Rakuten Taiwan has listed the unannounced Alan Wake Remastered for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series with an October 5 release date. Alan Wake first launched for Xbox 360 in May 2010, followed by PC in February 2012.
In July 2019, Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment announced that publishing rights to the series were returned to it from original publisher Microsoft.
In March 2020, the developer announced that it signed a deal with Epic Games to publish one AAA game and one smaller scale game for next-generation consoles and PC.
In June 2021, Alan Wake Remastered appeared on EpicData, an Epic Games Store data tracker. According to Nico Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad, who has regularly shared accurate information yet to be made public, Alan Wake Remastered will be announced next week—which is the same week Sony Interactive Entertainment plans to host PlayStation Showcase 2021, where it will announce new games coming to PlayStation.
Update: Epic Games Publishing and developer Remedy Entertainment have announced Alan Wake Remastered for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Epic Games Store). It will launch this fall.
In a message on Alan Wake community website The Sudden Stop, writer Sam Lake said, “The original game was only available for Xbox 360 and a few years later, PC. We are thrilled about the opportunity to bring the remastered version out for a new generation of platforms. I am excited to hear what you think about Alan Wake.”
Lake continued, “Alan Wake Remastered is the original experience you fell in love with all those years ago. We did not want to change that. But the visuals all around, including the character model of Alan Wake himself and the cinematics, have been updated and improved with some choice next-generation upgrades.”
