Alan Wake is one of those games that's held everyone's interest since it was first announced in 2005, even though its intended platforms have changed over the years. Originally, there was talk that it would be released on the PS3, but that was before Microsoft snapped up the publishing rights to the game and thereby limited it to 360 and PC versions. Now, however, it turns out that a PC incarnation of the game may not be in the cards.

Speaking to Edge Magazine, Sam Lake, the game's lead writer, revealed that Remedy Entertainment is fully focused on getting the game finished in time for its Spring 2010 release date. However, it doesn't sound like a game for Windows is currently a priority for the developer. "We are fully concentrated on the Xbox 360 version," he said in the interview. "Other than that the plans are up in the air and open. Once we get this version done we’ll see."

When Edge asked Lake specifically about a PC version, he responded in as noncommittal a way as possible. "As I said, the plans are open, and once we’re done with the 360 version we’ll evaluate the situation and see what makes sense."

Alan Wake is currently set to premiere at an unspecified point next spring, putting players in the role of the titular protagonist as he searches for his missing wife. The game is set to be released in an episodic format, with Alan Wake's plot providing the first season of a larger story that will hopefully be played out over future seasons.
