Alan Wake, originally planned as a PC and Xbox 360 game, but later launched as a console exclusive, has finally been announced again for PC.
A Remedy spokesperson couldn't confirm PC-specific features like DirectX 11 support when quizzed by Shacknews, or the game's distribution channels, but the developer did offer one screenshot (right).
It's good news for PC players, although we can't say we're totally surprised. Earlier this week, ninja PC gamers spotted a listing for Alan Wake in Steam's registry, sparking speculation that the title could finally be released on the platform.
Alan Wake's XBLA follow-up, American Nightmare, was announced this weekend.

It was different in a good way and had some great moments, but gameplay got somewhat monotonous.

Ahh I can remeber when it was first announce... A PC exclusive going to take advantage of all the new mod con's likes DX10 quad core, physx. and take place in a fully open world with full building destruction... Man that may of been game of the year instead it went all xboxy and basically turned into a good story without really an great gimmic to wow the public with.

It was never PC only. When it was announced it was for PC and next gen consoles, it then became PC and xbox 360 only then xbox 360 only.

Also Remedy have said as of now they have not confirmed the DLC will come with the game. It could still be DLC for the PC version

Well then guys, we finally got it on PC..
..so how's about we DON'T torrent it so that the developer doesn't end up regretting the decision?

Was gutted when this didn't get released on PC and not sure how bothered I am about it now.
Be interesting to see how well it sells after all this time!
Would love to see Red Dead announced for PC though
