Remedy Entertainment Development Director Markus Maki shot down any ideas that Alan Wake would ever be on the PlayStation 3, despite the news it would finally be coming to the PC platform in 2012. The simple fact is that Remedy legally can’t.
In a Remedy official forums post, Maki stated flatly, “I would like to make it clear that Microsoft funded the production of the first Alan Wake game, and while they were happy for Remedy to now self-publish on PC it is highly unlikely they would want to see the game on a competing console. While we do own the Alan Wake brand, Remedy doesn’t have rights to publish THE Alan Wake on PS3. And technically it would be significantly more difficult to do than the PC version.”
Remedy announced that Alan Wake would be hitting the PC in early 2012 last week, and will include all of the DLC that was released for the Xbox 360 version.
