"We are relaunching Atmosfear for the digital age, and are so excited for its launch in 2019." ~ Norma Rosenhain, CEO Hijinx Toys
"We are so happy to be teaming with Hijinx for this and the subsequent follow up games..." ~ Phillip Tanner
"...this will be a new game with new technologies but it will have some of the familiar game play that made the game so popular." ~ Phillip Tanner
Via ArmoredAussie:
* The last stage of production is filming which is already underway.
* It will be a world-wide release sometime in 2019.
* It is not a re-release of a previous game.
The official website has been relaunched.
The Gatekeeper has been given a visual overhaul. It is not yet confirmed who is beneath the makeup at this time.
The game does not feature a VHS tape or DVD but instead runs entirely from an app download from the Android or IOS stores.
While it's possible the images are not finalized on the official site, the game board itself seems to be the same one from Atmosfear: The Gatekeeper but rebranded. That means time cards, fate cards, and the black key are back.

Such a fun game. I had imagined a modern incarnation of Atmosfear would utilize an app, but who knows if that's the route the developers are going. We don't really have a lot of information to go on. If they do follow the Mansions model, I hope they also release the app on Steam too.
