After 11 years since the mythical Alan Wake Coming to Xbox 360 and PC, Remedy's fantastic game will return to stores with a remastered version that will offer 4K graphics and new platforms on which to play it. And it is that this Alan Wake Remastered will be available for PC on the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S and, for the first time, on PS4 and PS5.
A secret with voices
The arrival of an Alan Wake remaster was something that had been talked about for a long time. With the launch of Control, Remedy left some Easter Eggs along the way with which to honor one of his great works, and it was not until 2019 when Remedy was able to recover the rights to Alan Wake, until then in owned by Microsoft.
Those from Redmond were not too interested in giving life to a second installment that could solve some of the unknowns left by the original game, so it was left there in oblivion after garnering excellent reviews with its release on Xbox 360 and later on PC . But Remedy did not forget their great game, and after completing the exclusivity period, they bought the rights from Microsoft.
We can't thank you enough for the love and support you've shown #AlanWake these 11 years… but I can try.
I wrote you a letter on our lovely, long-time fan site, @TheSuddenStop.

A remastering is less than nothing
The arrival of the remastering might not go down too well with the fans, since perhaps they expect a new release with the power to understand many of the unknowns that remained in the first game. But at least it will serve to refresh your memory and enjoy it again for what it is, a great game. Of course, the remastering will include the DLCs that were released in its day, The Signal y The Writer, so you will be able to play more than you might initially expect.
Are we going to have a sequel?
Considering that this remaster will be available on PS5 and PS4 for the first time, Remedy may want to cement the gaming experience and offer the story to those who couldn't make it back in the day, thus paving the way for a second one. part that many have been waiting for 11 years. Will that finally be Remedy's move?
With the success of Control, the company is in a position to play a new card with which to surprise, and that would be a very appropriate one for us at the time. We'll see if with the arrival of the remastering they have something more to tell, although everything indicates that the idea will be to unite Control and Alan Wake in an upcoming game, since both games take place in the same universe, so the result could be more interesting than we might expect.
When will the Alan Wake remaster be playable?
The remastering of Alan Wake will arrive next fall on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, PS4 and PS5, although at the moment they have not specified the specific date on which the game will be available in stores.
