Alan Wake prequel to release April 22nd

Whilst many are keen to get their hands on Alan Wake when it releases next month, you may be able to whet your appetite a little by checking out a prequel for the psychological action thriller that is due to go live on April 22nd.

Just last week, Microsoft announced that the European release date for Alan Wake had been moved forward a week to May 14th.

In regards to the prequel, a magazine advertising campaign for the title reveals, “Before you play the game, watch the prequel. ‘Bright Falls’ premiering 22nd April at xbox.com/AlanWake.”

Heading over to the page in question presents us with a splash page to promote the title that also allows us to see an image that links to “Watch Bright Falls: The Series.” While many may have been hoping for a demo ahead of the title’s May release date, this prequel is seemingly set to encompass several live-action episodes that will lead up to its anticipated launch.

As to their contents or quantity, it would seem that no details have been released – so we’ll be sure to contact Microsoft for any further information.
