Source-derived summary

Amnesia: Rebirth is a 2020 survival horror video game developed and published by Frictional Games. It was released for Windows, Linux, and PlayStation 4 on 20 October 2020, for Amazon Luna on 22 October 2021, and for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on 20 October 2022. A version for Nintendo Switch 2 was released on 30 April 2026. It is the third installment in the franchise and serves as a sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010). The game received generally favorable reviews.

Gameplay

Like The Dark Descent, the game is played from a first-person perspective. The player assumes control of Tasi Trianon, who must wander through desert caves and ancient tombs in order to find the whereabouts of her companions. The game is dimly lit, and players must use light sources, such as Tasi's own fuel lamp, to see clearly and find ways to progress. Players can also scavenge matches, which can be used to light up mounted torches and candles. Players also need to solve various puzzles to progress in the game, and read the notes left by non-player characters to know more about the story.

Editorial summary

“Amnesia: Rebirth” enters the record as 2020 video game developed by Frictional Games. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Amnesia, Rebirth and video can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2020, 2021, 2022, 2026—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—2020-10-20, 2022-10-20, 2026-04-30—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Amnesia, Rebirth and video.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Amnesia: Rebirth” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Amnesia, Rebirth and video provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q87190193. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 4 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2026.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
