One of the more anticipated announcements at the VGA’s last week was the Alan Wake Spinoff: American Nightmare, but what we didn’t realize is that it is already close to completion. (Strange when you consider that Alan Wake originally was planned for a Xbox title then a Xbox360 launch title.)
Remedy announced today that the game will released “in the Middle of first Quarter next year.” While still vague, they also give us an idea of what to expect in this spinoff of the Alan Wake story, including a new mode called “fight till dawn” a similar mode to Horde in Gears of War 3, in which the beleaguered writer is swarmed by enemies over the course of a night, and attempts to build up a score by taking them out with a variety of weapons, “from old stalwarts like the flare gun to wild new favorites like the nail gun and old school Remedy favorites like the Uzi.”
