    A new Amnesia game is on the way and it is not a direct sequel to the first one, but it will be "in the same alternate history and set in the same universe". The game is said to be released before Halloween this year.

    "Set in 1899, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs follows the "wealthy industrialist" Oswald Mandus, who has returned home from "a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy." Struck by a destructive fever, Mandus is haunted by dreams of a dark machine until he mysteriously regains consciousness. Months have passed, unbeknownst to the industry tycoon, and as he emerges from his slumber the roaring engine of a mysterious machine sputters to life."

    The name which they agreed upon this new game is pretty weird, but, of course, it does reflect nothing and I have confidence in Frictional Games.
