Alone in the Dark Delayed By Atari’s Financial Woes

2006 is not the Year of Atari. In fact, its financial standing turned out to be one of its worst on record. And one of its victims is Alone in the Dark for the PS3 and the Xbox 360.

The company announced Alone in the Dark will be on hold until the 2008 fiscal year (April 2007 to March 2008) hoping it would be a big hit next year. But aside from the longer wait, fans of Alone in the Dark,  those who don’t own an Xbox 360 or have plans of buying a PS3 can look forward to playing the game on other unnamed formats.

On the brighter side, Atari will roll out Test Drive Unlimited for the Xbox 360 right on sked next month while the PSP version launches in November. Atari is crossing its fingers TDU will bring in much needed cash.
