Frictional Games has announced the next game in the horrifying Amnesia series, Amnesia: The Bunker, and it’s potentially the biggest departure from the series yet.

The studio announced that their next Amnesia game will be coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC in 2023. The developers are calling Amnesia: The Bunker their most open game yet with players able to explore a semi-open world with hardly any scripted events.

This means players can explore different paths and areas without being constrained, but the terror will come from an “ever-present threat” so be warned.

Furthermore, players will be able to choose their gameplay style as they will be equipped with both a revolver and noisy dynamo flashlight. While players can defend themselves, they’ll also be able to survive through stealth.

Amnesia: The Bunker will play as a French soldier haunted by his amnesia. The game is set in a dark, World War 1 bunker.

Frictional is promising multiple solutions for each task, puzzle, and other obstacles, all contributing to the new sense of freedom and openness in the new Amnesia game. The semi-open world actively encourages exploration and experimentation according to the developers, but each decision can change the outcome of how the game responds.

Given that the game is unscripted, objects, threats, and resources will also change in every playthrough.

Amnesia: The Bunker is the latest game in the Amnesia series following Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, and Amnesia: Rebirth. You can read IGN’s review for Amnesia: Rebirth here.

Amazon has revealed that Simon Pegg is returning for The Boys Season 4 alongside a slew of new cast members.

Rosemarie Dewitt, who's previously featured in La La Land and Black Mirror, will star as Hughie Campbell's mother, presumably playing opposite Pegg in his role as the father.

Rob Benedict (from Supernatural, Lucifer, and more) will also join the cast alongside Elliot Knight (of How to Get Away with Murder, Titans, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and more), though neither actor has a confirmed casting as of yet.

They'll join previously confirmed new cast members of Susan Heyward as Sister Sage, Valorie Curry as Firecracker, Cameron Crovetti as Ryan, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (of Walking Dead fame).

Season 3 of The Boys wrapped in July 2022 and Season 4 is currently in production with no confirmed premiere date so far.

In our 9/10 review of last season, IGN said: "The Boys Season 3 achieves a balance between impactful storytelling and extreme violence that cements itself as one of the best shows on streaming, no matter year or genre."

December is another busy month for Xbox Game Pass with a ton of new titles arriving on console and PC.

Summer Game Fest is officially returning in 2023, kicking off with a live show at Los Angeles' YouTube Theater on June 8.

Thousands of tickets will be available in early 2023 for those looking to attend the live show, which promises a ton of game reveals, new trailers, and other announcements. In keeping with Summer Game Fest tradition, the show will also be streamed on YouTube and Twitch, all hosted by Geoff Keighley.

"Over the past three years, Summer Game Fest has cultivated an incredible community around the world through our digital-first events, and we’re thrilled to invite thousands of fans to experience the SGF show in-person for the first time in 2023," said Keighley.

"In keeping with tradition, we’ll have tons of exciting announcements from the developers that are pushing the games industry forward, and will once again highlight other publisher digital events, demos, and more surprises to be announced in the coming months."

Summer Game Fest's opening show in 2022 was headlined by the official PlayStation 5 reveal of The Last of Part 1, but also featured announcements from the likes of Street Fighter 6, The Callisto Protocol, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2, Gotham Knights, and more.

There's currently no information on which games will be at Summer Game Fest's opening show next year, but it could include some of 2023's biggest games like Starfield, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and more.

My Time at Portia developer Pathea Games has announced Let's School, a school management sim that tasks you with becoming the best headmaster you can possibly be. It is due out for PC in early 2023.

Incredibly, this project started as a prototype by one person, and then the rest of the studio loved it so much they enthusiastically got on board. “Let’s School is a bit of a departure from what the world knows us for, but after being prototyped by our producer Lanka for 18 months everyone at the studio just fell in love with the project,” brand manager Alice Zhou said. “Since then the team has grown substantially to a handful of developers and we’re been blown away by what they’ve been able to achieve. Any fans of management sims are going to get a big kick out of this one.” Check out the first trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.

In Let's School, you'll both build your house of learning and manage it. The goal is to get every student's grades up to their fullest potential so that you can earn more funding for the next school year and keep your momentum going. Pathea also says you can "choose what associations, sports meetings, morning exercises and other activities are available in-school to enrich or enrage students - all of whom have their own individual preferences and talents."

And like in any sim worth its salt, there will be random catastrophes to deal with in its story-driven campaign. Wishlist it on Steam if you're interested.

Ryan McCaffrey is IGN's executive editor of previews and host of both IGN's weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He's a North Jersey guy, so it's "Taylor ham," not "pork roll." Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.
