The Epic Games Store is currently hosting a "Developer Spotlight" sale featuring titles from Remedy Games' "Remedyverse," including Alan Wake Remastered, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, and Control, with significant discounts. The sale, which ends on January 10, 2024, offers a chance for gamers to explore the connected universe of Remedy's games at a lower cost. While Quantum Break is not officially part of the Remedyverse and not on sale at the Epic Games Store, it has some connections to the series. Alan Wake II and its Deluxe Edition are also discounted, enhancing the experience for those familiar with the earlier games.
The opening quote in Alan Wake was purchased from Stephen King for just $1, according to the game's writer Sam Lake. The quote was found in an article written by King in Entertainment Weekly called 'Why Hollywood Can't Do Horror'. The story of Alan Wake pulls a great deal of inspiration from King's extensive work. The game's port on Switch has poor visual quality, dampening the experience.
Remedy boss Sam Lake revealed that the Stephen King quote used in the opening of the original Alan Wake game only cost the studio $1, as it was a gift from the author himself. The quote sets the tone for the horror game and is a strong influence on the series. The upcoming sequel, Alan Wake 2, is set to be released on October 17 and is expected to be more of a survival horror game.
The opening quote in the 2010 game Alan Wake was sold to developer Remedy by Stephen King for just $1. The quote, which appears in the game's intro, comes from a 2008 Entertainment Weekly essay in which King discusses the nature of horror. Remedy creative director Sam Lake called the price "very generous." The game, which pays homage to King's work, has recently been remastered and a sequel is set to release on October 17.
According to Alan Wake's voice actor, Matthew Porretta, the long-awaited sequel to the game, Alan Wake 2, is "supposed to come out in October". While this is not an official announcement, Porretta's statement suggests that the game's development is progressing well. Alan Wake 2 is currently slated for a 2023 release and will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
