Alone in the Dark's release is being pushed back as 'the well-being of the team is a top priority'

Alone in the Dark reboot has been delayed yet again, as publisher THQ Nordic decided in order to help developers over the holiday period. 

Alone in the Dark reboot had already been pushed back to 2024 to avoid October's busy release schedule, but it now seems that delaying the release back to January wasn't enough. In a press release, THQ Nordic explains how it came to the decision to postpone the survival game further until March 2024. 

"With our initially planned release date in January 2024, the Christmas season would have been filled with stress and anything but a jolly time for Pieces Interactive," THQ Nordic said. "The well-being of the teams is a top priority, and both companies want to avoid any potential crunch over the Christmas holidays. 

Furthermore, THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive want to ensure that the game not only meets but exceeds the expectations of the community, especially with the outstanding performances of Hollywood stars David and Jodie as the main protagonists."

Alone in the Dark reboot is now slated to release on March 20, 2024, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Players can expect the survival horror game to capitalize on its roots as it reimagines the classic version from 1992. 

However, if you can't wait until March 2024, then you can download a free and playable prologue right now on Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Microsoft Store. Initially released in May 2023, the Alone in the Dark Prologue follows Grace Saunders, an 11-year-old girl whose journey to deliver a letter turns horribly wrong. Players can experience the Derceto Manor, the haunting Southern Gothic manor, in a whole new light, as well as diving into the eldritch horror that this upcoming survival horror game is well known for.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
