New Alan Wake to be announced at VGAs

Spike sent word yesterday that a new Alan Wake title from developer Remedy will be one of several titles to be announced at the upcoming annual awards show.

Following Spike’s announcement, Microsoft’s Major Nelson confirmed over on Twitter that the next Alan Wake will be a fully standalone title delivered to your console by way of Xbox Live.

“We can confirm that this new “Alan Wake” game will be a fully standalone experience and released on Xbox LIVE,” Major Nelson said in the tweet.

Fans of the original Alan Wake were less than pleased to discover that the next Alan Wake would be an XBLA title, but Remedy’s Peter Papadopoulos insists that despite its digital delivery, Alan Wake is “structured” like a full release.

“We’ll have an official announcement up in a moment but let me clarify that you guys shouldn’t feel disheartened that it’s coming to XBLA,” he said in a post on the Remedy forums. “It’s structured like a full release complete with a pretty damn impressive storyline that expands the originals in some interesting ways.”
