Alone in the Dark pushed back to June
Atari wants game looking its best.
Atari has told Eurogamer that it is pushing the release of Alone in the Dark back from May to June.
The Xbox 360, PC, Wii and PS2 versions will now be available on 20th June in Europe and 24th June in the US. A PS3 offering is still "to follow".
The reason for the delay is because Atari and Eden want to offer the best possible game they can. The extra month will allow for additional polish and any bugs to be ironed out.
Atari was keen to get across that it has had positive responses from all who have seen the title, which is very much a flagship game for the publisher.
Former Sony bosstype Phil Harrison joined Atari at the beginning of March, bigging up "the best opportunity that exists in the industry today to redefine, refocus and re-energise an incredible brand, an incredible group of people towards that networked future".
We saw Alone in the Dark at the end of February and heavily recommended it be on your radar as one to keep an eye on.
Head over to our Alone in the Dark preview to find out more.

Anyway, I'd rather Atari delayed the game as long as they need to if it means we end up with a better quality game. In fact, seeing as the days are longest in June and Alone In The Dark is likely best played at night then I'd sooner they pushed it back to September/October time. Could have been the perfect Hallloween game!

If you read The PS3 version is coming after so it shouldn't be hurt by MGS4
Edit - Darren beat me to it

I've got loads of stuff to play until then, this is one of my most wanted of the year so it's good to see they want it to be as good as it can possibly be.

Hopefully the PS3 version will turn up, just as i'm finishing Metal Gear and GTA.
Big Phil should hopefully give them the encouragement they need to make the PS3 version at least the equall of the 360 and PC versions.

Actually, what I really mean is: is the Wii version going to be remotely worth thinking about or is it going to be another "like the PS2 version but with added waggle"?

There is GTA4, MGS4, Ninja Gaiden 2 to cope in next few months and was planning on getting X360 version of Alone in the Dark but for this occasion I might as well be better off with PS3 if in will be in autumn! Also too many games to occupy my limited hours and no I m not introvert and certainly doesnt have any mental healths related to my unhealthy occupations with the gaming!
