With the Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs release date having been confirmed at last, fans anticipating the ever so delayed sequel can finally breathe easy. Developer The Chinese Room has made an announcement through its Twitter account that the survival horror game will be out for PC, Mac and Linux on September 10 this year. Steam, GOG.com and Desura are all offering discounted pre-orders for this Amnesia game, allowing players to reserve their copies at 15.99 USD (approx. Rs 985) instead of its full price of 19.99 (approx. Rs 1,230).
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is an indirect sequel to its cult classic predecessor which gave gamers quite some scares with its cleverly created atmosphere and frantic moments. While the earlier title was crafted by Frictional Games, the development duties of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs are being handled by The Chinese Room which has been responsible for games like Korsakovia and the experimental Dear Esther.
First announced in February 2012, it was slated to be launched during the fall of last year. However, in July that year, its makers pushed its arrival date forward into Q1 2013. And then in February, another announcement confirmed that it has been further delayed until the second quarter of 2013. It didn’t stop at that, as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs was then thrust into late summer during this June by the developers, citing time for final touches.
And now, we finally have a release date which fans can start looking forward to. As mentioned above, pre-orders for Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs are being offered at discounted prices currently.
