New Alone in the Dark Announced

Atari announced today that they're working on a new Alone in the Dark game, which is in development for simultaneous release on the Windows and Xbox 360 platforms.

The original Alone in the Dark game (released in 1992) launched the survival-horror gaming genre, which was later picked up by games like Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, and Silent Hill. The series now returns with a survival experience coupled with use of state-of-the-art real-time physics and advanced environmental interaction to deliver an action-orientated experience within an open environment.

"Alone in the Dark is returning to the format that launched survival gaming - the PC - and after nearly a decade and a half of ever-accelerating technological progress, we anticipate that the title will again take the lead on next-generation consoles with the Xbox 360 and PC," said Steve Tucker, Director of Marketing, Atari, Inc. "This is one for gamers to keep an eye on in the coming months as Atari and Eden begin to reveal details that will demonstrate how we will fulfill these promises."

I just hope they get a better storyline for the game than the one they had for the movie.
