Amnesia: Collection is a collection consisting of two previous games of the series, including Amnesia: The Dark Descent and its DLC Justine, plus Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. It was first released on November 22, 2016 for the PlayStation 4.[citation needed]

Release[]

The collection was first announced for PS4 by Frictional Games on October 19, 2016, with a very unique trailer consisting entirely of footage taken from early YouTube "Let's Plays" of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The Frictional Games team later clarified a few things about the collection in a blog post on their website on October 21.

The release brought a few new features to the game, most notably the addition of trophies to all three games. These were later added as Achievements in a patch to the Steam release of the game, and was also added to the Xbox One edition after its release.

On August 27, 2018, Frictional Games teased on Twitter that the collection would be released on Xbox One in the near future, mentioning that more information regarding this would be released on September 7. Microsoft released a news update on August 25 with a preliminary release date set at August 31, however this was later removed with a notice citing more information to be available regarding the release shortly.

On September 7, 2018, Frictional Games announced that the Xbox One release of Amnesia: Collection would be delayed due to "technical issues". A couple of weeks later, on September 21, Frictional announed that the Xbox One edition of the game would be released on September 28, and that it would feature a Hard Mode for Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which would make the game harder for experienced players by decreasing the amount of Items from the game, making enemies deal more damage and spot the player more easily, disabling the autosave feature, among other things. It was released for Xbox One on September 28, 2018.[citation needed]

The collection was also released for Nintendo Switch with a release trailer, on September 12, 2019.[citation needed]
