[PC] Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs scaring up PC audiences later this year
Recently we reported about how fans were feverishly working to decipher the cryptic clues being left by Frictional Games about their next title that would presumably be an Amnesia follow-up.

Now it seems we have some confirmation though, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is coming to PC later this year in a pairing between Frictional Games and Dear Esther developers, thechineseroom. No firm release dates have been confirmed yet, but the two studios are aiming for a Halloween launch. thechineseroom will be developing and Frictional Games will be producing the title.

The game will not be a direct sequel to the original Amensia, but it will be set in an alternate history in the same universe. It will be set in 1899 and follows a wealthy industrialist known as Oswald Mandus who has recently returned home from "a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy", which should ring a few bells. He finds himself struck by a fever and is haunted by dreams of a dark machine, suddenly he mysteriously regains conciousness. Unbeknownst to Mandus several months have passed and as he awakens from his slumber the roaring engine of a machine suddenly comes to life.

Excited yet? If you haven't played Amnesia: Dark Descent yet I highly recommend that you do! Seriously. I could sit here for hours and talk about how much I love that game, give it a shot.
