The Dark Pictures Anthology, which kicked off with the rather mediocre Man of Medan last year, has decided to delay its second instalment to ensure it can deliver the best possible experience. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope will now arrive in late 2020 as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Pete Samuels, CEO at Supermassive Games, delivered the unfortunate news through a statement on Twitter. "Our priority has been to keep people safe, and that includes actors and stage crews on whose talents we depend so heavily, other workforces external to our business who all help to create the games we make, and all the talented people who work in our studio. We will continue to follow government and industry body advice and will only embark on any element of development when such advice tells us that it is safe to do so."
As a result, future entries in the franchise have also more than likely had their release dates pushed back as the developer wanted to release them on a surprisingly regular basis. Did you enjoy Man of Medan and were excited about Little Hope? Have some patience in the comments below.

Little hope of games releasing on time this year
Makes more sense, regardless...I was gonna wait until autumn to play this one anyway, given the setting!
The last one (Man of Medan) released during the summer, but that was people on a boat, diving, so it was season-appropriate, lol.
I really enjoyed man of Medan and looking forward to this. Happy to wait given the circumstances
Well...crap.
Oh well, I guess Autumn is a much more appropriate timeframe given the subject matter.
I’m cool with it. This is a game I’d rather play in the Fall anyways. Hopefully won’t be pushed back any further but it’ll be a day one buy for me regardless.
Hopefully this is good news. I always felt this would get pushed back at some point regardless of Covid tbh. Aiming to get 2 of these out a year seemed a bit too ambitious and had me worried for all entries as Man of Medan didn't really start out strong.
Still excited for this release though, hopefully this extra time will be for the good of the final product, as well as the working conditions for the developers.
Sad news for the delay, but hopefully the final product will be more polished. Fingers crossed!
