In the recently announced Remastered of Alan Wake, the player accompanies the fictional horror author Alan Wake on an experience that resembles the young adult book Inkheart: Some particularly shocking stories from his works become true and the darkness becomes a power that our protagonist can only stop with the help of light from a flashlight and a lot of firepower.
The darkness is everywhere...
But when can you, as the owner of X Box One / Series, PS 4 and 5 or PC, dive back into the darkness again?
Current rumors, triggered by the listing of a Taiwanese dealer, are already talking about October 5 as the release date on PlayStation and X Box. The listing disappeared again, but brand new information from the manufacturer Remedy promises a release this autumn.
Sam Lake, Creative Director of Remedy, said according to playfront.de that it was "the original experience that so many players fell in love with all those years ago" and that they did not want to change the player experience, but wanted to bring the graphics including character models and cutscenes up to date.
Alan Wake: Remastered will contain the revised original title as well as the two add-ons "The Signal" and "The Writer", but Lake remained silent about a specific release date. But this must happen soon, because autumn is about to begin. The price is still unclear, but the rumor mill is bubbling.
Epic Games is appearing as the publisher for the new Wake, which gives hope, as the original was already a classic and Epic has a legendary reputation. PlayStation-affiliated console fans are looking forward to Alan Wake: Remastered in particular, as the original title was denied to Sony players. It remains to be seen whether it is just as eerie-beautiful to lead Alan and his wife Alice through Bright Falls again. The many references to numerous horror authors will probably remain. In addition to these references and the expansions to the main game, the female sheriff Sarah Breaker and the annoying deputy sheriffs will probably also be represented in the game.
For whom is Alan Wake: Remastered worth it?
The reissue will transport old veterans who were already in Bright Falls in May 2010 into nostalgia, but also has the potential to collect young players who were too young back
