Alone in the Dark in May for 360 and PC, PS3 in 2008

Alone in the Dark revival Xbox 360 PS3 WII

Atari has confirmed that their Alone in the Dark revival has been delayed into May for the Xbox 360 and PC (as well as Wii and PS2), reports CVG. And what about the PlayStation 3 version? No specific date was mentioned other than "this year," indicating it may be yet another troubled PS3 version of a multiplatform game.

The delay rumors kicked off when our own Games for Windows magazine listed Alone in the Dark's release date as September in a feature on infamously delayed games appearing in the latest issue. The game's release was originally supposed to be in March, and Atari initially denied it would be pushed back.

In an interview with French newspaper Les Echos (translated by MCV), Patrick Leleu, chairmen and CEO of Infogrames (which owns a controlling stake in Atari) said the game was the delayed to have time for extra polish. "I have made a decision to release the new Alone in the Dark opus in May. Its development is nearing completion but some scenes in this fully immersive game deserve to be more polished and we will not take any shortcuts," he said.

So buck up, fans of classic survival horror -- May is at least better than September, right?
