Remedy Entertainment revealed new details today on Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, its upcoming Alan Wake spin-off for Xbox LIVE Arcade.
American Nightmare, published by Microsoft and due in Q1 2012, will include an arcade mode called “Fight till Dawn,” where Wake is tasked with surviving a night of enemy onslaughts, racking up points in the process. It’ll offer “loads of new enemies,” a “deep arsenal of weapons” (such as flare guns, nail guns, and Uzis), and safe havens in the struggle to survive.
The game’s story mode centers in on Alan, stuck in an altered reality filled with shadows and an evil doppelganger of himself, Mr. Scratch. He must trek across the Arizona mesa towards the town of Night Springs, where he must stop Mr. Scratch, who has “evil plans” for Alan’s wife, Alice.
An extended version of the game’s announcement trailer can be seen below. The first set of screenshots can be found at the gallery.
