It seems there is some confusion about Alan Wake’s release date, amid suggestions that Remedy’s title may slip into 2009.
As we reported earlier, Microsoft’s Don Mattrick had stated in a memo sent out to Microsoft’s Xbox staff that Remedy’s highly promising game would be one of the 360’s big-name exclusives for 2008.
However, according to Jeux-France.com (with the obligatory Google translation here), sources within the Finnish developer are now claiming that the earliest we’ll see the game is 2009.
Although the combination of Remedy’s pedigree and promsing (if a little bit thin) footage thus far is effectively building up a lot of hype for the title, its protracted development has been a source of much frustration.
