Sam Lake, Creative Director, Remedy Entertainment I hope you enjoy it, either again, like meeting an old friend, or for the first time. But the visuals all around, including the character model of Alan Wake himself and the cinematics, have been updated and improved with some choice next-generation upgrades.Īlan Wake Remastered will launch this fall. I am excited to hear what you think about Alan Wake.Īlan Wake Remastered is the original experience you fell in love with all those years ago. We are thrilled about the opportunity to bring the remastered version out for a new generation of platforms. The original game was only available for Xbox 360 and a few years later, PC. I also love it because it turned out to be a very hard game to make, with many struggles along the way, and that makes me even prouder of what we achieved. And, instead of a focused one-note horror fare, it was this strange, even wasteful mix of horror, humor and supernatural mystery. Alan Wake also contained the mystery of forests and lakes, which are precious to me as a Finn. Alan Wake, being a writer himself, gave me an opportunity to use what I do and love as a writer as an element in the story. This story and character were personal in many ways. This is what we as a team, and I as the lead writer of Alan Wake, set out to create for you a long time ago. Mysteries are magical to me, they hold a promise, and I am often happier with that than a final answer. Stories that make me think excite me, stories where everything is not freely handed out to me or wrapped up neatly, where I am left with a mystery. So thank you, Rachel, and everyone else, for supporting Remedy and our games through all these years.Įarly on in the game Alan Wake says, “In a horror story the victim keeps asking why – but there can be no explanation, and there shouldn’t be one, the unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest, and it’s what we remember in the end.” This is an idea close to my heart. The Remedy community wouldn’t be what it is today without The Sudden Stop, and we wanted to show our gratitude by telling you about Alan Wake Remastered right here. That is why we felt it was fitting to make this announcement here, at The Sudden Stop, which has been an integral part of the Remedy community since back in 2012, when it started out as an Alan Wake fansite. The remaster is coming because of your support for Alan Wake through the years. Alan Wake came out over 11 years ago, and through that time, you have told us again and again how much you love the game, the story, the characters, and the lore.
ALAN WAKE 2 ON PS4 CONFIRMED PC
PC on the Epic Games Store, Xbox, and for the first time ever, PlayStation, this generation and the previous one. Confirmed, announced, coming up in partnership with Epic Games Publishing. I’m beyond happy to tell you that at the time of writing this, Alan Wake Remastered is nearing its completion. Sam Lake took to the popular Alan Wake fansite, Thesuddenstop, to make the announcement and wrote the following I really hope the second game is Alan Wake 2, or a follow-up to Control.

Since the release of Control, Remedy hasn’t released or announced any games until today. What’s interesting is when Remedy signed their agreement with Epic Games back in 2016, the contract was Epic Games to publish Remedy’s next two unannounced video games. Hopefully, they’re correct, as October is right around the corner. However, the previous leaks pointed to an October 5th, 2021 release date.

There hasn’t been a release date for the remaster as of yet. This would give Remedy the overhead to do more. Hopefully, it will be the Northlight Engine that was used in Quantum Break and Control. There wasn’t any mention of what game engine the remaster would utilize. Remedy’s creative director Sam Lake detailed exactly what the Alan Wake Remaster would include 4K support for all platforms, the previous DLC released, and a new commentary track from Same Lake. More importantly, after the teases of Alan Wake showing up in Control, perhaps this could mean that a sequel to Alan Wake could be in the works as well. After being teased last week, Remedy has officially confirmed that the Alan Wake Remastered is coming to the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
