With Halloween just around the bend, Amnesia: Rebirth will release just in time to add some extra scares to the frightening holiday by featuring stressful puzzle solving. Developer Frictional Games has released a new gameplay trailer showing what kind of change and innovation players can expect from the follow-up to the influential 2010 indie horror title.

Amnesia: A Dark Descent saw great success with the indie genre and YouTubers like Markiplier by redefining the horror genre. Along with the classing unsettling settings and jumpscares that one can expect, Amnesia implemented a new level of psychological horror. Following its commercial success, the internet saw a resurgence in the horror gaming genre, moving away from action titles and focusing on atmospheric terror and stressful survival elements. Now, it looks like Frictional Games will follow in its predecessor's footsteps by implementing the same provoking gameplay players have come to know and love with Amnesia: Rebirth.

Rebirth is the second sequel from the Amnesia series, but it's the only direct sequel so far. While A Machine For Pigs took place on an alternative timeline with a separate cast of characters, players will assume the role of Tasi Trianon in Rebirth and explore the Algerian desert. She must solve trademark Amnesia puzzles to figure out why she's here and how to escape, but the developers are also doubling down on the psychological horror aspect of the game. Players should expect the game to be impactful in similar ways that feel familiar, but also be ready for it to make them question the view of their world outside the game, Creative Director Thomas Grip said in an interview with IGN.

Amnesia: Rebirth will invoke the feeling of slowly growing dread throughout the game. Though it may not be as graphically groundbreaking as upcoming AAA titles, Rebirth will offer a different kind of memorable experience, one filled with adrenaline and anxiety centered around delusion and confusion. Frictional Games has said that it's taking quite a lot of risks with Rebirth, just as it did with SOMA, in order to leave as lasting an impression on gamers that A Dark Descent did while exploring innovative types of horror.

And Rebirth isn't the only big horror game that will come in October. Under, which is heavily inspired by Hideo Kojima's PT, is expected to release Halloween 2020, according to Steam. And the second installment in Supermassive's horror anthology series, The Dark Pictures: Little Hope, is geared to come out just a day before Halloween, so players will have plenty of content to binge on throughout this month.

Amnesia: Rebirth will launch on October 20 for PC and PS4.
