More spooks, more chills, more thrills, more Alan Wake--DRM-free only on GOG.com!

Save up to 25% when you preorder Alan Wake's American Nightmare! Buy it alone for just $13.49--or pick it up with the original Alan Wake and save an additional 15%, which makes your preorder price just $11.24! Don’t worry, if you already bought Alan Wake on GOG.com, you’ll get the additional 15% discount added automatically. ;)

If you loved Alan Wake--the award-winning cinematic blend of horror and action that has wowed gamers on both the Xbox 360 and PC--you’ll love everything about the stand-alone sequel Alan Wake: American Nightmare. With a full-fledged story mode and a pulse-pounding survival mode, this game has what it takes to appeal to both horror junkies and action fans alike.

The story of Alan Wake's American Nightmare continues with mystery writer Alan Wake taking the fight against evil to a new level as he struggles to defeat his evil double and change the very nature of reality. With the same tight pacing and plot that has made Alan Wake one of the best action horror games ever made, American Nightmare delivers on cinematic horror on a whole new level.

Meanwhile, if action gaming is more your thing, the survival mode where you must stay alive, using the innovative Fight with Light mechanic, throughout the long and lonely night. Can you survive until sunrise? It’s a tough challenge, so sharpen up those reflexes, turn out the lights, and prepare yourself for a chillingly good time.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare will be released on the 22nd of May. Preorder before then and save 10%--or save 25% if you own Alan Wake or purchase it along with American Nightmare!

The very first "new" release here on GOG that I did not already own in one form or another, preordered already. :)

You people really know how to make a guy stay broke.

Anyways, there's a first for everything: me pre-ordering a game.

I must admit that I'm not even sure how much I'll enjoy this game (I presume I'll think it is ok, that's all), but in this case the "support" aspect is quite heavy in my decision. Ie., I'll try to show both Remedy and GOG that this (and the first Alan Wake) DRM-free releases make sense.

Come to think of it, maybe I should have preordered Grimrock as well...

TheEnigmaticT: March, May. It's all the same month. :">
Happens to me all the time as well, I never even noticed the typo. My subconscious instantly interpreted it as May. Perhaps it's a Polish thing.

But if you guys announce "Marx Payne" there's gonna be no excuse.

GOG - Break out your wallet and buy 50 games

I'm liking the previous one so far, but this one seems to be a lot sillier judging from the screenshots. Like it just became best buddies with Redneck Rampage. Not sure if that's better or not; I guess i'll stay on the fence for a while.

Great addendum for the Alan Wake announcement. However, I wanted to say one thing.

Alan Wake series is designed as a mystery episodic series, which is one of the most risky narrative models you can use. We all know how TV series end up being prematurely canceled if unsuccessful or artificially stretched if successful. And if the series is about mystery we can have a total trainwreck like Lost.

I'm sorry Remedy, but until you can assure me that the series will end and will end properly I wont play nor buy any future Alan Wake content. You are doing a good job and I'm optimist with this, but I'm burned out of series that end like shit because the scriptwriters were improvising or have pointless sequels or do not even end because they run out of money or they feel like developing other projects.

Remember Lord of the Rings? That's how you do it.

I get your point, but I think that video games are a bit different endeavour. They're more about gameplay than just story. If gameplay is fun then I think it is still worth to play the game, because the story is more like an addition than the main concern. Still, it depends on what you expect...

i dont quite understand the 9 night springs episodes in the extras for this, as i dont remember there being any in the game (i've done it on the xbox) thought there are 9 tv things you can play, theyre interactions with the antagonist, would i be right in assuming thats what they actually are?

Well, I recently read in a review of American Nightmare that Remedy have indeed problems because Alan Wake didn't sell so well and instead of creating a real sequel they created the rather humble "American Nightmare" as a downloadable thing. So there's not much space for optimism here.

But comparing TV shows or games inspired by them to The Lord of the Rings is kinda ridiculous in my eyes. The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy was based on a legendary trilogy of books and additionally those books were originally written as one and only split apart because the publisher said that it's too big. You really can't use any of that as an example for how to properly create a series.

On the other hand, development and marketing costs were covered in 2 days after PC release (see this article, for example), so there is a hope.

I'm more sad they sold rights to Max Payne to Rockstar Games which means the next installment will be at best a mediocre title and no strong female character as Mona in the game :(.

Hm, can I trust an article that says "Alan Wake was never really ever meant to be a PC title" while that's the platform that the game was originally being developed for? Btw: the article only says that the PC version covered the marketing and production costs for the PC version. The question is how high they were in the first place - they certainly weren't comparable to what Remedy had spent on the original Xbox release and so it doesn't tell us anything about how successful the franchise was as a whole. Personally I still believe that they're ending the series with American Nightmare (at least for now) and will create a new IP that seems more promising in terms of commercial success.
