Atari Confirms Alone In The Dark On PS2 And Wii

Officials from Atari have confirmed that forthcoming survival horror title Alone in the Dark will launch on Wii and PlayStation 2, as well as the previously announced Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions - although no release date has been confirmed for the franchise reboot. The fifth entry in the Alone in the Dark series, the original edition of which was a major influence on Capcom’s Resident Evil, has received positive advance press, but a final release date has yet to be officially announced. The original Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions are being developed by Infogrames-owned Eden Games, creators of Test Drive Unlimited. The Wii and PlayStation 2 versions, however, will be developed by Hydravision, the French developer best known for the Obscure survival horror series. "Realizing the enormous ambition of Alone in the Dark is a huge technological challenge," said Hudson Piehl, vice president of production at Atari. "Hydravision has risen to the occasion to ensure Wii and PlayStation 2 owners will be impressed by the gripping gameplay experience."
