Microsoft announced today that Remedy Entertainment will not be releasing a PC version of AlanWake, their upcoming eerie thriller. The announcement comes just months before the game’s release, and with no PC version in the works this would make Alan Wake a Xbox 360 exclusive.
A Microsoft spokesperson elaborated on the decision yesterday:
“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.”
Alan Wake will be released on May 18th on Xbox 360. Assuming they don’t cancel that version too.
