tari today announced they will be releasing Alone in the Dark for the Wii and PS2 along side the launch for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. The Wii and PS2 versions will be developed by Hydravision (Obscure, Obscure 2) and follow the same story as the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions.

The versions for Wii and PS2 have been developed in parallel specifically to take full advantage of each console’s capabilities. On the Wii, the control system is specially designed to make full use of the Remote and Nunchuck to manipulate objects in real-time.

“Realising the enormous ambition of Alone in the Dark is a huge technological challenge, which becomes even more demanding on Wii and PlayStation 2,” said Mathias Hautefort, Executive Vice President of publishing and production, Atari. “However, 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.”

However, the big question is - when will Alone in the Dark be released? The last time we saw the game Atari was just featuring the tech demo. Is Alone in the Dark even slated for a 2008 release?
