Remedy Entertainment have today announced that Alan Wake will be coming to the PC in early 2012, and will include 'The Signal' and 'The Writer' downloadable content.

Remedy is a developer with deep roots in the PC space (Death Rally and Max Payne 1 and 2), so the game will have the high resolution polish that fans will expect.

First launched on the Xbox 360 last May, Alan Wake tells the story of a best-selling writer suffering from writer’s block. He goes on vacation to the small town of Bright Falls with his wife, Alice, to gain back his creative flow. Shortly upon arrival, Wake finds himself trapped in a nightmare when his wife mysteriously goes missing. He keeps finding pages of a manuscript he apparently wrote, but can’t remember writing. The manuscript is coming true.
