Remedy is a popular developer that pushes the boundaries between narrative and gameplay a bit closer. In the first Alan Wake game, this studio included an Easter egg on the game’s cover, a feature that few players noticed until today.
X user RuleTime posted a full picture of the cover, showing how a very important character of the game was also part of the cover, which no one had noticed until now. The comments even show how this was on the cover of only certain versions of the game, which have more space to add that detail.
Alan Wake Still Surprises Many Gamers With a Hidden Easter Egg That Nobody Noticed An X user discovered an Easter egg on the cover of the original Alan Wake.
The first Alan Wake, originally exclusive to the Xbox 360, narrated the tale of a writer who faced a block and was unable to complete his book.

With it being the 14th anniversary of the original Alan Wake today (flash back to Luiz’s article on the game’s 10th anniversary), Remedy Entertainment, Epic Games and Laced Records have a treat for fans with the release of the soundtrack from Alan Wake 2 today! The 35-track album, composed by Petri Alanko, is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major music services for streaming, as well as for purchase on iTunes, Amazon, and more.
Alanko, who also composed the original Alan Wake soundtrack, says that working on Alan Wake 2’s soundtrack was like “coming home”. “[Working on the soundtrack was] comparable to meeting old friends after so many years, seeing everything had changed a bit – and that longing feeling had its place among the building blocks of Alan Wake 2‘s soundtrack.”

The recent earnings report from Remedy Entertainment studio has revealed that Alan Wake 2 has yet to turn a profit. Despite a substantial budget and sales exceeding 1 million digital copies, the game has not yet generated a profit. This financial loss places the studio in a precarious situation, potentially impacting the production of other games such as the Max Payne Remake.
However, Remedy remains optimistic, anticipating that Alan Wake 2 will most likely follow the trend of their previous titles like Alan Wake Remastered, which also took some time (2 years) to become greatly profitable.

Alan Wake 2 has been a triumph for Remedy Entertainment and the developers revealed two video games that were sources of inspiration. The survival-horror video game was well-received and took advantage of the success of The Evil Within franchise.
It is unfortunate to see Tango Gameworks being closed down by Microsoft. Kyle Rowley served as one of the game directors of the Alan Wake sequel and opened the doors. Rowley sent an invitation to the developers seeking new opportunities and also revealed another inspiration for the game.

2023 was a feast for gamers who love the horror genre. With RE4, Dead Space, Dead Island 2, and the anticipated Alan Wake sequel, we’ve had our fill-off “Why are you running?” meme-worthy moments. This year, though, things have seemed a little too quiet on the spooky front. But it looks like we’ll be quivering soon enough with releases like Hellblade 2 and Little Nightmares 3.

In a very strategic pivot, Remedy Entertainment Plc announced the cancellation of a nascent game project, codenamed Kestrel, in collaboration with Tencent Plc. Kestrel began in November 2023 as a reboot of the original Vanguard project. At its core, Kestrel was imagined as a high-profile premium cooperative multiplayer game. Still, despite the up-and-coming project, the company will be forced to discontinue it so that it can reallocate resources towards more mature projects within the Remedy portfolio.

Arrowhead Gaming Studios’ Helldivers 2 is certainly one of the most popular games in the world right now, so naturally, many other developers are looking to collaborate with Arrowhead to give fans exclusive crossovers. Dead by Daylight‘s official X account recently posted a Player Satisfaction Survey in which fans were asked to answer various questions about the game.
Helldivers 2
One of these questions asked fans to describe their experience with various popular video games and Helldivers 2 was also a part of this list. The list consisted of many other games like Payday 2, Left 4 Dead, and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach. Many fans believe that this survey was conducted in order to analyze players’ demand and plan a crossover accordingly.
A crossover between Dead by Daylight and Helldivers 2 is indeed a bit unusual but there is a character in the game that could lead the Automatons in this crossover: Berserker.

Survival horror games have finally made a comeback in a huge manner. First was The Callisto Protocol, which launched in 2022 to mixed reviews. It was followed by the Dead Space remake, which launched to critical acclaim. Then fans got a game called Resident Evil 4 Remake, and finally, Alan Wake 2 was launched by Remedy Entertainment.
Most of these games were incredibly successful; they were no doubt serving a market that had been overlooked for a while. The above-mentioned games also gave the fans of survival horror games hope that they can now see more such games released in the near future. But some of these games also took a bunch of inspiration from games that were before them, like Alan Wake 2, which was heavily inspired by a classic horror franchise.

