LONDON – 14 May 2010 - From today, fans across Europe will finally be able to get their hands on Remedy’s much anticipated sleeper hit, “Alan Wake”, as it lights up store shelves.
This blockbuster addition to the Xbox 360 line-up has been met with widespread critical acclaim as reviewers step into the intense and expansive cinematic world of Bright Falls.
Bringing a new style of storytelling to Xbox 360, “Alan Wake” is a psychological action thriller from Remedy, the renowned original developers of the successful “Max Payne” series.
