Who was excited for Alan Wake way back in 2005, when it was first announced? This news writer admits that he’d never heard of it until 2007…after which he’d never heard of it again. Still, the strange thriller about a journalist who kills monsters with flashlights sounded pretty intense.

Still, the game’s future looked grim after a while, having been announced in 2005, but still not having been released. Thankfully, things are looking up for Mr. Wake; developed Remedy Games has just made an announcement that signifies good tidings for Alan.
