It was planned that these adventures of the writer Alan Wash will be included in the Survival-mode of the original Alan Wake. Then the tasks were completely action-oriented, even arcade. Over time, the developers decided that it would be interesting to leave the missions almost without the plot. Ultimately, the amount of added content allowed to turn the resulting product into a full -fledged project.
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare will be released on Xbox Live Arcade on February 22, 2012.
