DSO Gaming reports that it has uncovered an entry in the Steam registry that suggests the downloadable Alan Wake-spin off Alan Wake’s American Nightmare will be making its way to Steam in the foreseeable future. More information is included after the jump.

The PC-version of the original Alan Wake was also leaked through an entry in the Steam registry in December last year. A PC version for Alan Wake’s American Nightmare has never been announced by developer Remedy Entertainment. In the past, games that have appeared in these registries were released within a couple of months.

The full registry entry as it has been uncovered by DSO Gaming is as follows:

The Elder-Geek.com review for Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is available here.

It took Remedy Entertainment almost two years to bring the original Alan Wake to PC, but if the rumors are true it may take them less than 6 months for them to bring American Nightmare from Xbox Live Arcade to Steam. Are you Elder Geeks happy that Remedy seems to be bringing this to PC much faster than the previous installment, or would you rather just have they focused on a new episode in the series?
