Amnesia: The Bunker came out earlier this summer to a warm reception from horror fans, and now developer Frictional Games is about to give the game a new boost via its big Halloween update. One of the big additions is the new Shell Shock mode, that provides a particularly tough challenge by making certain key items harder to acquire, increasing fuel demands, and making the Stalker more unpredictable. That said, if straightforward punishment isn’t your thing, Frictional is also introducing a new Custom mode, which allows you to set over 30 parameters to determine how you want to the game to play. You can check out a rundown of all the different options, below.

　　In addition to the new Shell Shock and Custom difficulty modes, Frictional has also teased PC owners will be able to play the game at 120fps.

　　Haven’t been keeping up with Amnesia: The Bunker? It’s definitely worth your time, as Wccftech’s Ule Lopez found it to be one of the best horror games of the year in his full review…

　　“Amnesia: The Bunker has become one of the best horror games in an ever-changing landscape on par with titles like Resident Evil 7 and The Dark Descent. This game not only is a return to form for Frictional Games but it also paves the way forward thanks to its systems that encourage creative solutions to problems and an ever-changing nature that will keep players on the edge of their seats as they face off against the supernatural threat that's roaming the halls of the bomb shelter.

　　Amnesia: The Bunker is a step in the right direction for horror experiences in the future. With how amazing the Resident Evil 4 Remake was and how great some experimental games in the indie space have been, I can say that this year will be great for horror games, even in times of change.”

　　Amnesia: The Bunker can be played on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PS4. Frictional Games hasn’t put a solid release date on the Halloween update yet, but they promise it will arrive “shortly.”
