Alan Wake is an action-adventure game developed by the Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment, in partnership with Microsoft Studios for Xbox 360 and Windows PC. The story features a thriller novelist named Alan Wake uncovering the mysteries behind his wife’s disappearance during their vacation in the fictional town of Bright Falls, all while experiencing the plot of his novel coming to life, one which he can’t remember writing.

However, the game didn’t have a successful sales record, and all the planned sequels were canceled. In 2019, they got the publishing rights for Alan Wake back from Microsoft. Remedy, however, teased the return of the Alan Wake franchise with easter eggs in their 2019 game “Control,” before teasing Alan Wake in Control’s “AWE” expansion.

Remedy Entertainment, however, has not given any date for the release, but has confirmed that the game will launch this fall. Make sure to read the open letter by Sam Lake to the fans, and get ready to head back to Bright Falls.