The developers of Alan Wake 2, Remedy, and its feud with Rockstar might not be as tumultuous as we might think. Following a logo dispute involving the two companies, fans were skeptical about the state of the Max Payne remake that would be a collaboration between them.
However, recent developments suggest that these concerns may have been premature. In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that Rockstar is funding the remakes of the classic Max Payne games and allocating massive budgets, despite ongoing legal disputes between the two companies.
Alan Wake 2 Was A Saving Grace for Remedy
Despite Remedy’s tumultuous financial year, Alan Wake 2 was an undeniable success
Before delving into the unexpected partnership between Rockstar and Remedy, we need to understand the context surrounding the latter’s recent endeavors.
The past year has been a rollercoaster ride for the Finnish game developer, marked by wins and losses.

Alone in the Dark is an extremely important franchise within the sub-genre of survival horror. The first game in the series is considered by many to be the first true survival horror video game ever released. Thus, without this franchise, other iconic survival horror titles like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Alan Wake may never have come to pass.
This is one reason that this reimagining of the original Alone in the Dark was my most anticipated 2024 release, the other reason is because survival horror remakes have been knocking it out of the park lately. Last year alone saw Capcom expertly remaster the iconic Resident Evil 4, after the year opened with EA releasing a masterful remake of the original Dead Space.
All of this combined with the star power of David Harbour and Jodie Comer in the lead roles meant that Pieces Interactive’s 2024 reimagining of Alone in the Dark...

Alone in the Dark is among the most thrilling experiences a game has ever delivered in the history of video games. The horror of the game has been recreated by Pieces Interactive which will be released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 20 March 2024. But before that, publishers of the game, Thq Nordic, felt a need to tickle the amygdala of people via a real-life experience.
To fulfill this fantasy, they reached out to Realm Pictures alongside, a small group of creatives who created a real-life version of the fan-favorite stealth video game Hitman in 2016. Alongside Havas Entertainment, they recreated the Derceto Manor for content creators to give them an immersive experience of the game.

The original Alone in the Dark game sold 2.5 Million copies by the year 2000.

Alan Wake 2 fans are currently enjoying this survival horror game to the fullest. This game has evolved in a big way ever since it was launched in 2023. One by one, developer Remedy Entertainment has made improvements to this game. The most significant part of that improvement was allowing people with older Gtx 1000 series GPUs to get better performance in this game.
Besides that, fans also have much to look forward to; they are eagerly waiting for this game’s previously announced photo mode. And the biggest reason for them to get hyped is the upcoming Dlc for Alan Wake 2. This Dlc is set to expand this universe even further. To their surprise, fans have also received an update on this Dlc very recently.

Sam Lake, the Creative Director at Remedy, who plays Alex Casey, posted a picture from the sets of a motion capture for the Dlc. Remedy confirmed two DLCs coming to Alan Wake 2: Night Springs, which will be released first, and Lake House.
Lake mentioned the capture was completed for an upcoming Dlc, but what could be concerning was him mentioning that the wrap-up was done for the last time for him as an actor in the Alan Wake sequel. Several fans responded with excitement over the Dlc shoot being finalized, which brings the release date closer.

Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy Entertainment might not have succeeded in releasing a blockbuster game, but they released a very well-made title. This game looks excellent and has been loved by every gamer who has tried their hands at it. The best part is that they improved significantly over the prequel in terms of gameplay. It wears its Resident Evil influence on its sleeves.
Its story, too, was something else; it features a parallel narrative simultaneously telling the story of two different characters at the same time. To add to everything else, its ending was such that fans are still wondering if this game will get a sequel or not. A lot of signs from the developer and its latest game suggest that there will indeed be a sequel.

According to a new job post from Remedy, the studio is working on a first-person game for the first time. The studio has achieved a lot of things with its Control franchise, and it announced that a spin-off called Condor is on the way.
While the details stuck unknown for a while, now a crucial feature is unveiled. The reason behind the change is probably Alan Wake 2‘s financial failure and the decision Remedy made about trying something new.

The studio’s job post is about a Senior Gameplay Animator, and first-person animation experience is a requirement. The post also confirms that the role is opened for its brand-new game, Condor. It was already announced a year ago, so Remedy doesn’t hide details about it anymore.

Alan Wake 2 has been around for a while, and the spicy rumors surrounding it seem endless, especially with the famous Sweet Baby scandal. Of course, it doesn’t change the fact that Remedy did a pretty good job and was appreciated by the folks. You know, a gripping story full of horror stuff, successful graphics and not-bad gameplay mechanics.
To be specific, Saga Anderson is at the center of the rumors about the game. You know, the brave FBI lady who identifies victims and suspects through telepathy. It seems that the Game Director of Remedy has grown weary of the endless theories about Saga and has finally put an end to the question marks.

Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 was much-awaited by fans. The first Stephen King-inspired game was a cerebral jaunt through the dark recesses of a writer’s mind as he tried to combat forces far larger than himself.
The sequel, however, doesn’t always evoke the same sense of lovecraftian dread as the first. This was accompanied by a laundry list of technical issues experienced on PC. However, Remedy may be trying to turn things around with its latest patch.

Alan Wake 2 is an incredibly good-looking game. Anyone who doubts this statement can just watch any clip of this game, and they will know. And there’s no surprise here either; developer Remedy Entertainment has made it their thing to bring some very good-looking games to their fans. This started with Control, a game that launched back in 2019.
This continued with their recent title, Alan Wake 2, a game that looks and plays incredibly well. As the name suggests, it is the continuation of a years-old game, unsurprisingly called Alan Wake. While the sequel was much awaited and looked incredible, there were a lot of fans who could not play it due to its high PC spec requirements, but it appears the developers have decided to change that with their latest patch.

Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 was certainly one of the most popular games of 2023. It took Remedy more than a decade to give the fans a sequel to 2010’s Alan Wake.

It boasts not only a thrilling narrative, but also a unique and unconventional soundtrack, perfectly mirroring the game’s wild and unpredictable nature.
Composer Petri Alanko, known for his unorthodox methods, went to some nutty lengths to create a soundscape that matches the game’s oddball energy. Be warned, it may be nuttier than the story itself.

Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy Entertainment has fully acquired the rights for Control. Back in 2018, Remedy announced that they had partnered with 505 Games to publish Control. Given the recent success they had with their latest game, Remedy has also gained the confidence to take the helm of their franchise without the aid of third-party publishers. This bold move grants them full agency and for lack of a better term, control over the growth of their IP.
Among the benefits of independently developing any project is that there is no need for a committee with second or third-party organizations, it can be done with only the necessary personnel within the inner circle. Remedy can now focus on fleshing out new ideas on their own and this could potentially mean they can work twice as fast as they did with a publisher breathing down their necks.

It may be some time before we see Alan Wake coming to our TV screens. Given the current trend of video games being picked up and adapted to the screen, fans of the cult franchise are desperate to see this being brought to life, and rightly so. Given the storyline and the psychological terrors that accompany the game, it is easily one game that could be successful.
Despite AMC buying the rights to the game franchise to develop it into a television series, we have heard very little regarding this and hopefully, it doesn’t descend into development limbo, never to be heard of again. However, looking at a recent trailer for an upcoming horror movie, fans of the franchise may see similarities to the much-loved Alan Wake games.
The closest film to Alan Wake we’ve seen?

With Alan Wake now available for Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive has unleashed the previously-announced limited event with “Lights Out”. Running through February 14, Lights Out puts players on a Map shrouded in darkness with a limited interface, heightening the tension while also offering up higher-quality items to help even the odds.
“With Lights Out we really wanted to ratchet up the horror and tension that’s at the core of our game,” says Michael Nielson, Game Design Team Lead on Dead by Daylight. “Our goal was to make Trials even more immersive and terrifying. There’s going to be lots of surprises as you never know what’s coming around the next corner!”
In addition to being engulfed in total darkness, players will also have to contend with the fact that all of their Perks are now disabled. Not only that, but the Killer no longer has a Terror Radius,...

The day’s finally arrived for Alan Wake to enter The Fog and join Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight. Alan Wake joins the asymmetrical multiplayer title as the latest Survivor as part of Tome 18: Revision.
You know the story by now: best-selling author Alan Wake has a case of writer’s block. A trip to Bright Falls was supposed to clear his mind, but instead set off a nightmarish chain of events that led to his disappearance and imprisonment in the mysterious Dark Place. This time, while fighting to write his way to freedom and escape the Dark Place, he remembered a script he wrote for Night Springs about a horrifying place shrouded in fog. Those memories soon shaped reality as he was swallowed up into The Entity’s Ream and the world of Dead by Daylight, trading one Dark Place for another.

Behaviour Interactive dropped their surprise last week regarding Alan Wake making the leap to Dead by Daylight later this month. Now they’ve released a new Spotlight trailer for the upcoming Chapter, highlighting Alan Wake’s character Perks that players will be able to use. It’s also narrated by Alan Wake’s voice actor Matthew Porretta, who will also be reprising his role as the tortured writer in the Dlc.
As was touched on when the Alan Wake Chapter was announced, Wake has access to three unique Perks: Champion of Light, Boon: Illumination, and Deadline.
Champion of Light grants players additional movement speed while shining a Flashlight. If you successfully Blind a Killer with the Flashlight, they will be affected by the Hindered Status Effect, slowing them down. Pairing this Perk with Haddie Kaur’s Residual Manifest will further compromise the Killer with the Blindness Status Effect.
