change his strategies. Frictional Games promises an intense experience, and everything shown so far seems to prove it. The game is set to release for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store .
