Atari today announced that its upcoming apocalyptic action game Alone in the Dark will launch for Wii and PlayStation 2 in addition to Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and Windows platform. Alone in the Dark will continue the legacy started by the first Alone in the Dark game with state-of-the-art technology driving a captivating and entertaining original gameplay experience.

Developed by Hydravision, Alone in the Dark for Wii and PlayStation 2 follows the same story as the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 system and PC version, where over the course of one apocalyptic night, hero Edward Carnby must uncover the secret hidden in New York’s iconic Central Park.

Atari says that developer Hydravision has tackled the advanced technology driving Alone in the Dark on Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and PC head-on, using the company’s wealth of experience and proven technology. The Wii and Playstation 2 system versions have been developed in parallel to optimize each console’s capabilities. On the Wii, the control system is specially adapted to make full use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to manipulate objects in real-time, a key gameplay feature of Alone in the Dark, enhancing the player’s immersion in the experience.

Alone in the Dark also promises to deliver a new level of narrative intensity, packed with action, plot twists and nail-biting cliff-hangers. With a story written by Eden Games and scripted by New York Times best-selling writer Lorenzo Carcaterra, Alone in the Dark sees one of video gaming’s original innovators return to deliver an outstanding action gaming experience.
