Alan Wake Remastered Arrives To PlayStation For The First Time On October 5th

Alan Wake Remas­tered was offi­cial­ly announced dur­ing the PlaySta­tion Show­case today, which gave us a new trail­er show­ing off the revamped visu­als. Sony also revealed the game’s release date as Octo­ber 5th.

This release date was pre­vi­ous leaked before it was offi­cial­ly revealed. Alan Wake Remas­tered is a 4K ver­sion of the orig­i­nal game, which fea­tures both of its DLC expan­sions: The Sig­nal and The Writer. The trail­er showed off the visu­als with the game’s main sto­ry cin­e­mat­ics, as well as it’s com­bat sys­tem. You can check out the video below.

This is the first time Alan Wake has ever been on a PlaySta­tion con­sole. The game was first released back in 2010, only appear­ing on Xbox 360 and PC.

The remas­ter’s announce­ment comes after a resur­gence of inter­est in the game due to the ties it shares with Rem­e­dy Enter­tain­men­t’s most recent game, Con­trol. East­er eggs from Con­trol’s DLC, AWE, direct­ly con­nects the two games. Rem­e­dy only recent­ly acquired the pub­lish­ing rights for Alan Wake in 2019, spark­ing rumors of Alan Wake 2 being in devel­op­ment. Since Alan Wake Remas­tered is now on the scene, Rem­e­dy just might be work­ing on fur­ther­ing Alan’s story.

The remas­ter is set to release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (through Epic Games Store).
