Atari has today announced that its upcoming Survival horror action title, Alone in the Dark, is to launch for Wii and PlayStation 2. These versions join the previously announced Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions.

Developed by Hydrovision, Alone in the Dark for Wii and PS2 will feature the same story as the next-gen versions, in which hero Edward Carnby must uncover an earth-shattering secret hidden in New York’s Central Park.

The Wii and PS2 versions have been developed in parallel specifically to take full advantage of each console’s capabilities, promising to push the hardware and incorporate many of the features found in next-gen versions.

The Wii game will be specifically adapted to make full use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, making it possible to manipulate objects in real-time.

Realising the enormous ambition of Alone in the Dark is a huge technological challenge, which becomes even more demanding on Wii and PlayStation 2,” said Mathias Hautefort, Executive Vice President of publishing and production, Atari. “However, we’re certain players will be impressed with what Hydravision have achieved on the two consoles, not least with the Wii game which is perfectly adapted to the gameplay thanks to the console’s unique controllers.

Alone in the Dark is expected to be released in 2008. For more on the game, including lots of screens and videos, head over here.
