BrightFalls.net has a
follow-up to Remedy Entertainment's Markus Maki's recent
no
comment on the status of a PC edition of
Alan Wake. Markus
specifically said: "Unfortunately all I can say at this point is that we're
focusing all our efforts on the 360 version and will be making comments in
regards to the PC at a later in time." Reading between the lines suggests that
this decision rests in the hands of the publisher, and the statement they
received indicates that Microsoft is indeed the decider when it comes to
bringing the psychological thriller to Windows:
Thank you for your
continued interest in Alan Wake. It is accurate that we are currently working
exclusively on the Xbox360 version of Alan Wake. PC plans are currently open,
and therefore it’s safe to say that at least a simultaneous launch with the Xbox
version will not happen at this late stage. Remedy has a deep heritage in PC
gaming and would love to see a PC version available to its PC followers,
ultimately however this decision lies with our publisher.
