Alan Wake may not have been Microsoft's best-selling Xbox 360 exclusive, but the Remedy-developed survival horror action adventure will be returning. That fact was confirmed at the Spike TV Video Game Awards tonight, with the announcement of Alan Wake: American Nightmare.

Alan Wake as a paranormal psycho killer? Superb. Alan Wake as a novelist? Not so much.

Titular hero Alan Wake is again the star of the show as the writer journeys to another remote town. According to the trailer, Wake is facing off against a new supernatural villain, Mr. Scratch. The two do battle using the powers of light (for Wake) and darkness (for Scratch).

The trailer did not indicate when Alan Wake: American Dream will see release, nor on which platforms. However, the title had previously been pegged as an Xbox Live Arcade release.

Stay tuned to GameSpot for more from tonight's VGAs.
