Fans Eager for The Dark Pictures Anthology 2 | New Speculations Arise
As the gaming community gears up for the next entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology, the buzz is more intense than ever. With titles like Directive 8020 and Winterfold, enthusiasts flood forums with opinions and theories. Recent discussions provide fresh insights into upcoming games, sparking even more excitement.
What's Brewing in the Dark Pictures Universe?
Enthusiasts express curiosity about the broader narrative web of the series. One fan asked, "Do we know what the other ones (outside of Directive 8020) are about yet?" This reflects a growing desire for more details on additional titles.
The Anticipation for Winterfold
Winterfold is a hot topic, fueled by its mysterious connection to the narrative in House of Ashes. As one user noted, "I want to see what those soldiers were talking about in the credit scene. They said the vampire/alien incident was it ‘all over again’". This raises speculation about the presence of real monsters, potentially zombies, as another fan chimed in, "If Winterfold is zombies then I’m so excited. I love that!"
Insights Into Craven Man and Intercession
Fans are also intrigued by Craven Man, which seems to draw inspiration from The Wicker Man and Midsommar, hinting at rich folk horror elements. According to another user's analysis, "Not exactly. Craven Man seems to be based on The Wicker Man or Midsommar. Something like a 'Folk Horror'."
Intercession, on the other hand, has sparked theories linking it to possession narratives, with one fan interpreting the game's symbol as an inverted cross. "It seems to be based on The Exorcist and possession movies," they explained.
The Community's Growing Speculations
In a mix of enthusiasm and curiosity, the community is piecing together Easter eggs from previous games to formulate theories on upcoming titles. The conversation highlights themes like the expectation of zombies in Winterfold, the potential backstory of the Curator in O Death, and innovation expected from the series as indicated by the interest in gameplay mechanics.
“It’s theorized they had ideas for at least eight games,” one user noted, indicating a broader plan beyond what has been formally announced.
