‘Amnesia: The Bunker,’ a highly anticipated addition to the horror gaming genre, was initially scheduled for release on various platforms later this month. However, gamers eagerly awaiting its arrival will have to practice a bit more patience. Frictional Games, the studio behind the game, recently announced a minor postponement in the game’s launch.
Now, the revised release date for this intense horror game has been set for June 6, 2023. This means that players will have to wait an additional two weeks from the initially planned date of May 23.
