There have been a few reports on the internet this morning which suggests Alan Wake will be released in 2008. We aren’t sure if this will turn out to be true but it’s likely as the US Official Xbox Magazine seems confident about it.

“Alan Wake” is a psychological action thriller from Remedy, the legendary and renowned developers of highly successful action titles. In this exciting new title exclusively for Windows and Xbox 360, gamers assume the role of Alan Wake, a best-selling suspense author who escapes to a small town to recover from the mysterious disappearance of his fiancée.

Set in the deceptively idyllic town of Bright Falls, Wash., “Alan Wake” immerses players in an intense and expansive cinematic world that enables players to roam freely in hyper-realistic, dynamic and interactive environments. “Alan Wake” is mission-based with a deeply engaging and suspenseful story line unveiling new twists and profound character revelations at every turn. Players will unravel the riveting plot through multilayered character interactions, unique problem-solving and intense combat against terrifying enemies. In this nightmarish world, Alan Wake must use a variety of weapons to survive, including his most powerful ally against the creatures of darkness — light itself.

Many people have been waiting for news on Alan Wake for sometime, I don’t think this was the news many people wanted but it could be worse. We’ll keep you informed on this, like I’ve said, it’s likely to become reality that this game does get a release date of 2008.
