After a number of leaks and rumours, Alan Wake Remastered has been officially announced for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC later this year.
Sam Lake, the Creative Director at Remedy Entertainment, made the announcement by publishing an open letter on an Alan Wake fan site. The Remaster is being published by Epic Games and is yet to be given a set release date, but a Spring 2021 window was given. Here’s what Sam Lake had to say within the open letter:
This is for you. 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. And that matters a lot to us. We love this game as well. I love this game. The remaster is coming because of your support for Alan Wake through the years. 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 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. So thank you, Rachel, and everyone else, for supporting Remedy and our games through all these years.
Originally released on the Xbox 360 back in 2010, the remaster of this psychological thriller will feature 4K visuals on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and will include optional narration by Sam Lake.
