Microsoft has confirmed that the next Alan Wake game will not come to retail and instead be a “fully standalone experience released on Xbox Live.” This hasn’t sat well with some fans, but Remedy has sought to reassure them and remind them to not pass judgment until they get more information.
“You’re assuming a lot by the platform it is on,” said Remedy’s community manager. “All I can say is wait for the official announcement before making up your mind. We’ll have an official announcement up in a moment but let me clarify that you guys shouldn’t feel disheartened that it’s coming to XBLA.
“It’s structured like a full release complete with a pretty damn impressive storyline that expands the originals in some interesting ways,” he added. “I really enjoyed it so I’m sure you all will too!”
