Microsoft’s just confirmed to PlanetXbox360.com that the PC cancellation of Alan Wak is indeed a sad but true rumor. Alan Wake got confirmed for a release on Xbox 360 last night at X10; it will release in the US on May 18, 2010 and May 21, 1010 in the UK. Make sure to check out the brand new
trailer (click here) and
screenshots (click here) that went live last night.
Set in the deceptively idyllic town of Bright Falls, Wash., “Alan Wake” immerses players in an intense and expansive cinematic world that enables players to roam freely in hyper-realistic, dynamic and interactive environments. “Alan Wake” is mission-based with a deeply engaging and suspenseful story line unveiling new twists and profound character revelations at every turn. Players will unravel the riveting plot through multilayered character interactions, unique problem-solving and intense combat against terrifying enemies. In this nightmarish world, Alan Wake must use a variety of weapons to survive, including his most powerful ally against the creatures of darkness — light itself.
The statement given to StratagyInformer.com starting this rumor was: “Some games are more suited for the intimacy of the PC, and others are best played from the couch in front of a larger TV screen. We ultimately realised that the most compelling way to experience “Alan Wake” was on the Xbox 360 platform, so we focused on making it an Xbox 360 exclusive. Both Microsoft and Remedy have long histories in PC game development. This decision was about matching this specific game to the right platform.”
