Digital-only Alan Wake 2 confirmed

MCV Staff 4th November 2011 Business News

Microsoft will at next month’s Spike TV Video Game Awards announce a surprise successor to Xbox 360 horror title Alan Wake.

Furthermore the platform holder has confirmed that the game will be a digital-only release on Xbox Live.

Of course, this doesn’t mean retail is left out of the loop completely – clued up retailers like GAME are still likely to sell the game in-store in the form of a code that can be used to download the game.

Also debuting at the awards show will be a brand new title from BioWare, as well as some long-awaited new footage of Konami’s Metal Gear Solid: Rising.
