If you’re like me, you’ve chomping for any and all news related to the next game set in the Alan Wake franchise, and in mid-December, we’re finally going to be able to see what Remedy has been working on since the original game’s release last year.

The next Alan Wake game, rumoured to be called Alan Wake: Night Springs, will get its first official reveal and announcement on December 10th during this year’s edition of the Spike Videogame Awards, while new information on the title has recently emerged thanks to Xbox frontman Major Nelson.

In a recent Twitter post, Nelson wrote:

“We can confirm that this new “Alan Wake” game will be a fully standalone experience and released on Xbox LIVE.”

This is an interesting snippet because Remedy’s Oskari Hakkinen earlier this year claimed that the next Alan Wake title, which isn’t a sequel to the first game, would not be downloadable.

Lots of awesome games were revealed at last year’s Spike VGAs, with announcements for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, Prototype 2 and SSX all taking place, with the debut Uncharted 3 trailer also being hosted at the event - relive the magic of last year with this collection of trailers from the show.

Metal Gear Solid Rising and a new Bioware game will also make a showing at the Spike VGAs 2011 - what else do you hope to see at the show this year? Tune in on December 10th!
