Last week, just as E3 was winding down and minds were turning towards the other big gaming events of the year, it was reported by just about everybody that Alan Wake had been confirmed to be making an appearance at the Tokyo Game Show.

Well, the team working on Alan Wake has pretty much unconfirmed the confirmation, stating on their message boards that the promotion that seemingly confirmed Mr. Wake’s appearance at TGS was “old news”.

The Microsoft Vista promotion referring to TGS took place in 2007, and is old news – we’ve had the winner over for taking the pictures already.

Sorry for the confusion and possible disappointment, but this was not an annoucement that Wake would be shown at TGS 2008. Remedy’s team is just getting back from a bit of holiday and we haven’t had time to chat with Microsoft on upcoming shows/showings yet.

Are they saying for sure that Alan Wake won’t be at TGS? No. But as usual, the gang at Remedy has done a masterful job in muddying the waters just enough for you to question things. Now, where the hell is Max Payne 3?
