Turn down the lights but keep your flashlight and batteries handy as Xbox 360 unveils “Bright Falls,” a six-part live action series that serves as a thrilling prequel to the mystery unfolding in “Alan Wake.”

Each episode is designed to bring you to the edge of your seat and spur your curiosity with similar eerie and suspenseful cliff-hangers as in the game.

The first two episodes of “Bright Falls” are available for viewing exclusively on Xbox LIVE* and on BrightFalls.com. A new episode will be released each week thereafter, leading up to the shocking conclusion with the final two episodes on May 17.

Shot on location in Oregon, “Bright Falls” is directed by Philip Van whose short films have won over a dozen awards in festivals including the Sundance Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival and more.

Fans of the highly anticipated psychological action thriller are invited to check-in for this thrill ride before Alan Wake’s search to unravel the mystery officially begins on May 20. Furthermore, the Limited Collector’s Edition is designed to resemble a hardcover novel and is packed with special bonus content, a great addition for your bookshelf.

Bringing a fresh style of storytelling in this dynamic new title exclusive to Xbox 360, “Alan Wake” is developed by Remedy Entertainment, the renowned original developers of the successful “Max Payne” series. “Alan Wake” immerses players in an intense and expansive cinematic world that enables players to explore the hyper-realistic and interactive environments.

“Alan Wake” is episode-based with a deeply engaging and suspenseful storyline unveiling new twists and profound character revelations at every turn.
