Alone in the Dark coming to Wii and PS2 @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on November 13, 2007

News: Atari spreads the horror to two more consoles.

Atari has announced they will be bringing the next Alone in the Dark game to the PS2 and Wii, in addition to the previously announced versions coming to the PS3, PC and Xbox 360. The game, which was originally scheduled to be released last year, is still without a release date.

The PS2 and Wii versions of Alone in the Dark will be developed by Hydravision, the team behind the upcoming Obscure: The Aftermath. They will also not be mere ports of the more advanced PC/PS3/Xbox 360 version. According to Atari, Hydravision is working closely with Eden Games to make sure the games include many of the same gameplay features.

The Wii version will also (naturally) include Wii-specific controls designed for the Wiimote and Nunchuk.

УRealising the enormous ambition of Alone in the Dark is a huge technological challenge, which becomes even more demanding on Wii and PlayStation 2,Ф said Mathias Hautefort, Executive Vice President of publishing and production, Atari. УHowever, we're certain players will be impressed with what Hydravision have achieved on the two consoles, not least with the Wii game which is perfectly adapted to the gameplay thanks to the console's unique controllers.Ф

We'll have more on Alone in the Dark soon.
