This isnt a situation where they asked a company like Square to make Kingdom Hearts an Epic exclusive. But the only reason Alan Wake II is even getting made is because Epic agreed to finance and publish the thing. None of us like the Epic Store, and none of us want to use it. Sep 7, 2021, 6:00 AM PDT Remedy Entertainment’s 2010 cult classic Alan Wake is getting a remastered version for multiple platforms. Also by now being this close to release some news would have leaked by now or Remedy would have told all by now. It will be an Epic Games Store exclusive on release, and it might, or might not come on Steam after a year. Look, it sucks that the game is an Epic exclusive on PC. So most own Alan Wake that claimed it and didn't pay a dime. What next - the whole of Final Fantasy XIV and all of its expansions before Dawntrail? Shagging and bathing as Geralt (another Fortnite skin) whenever The Witcher 4 comes out? The whole of Starfield in a Fortnite map? I’d love to see it happen, honestly.Īnyway, you can go and check out Alan Wake: Flashback for yourself by plugging island code 3426-5561-3374 into Fortnite’s Discover mode, or find it in the game’s menu.Īlan Wake 2 is out on October 27th, exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC - no doubt a helpful factor in making this crossover happen. Only reason I think this is a 100 no, that it will NOT be free for owners of the original is due to Epic gave away copies of Alan Wake and American Nightmare for FREE. As a playful way of recapping the story in under half an hour in a free game, I think this is good fun. There is an actual Alan Wake Remastered that came out a couple of years ago, but not everyone has the time or money to play through a whole video game just before its sequel arrives. While there is an Alan Wake skin headed to Fortnite, because of course there is, it won’t arrive until October 26th, the day before Alan Wake 2’s release date - so you’ll have to make do with squinting at John Wick and pretending it’s the same bloke in a suit for the meantime. Running around Wake’s lakeside cabin and the haunted town of Bright Falls as Naruto, a buff cat person or a naked sentient banana in Fortnite, meanwhile, makes the game’s goofier moments look like a masterclass in gravitas now. While Alan Wake’s very I-am-a-writer observations could become a bit silly at times, it was still an effective spooky thriller thanks to its shadowy levels and genuinely unsettling atmosphere. Of course, this being a Fortnite creation made in the battle royale game’s custom map mode, it doesn’t quite have the same vibes as the original Alan Wake. Honestly, as far as ways to remember what the heck happened in the first Alan Wake go, I kind of like it - it beats reading Wikipedia plot summaries, anyway. Alan Wake Remastered offers the complete experience, with the main game and its two story expansions - The Signal and The Writer. I did enjoy Control btw, a shame I probably won't play other games from Remedy, at least not AW Remaster and not AW2.Who had ‘playable remake of Alan Wake inside Fortnite’ on their 2023 bingo card? Nobody? Well, nevermind: either way, you can now relive the events of Remedy’s battery-powered horror game before its sequel comes out later this month.Īlan Wake: Flashback is billed as a “reimagining” of the 2010 game that follows its entire storyline, except it only takes 20 minutes to see through to the end. apparently, as they don't get royalties from all the unsold copies. I would have been interested, but since I get Steam Wallet cards as gifts from friends, I don't see the need of putting extra cash on the Epic Store. Would there have been a better financial reception if it would be available on Steam probably. Would have been the Remaster happening without Epic, who knows? Epic covered all production costs, so luckily Remedy is not hurting on that end. But alas that is probably what is happening if you are willingly skipping one of the largest storefront. Alan Wake Remastered will be released in autumn 2021. Reads to me, that the venture for Epic Games is not paying the same for Remedy. The former exclusive game of the Xbox 360 receives graphic improvements in the new edition, appears for PC and all current consoles apart from the Nintendo Switch and is financed by Epic Games. Originally posted by "Remedy Entertainment Business Review": We had no royalty revenue from Alan Wake Remastered during the first quarter as Epic Games Publishing has yet to recoup its development and marketing expenses for the game.
