With Epic Games Publishing, we’re happy to finally bring Alan Wake to the PlayStation community, and for you to experience the thrill-ride for the first time. Now, we’ve taken the writer’s origin story to a new generation of brave players. Wake used to write crime books set in New York City. Alan Wake is trapped in its depths, his fears and his stories manifesting as reality around him. The Dark Place operates on dream logic, shifting and looping, drawing its appearance from the mind of whoever comes in contact with it. Both Control and Alan Wake exist in the same world, the events of one story tying into the other. A nightmarish, dark reality waiting under Cauldron Lake. This was how the story of Alan Wake was perceived through the lens of the story of Control. There we shed some light on Wake’s long-dormant mystery in the dark depths. We learned that the strange events in Alan Wake had been investigated by the Federal Bureau of Control as an “Altered World Event” – a crisis caused by dangerous paranatural forces seeping through into our reality.

Some of you first met Alan Wake in the AWE expansion of Control, another game set in the Remedy Connected Universe. Above all, we wanted to preserve the identity and unique visual style of Alan Wake, while still elevating the graphics to meet modern players’ expectations. Almost everything in the original game has been retouched: a ton of individual items, from environment scenes to individual props, textures, sound effect files, and the art for the UI. As it’s a hugely important part of creating the unnerving atmosphere of the game, there was a dedicated team working hard to ensure the trees and foliage would look as good as possible. Many of the original developers of Alan Wake, myself included, were involved in the creation of this remaster. Our hero’s character model has been completely re-done. There are also Activity cards for each episode and mission of the game. On top of that, each weapon Alan uses feels unique thanks to the DualSense wireless controller’s adaptive trigger having different feedback depending on the gun you are using, from the revolver to the flare gun. A lot of time has been spent optimizing the game for each platform to offer the best possible experience.

Locals, possessed by supernatural darkness, stalk Wake in the forest. In the story, Bright Falls is taken over by a Dark Presence.

He is in a primordial forest outside the small town of Bright Falls, Washington. Alan Wake, a bestselling writer, comes to behind the wheel of a crashed car.
