Remedy has announced their upcoming Xbox 360 thriller will now be coming to the UK and Europe on May 14.
The game was originally set for a release on May 21 in Europe with a US release on the 18th. The US date will remain the same, giving users in the UK and Europe a four day head start over our friends across the pond.
May 21st is also the day two other big titles are set to hit the shelves in the PAL region, Red Dead Redemption and Split/Second, so shifting Alan Wake earlier here makes sense.

ALAN WAKE STEPS INTO THE LIGHT EARLY IN EUROPE
The psychological action thriller, exclusive to Xbox 360, will be in stores across Europe from 14th May
LONDON – 7 April 2010 – Microsoft is delighted to announce that Alan Wake will be hitting stores across Europe on Friday 14th May – a full week ahead of its original release date.
“Fans in the UK have been crying out to get their hands on Alan Wake since it was first announced and we’re thrilled to be able to deliver it to them early,” said Stephen McGill, Director, Xbox & Entertainment, Microsoft UK.
In this long-awaited title, exclusive to Xbox 360, players assume the role of Alan Wake, a best-selling crime writer suffering from writer’s block, who escapes to a small town only to experience the mysterious disappearance of his wife. An intense psychological thriller from Remedy, the creators of Max Payne, Alan Wake looks to raise the bar for future games, creating a true cinematic experience.
Rated BBFC 15, Alan Wake will be available for an estimated retail price of £49.99.
