Jessie Buckley, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her work in The Lost Daughter at last night’s Academy Awards, will be featured in Supermassive’s upcoming entry into The Dark Pictures Anthology, The Devil In Me.
"Get ready for an unforgettable stay," wrote Supermassive in today’s announcement. "Oscar-nominated actress Jessie Buckley will star as Kate Wilder in The Devil In Me."
Buckley received her Oscar nod for portraying young Leda in The Lost Daughter, a psychological drama directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. The film received three Oscar nominations, including Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay, but failed to take home any of the three trophies.
This is the first actor to receive a credit in The Devil In Me, which was first announced a week after the release of House of Ashes last year. The teaser revealed a Saw-esque plot where several teenage documentary filmmakers get invited to a castle to create a documentary about serial killer H.H. Holmes. Surprise surprise, the killer traps them all inside the castle and then subjects them to terrible puzzles where they must make horrific choices to determine who lives and who dies.
Bandai Namco described The Devil In Me as The Dark Pictures Anthologies’ "most bloodcurdling story yet.” The choice mechanics which feature heavily throughout the series is likely to become even more important, and it seems likely that not everyone will survive no matter what choices the player makes.
The Devil In Me is the fourth game to be released in The Dark Pictures Anthology, following Man of Medan in 2019, Little Hope in 2020, and House of Ashes in October 2021. If the trend follows, we’ll likely see The Devil In Me later in the fall, although neither Supermassive Games nor Bandai Namco has announced an official release date.
