Fans of Alan Wake will not receive an update on the sequel this summer, but can look forward to a new TV series and a remastered version of the original game for the Switch. Remedy Entertainment’s creative director Sam Lake today revealed what the franchise has in store during the game’s 12th anniversary † Switch owners can anticipate Alan Wake remastered will be available on Nintendo eShop sometime this fall. The remastered original title is already available on PS5, Xbox and PC.
The original 2010 Alan Wake game – featuring a thriller writer trying to solve the mystery of his wife’s disappearance – has become a cult classic in recent years. Remedy and Microsoft Studios then released Alan Wake’s American Nightmare in 2012. Since then, the franchise has been mostly inactive, but that’s about to change.
Lake revealed that AMC owns the rights to the Alan Wake franchise and will adapt it into a TV series. “We worked together to make a TV show possible. There’s nothing more to share at this time, but we’ll be sure to let you know if there’s anything to report,” Lake said.
Alan Wake 2, many of which were expecting a preview this summer is currently deep in the development phase.
