We knew it was coming in February, but now we have an official release date and price for Alan Wake's American Nightmare. The game will be released exclusively on Xbox LIVE on February 22nd for 1200 MS Points ($15). Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is being developed as a standalone game for Xbox LIVE Arcade, so you will not need to own the original game to play.

“The main story mode in Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is part of the ‘Night Springs’ TV show fiction and offers an exaggerated pulp action adventure where the horrors of reality have the all too easy habit of coming true. Alan Wake finds himself stuck in an altered reality filled with dangerous shadows; he must leap into action and pursue his evil doppelganger, Mr. Scratch, across the Arizona mesa towards the town of Night Springs. Scratch, a supernatural serial killer, has his evil plans set on Wake’s wife, Alice. Wake must learn to control reality itself and unravel the secret to Mr. Scratch’s demise while using the power of light to put an end to the darkness.”
