Alan Wake's been dormant since 2010, but he's not going to start dreaming until "the middle of the first quarter of 2012." That's the release window for his XBLA spinoff <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/alan-wakes-american-nightmare"><em>Alan Wake's American Nightmare</em></a>, according to an announcement issued today.<br />
<br />
Also announced today: a new "arcade mode" called "Fight till Dawn," in which the beleaguered writer is swarmed by enemies over the course of a night, and attempts to build up a score by taking them out with a a variety of weapons, "from old stalwarts like the flare gun to wild new favorites like the nail gun and old school Remedy favorites like the Uzi."<br />

Online leaderboards will give you a chance to see who among your friends is best at withstanding psychological horror. We hope you never have a reason to use that information.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/alan-wakes-american-nightmare-12-19-2011/">Alan Wake's American Nightmare (12/19/2011)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/alan-wakes-american-nightmare-12-19-2011/#4684377"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/12/awanimage2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/alan-wakes-american-nightmare-12-19-2011/#4684378"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/12/awanimage3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/alan-wakes-american-nightmare-12-19-2011/#4684379"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/12/awanimage4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/alan-wakes-american-nightmare-12-19-2011/#4684380"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/12/awanimage5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/alan-wakes-american-nightmare-12-19-2011/#4684382"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/12/awanimage7_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/19/alan-wakes-american-nightmare-begins-mid-q1-new-fight-till/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Alan Wake's American Nightmare begins 'mid-Q1,'  new 'Fight till Dawn' mode announced</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/19/alan-wakes-american-nightmare-begins-mid-q1-new-fight-till/">Alan Wake's American Nightmare begins 'mid-Q1,'  new 'Fight till Dawn' mode announced</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:30:00 EST.
