The next game in The Dark Pictures Anthology and sequel to Man of Medan has been announced. Revealed in a teaser trailer after the Man of Medan credits, the next game is called Little Hope and will be released in 2020.The trailer features Bandersnatch and Midsommar’s Will Poulter as Andrew, and appears to be set in a creepy town called Little Hope. A young girl with a creepy doll can be seen dancing around a fire, and Andrew’s friend Angela is shown to be in trouble. Beyond that, the trailer offers very little indication as to what Little Hope’s story is.
As an anthology series, The Dark Pictures presents each game as a standalone experience, rather than as a ‘sequel’ to the games before it. As far as we know there is no connection between Man of Medan and Little Hope in narrative or characters, but we wouldn’t be surprised if there are hints or Easter eggs littered around the games.
Our own Lucy had a lot of fun doing our Man of Medan review, in which many teenagers got brutally dispatched on a ghost ship. Hopefully Little Hope is just as entertaining.
