Rumor: Alan Wake: Night Springs Will Be an XBLA Title

"An extremely trusted source has leaked to us that the upcoming Alan Wake: Night Springs will be an Xbox Live Arcade title and not a retail release. We have seen screen caps, but have been asked not to disclose them at this time. We have emailed Microsoft asking for a comment and will update as the situation develops."

[randomlyrossy]

Very excited to hear about this, more Alan Wake is only a good thing!

[user858621]

I have to see how they turn night springs into a game!

[themarriedgamer]

WOW!
more Alan Wake and i don;t hav eto elave the house to get it!

[cain141]

I loved alan wake. It always seemed like a good episodic type of game...

[NukaCola]

They should do Alan wake like Sony did with Siren but make it like episode that you play through. Each one a differnt tale, or maybe a fluid game but broken into chapters through XBLA.

[TOO PAWNED]

Speaking of Siren, I would love to find out what Team Siren is working on. Half of that team worked on first 3 Silent Hill games.

[TheIneffableBob]

I know, right! I hate elaving the house to get things!

[ind1fference]

I have Alan Wake DLC I need to play. I better play it before this game comes out.

[jetlian]

might play the story again too

[Akatosh Fury]

Alan Wake + E3 2011 = Epic Win

[Clumzyagent]

I figured it would be something like this when Remedy claimed the next Alan Wake project wasn't a sequel. Good on them for doing something different.

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

I was hoping for a retail Alan Wake game but I'm just so happy we are seeing more of Alan Wake I don't care what it is at that point. As long as it is a solid game and continues/improves the elements of the first game.

[Counter Strike]

and not 1600.

[lelo2play]

Everybody is hopping for 800 points instead of 1600 points :)

[guigsy]

You say that but if it is 1600 points then it's more likely to be a higher-quality title than if it were 800.

[Convas]

Depends on how much content is in it. Don't think that Co-Op is too far-fetched. Though that may actually be saved for Alan Wake 2.

[tinezedw]

Alan wake it's one of the few good exclusives the xbox 360 has,don't get me wrong i'd love to have it in my ps3 but we already have enough games and losing it would be to much for you guys to handle so keep it.even though we want it,we don't need it.

[Kalowest]

"Alan Wake: Night Springs"
LMAO, i don't know if its ironic, or foreshadowing. In the game Barry said something about AW writing a episode or 2, for the Night Springs TV series.

[guigsy]

Very nice, hopefully it will lead to an Alan Wake 2 next year.

[Convas]

Epic Winning! Can't wait to see what's up! I'll be there on Day one FOR SURE!!!!!

LMAO @ the disagree fairies. Why so serious guys?

WOW. There are A LOT of bitter folks in here. What gives? If this is true, it's great news! I'm guessing folks are mad that this might mean that AW isn't going multiplatform?

[SixShotCop]

Xbox 360 game on N4G = Disagrees
Unfortunately, it's just the way it is.

I absolutely loved Alan Wake so this news is awesome!

[cochise313]

I love Alan Wake. This game has a nice following. I hope they announce AW2 at e3 this year.

LOL @ the thumb downers who haven't experienced the game.

[stealth500k]

well that is a failure

What the 360 needs are retail exclusives. And why are peopel assuming this will lead to a retail game? Theres been no solid evidence of that.

The fact that they choked and are releasing an xbox live title mean they have no confidence.

[unknownhero1123]

"And why are peopel assuming this will lead to a retail game? Theres been no solid evidence of that."

and you have no evidence that it won't! I'm willing to bet it will lead to a retail game. why? Because they wouldn't bother making a xbla game of alan wake if they were abandoning the series to begin with!

[jetlian]

this just to hold us over. its only bee na year since the first 1 so why would 2 be coming so fast anyway

[TheEatingChampagne]

Alan Wake is one of the most amazing games I have ever played..
Games like this are rare that's why more of it is only good

[lochdoun]

Yay, more Alan Wake! The fans have spoken. ;]

[Raven_Nomad]

This is great news, I think Microsoft is pushing Alan Wake big time now, which is a nice change from the first game.

This would be a great way to keep Alan Wake relevant and then hit us with a full sequel next year. Awesome news!

[NinjaSp33d]

YES YES YES=D

[gillri]

vcmon Ive been a big advocate for the PS3 but i love the alan wake games

we need more strong SP narrative experiences with every going shooting and online these days

and the devs of AW praised Heavy Rain also

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

I really enjoyed Alan wake and im excited for more AW.

[Acquiescence]

Always got love for Alan Wake and Remedy.

Edit - But I'll only buy it if it isn't tied to Kinect obviously.

[ExitToExisT]

i will be angry if the gameplay and graphics will be the same. i want some improvements

[shoinan]

Sounds good :)

[_LarZen_]

More Alan Wake is a good thing, but as a XBLA title? Hell no...pleas no..

[THWIP71]

XBLA titles are no longer just small casual games...many are full, retail-style games, like Section 8. The download limit for XBLA games is 2 GB now, which is about 1/3 of the average retail game on 360. Given the way Remedy handled the AW DLC, I could see them creating a very high quality game for XBLA. The best part is, they don't have to worry about used sales or piracy hurting them this time.

[Megaton]

Surprised it took so long for someone to post this, but with the way everyone else was getting agrees for saying the opposite, I suppose it should be expected that everyone else would join that bandwagon.

I want a full retail AW2.

[Rybakov]

Doubt it Alan Wake 2 pray for it

[PandaJenkins]

Oooohhh interesting... gonna have keep my eye out to see if it is true or not.

[buckley]

Solid game. Will be glad to play more of it

[Swoon]

This is exciting! Especially since XBLAFans announced Gotham City Imposters months ago, which turned out to be true.

[NewZealander]

i dont like the sound of this, i loved alan wake, i even bought the collectors edition for my bro, but a XBLA title? seriously? and its not even alan wake but night springs? eh this could be a disaster waiting to happen, count me out if this is true.

[jay2]

Am I the only one that finds it a bad sign when they release what esentualy will be the 2nd A.W game as an Arcade title?

[AngelicIceDiamond]

So its a XBLA release huh well its gonna suck now....perfect -_-
