Microsoft Not To Publish Next Alan Wake Project?
Alan Wake developer Remedy is already going forward with a downloadable title called Alan Wake: Night Springs, but that doesn't necessarily mean that original publisher Microsoft is publishing the project.
Joystiq caught up with Microsoft studios head Phil Spencer, who said that Microsoft hasn't signed Remedy's project just yet. Although he said he'd love to work with the team again, he admitted the first game, "didn't sell as well as we would have liked." Still, Spencer did say that Microsoft and Remedy are having "ongoing conversations."
The first Alan Wake only sold under 150,000 copies in the U.S. in its first two weeks on sale according to the NPD.
