During a video stream to celebrate the 12th anniversary of Alan Wake, developer Remedy announced that Alan Wake Remastered will be making its way to the Switch. Also announced during the event was a TV show based on the game. The rights has been acquired by AMC and they are collaborating with Remedy on the project.

However, not much else was shared regarding those two projects except for their announcements. Sam Lake did say that more details will be shared at a later time.

The stream also shared some new details about Alan Wake II which will launch next year on PS5, Xbox Series S|X and PC on the Epic Games Store. You can watch the 13-minute video below for more insights into these announcements:

I liked the first one, felt like an American take on Silent Hill with more action, but America Nightmare felt like hot garbage and made me kinda hate the series as a whole. Don't have high hopes for the delayed sequel.

For the first time I'm excited about a video game to TV series, Alan Wake always felt like a horror TV series.

Don't get too excited yet.

When they say remastered coming to the switch, it won't be remastered it will likely be the same as others, ported off the 360 or will be a terrible dumbed down port, just like gta definitely don't version (tho the game looked like shit sims lol).

Gutted that it's AMC that have got their grubby hands on it, lets hope fucking gimp and kang have nothing to do with it.

Wasn't this studio the one that Sony recently aquired?

 

[Godofcheese]

Still nothing about a steam release
but it's not surprising as Epic is the publisher this time around
Won't be getting it tho

They are basically twins, i'm sure he also portrayed Max payne back since.

Yeah yeah, remedy nowadays sucks, zero expectations for anything they do. And also, like any tv series or movie based off a video game, this one == trash.

Ah, the good ol' days when you got people around the studio to record the voices, or lend their face(s).

Yeah, that's Sam Lake aka scriptwriter (then) and Max Payne (till the end of time).

Whatever. LOL! Go play some more Genshin.

I don't play trash or, in your case, watch trash! LMFAO.

 

[Stone_Wings]

I don't play trash

Except there's this in a Genshin news post.

At least them cute waifus are a nice r34 or mod material, every game should be like that, period. The game was kinda fun i spent some 20h+ on it at launch

or, in your case, watch trash! LMFAO.

Not sure what that was all about, but I promise you it wasn't even a fraction as funny as you thought it was. And I dunno, but your "them cute waifus are a nice r34 or mod material, every game should be like that, period" statement seems pretty trashy to me.

Bloody does look like him ...& with max Payne 1 & 2 remaster coming soon

 

[tpax]

I'd love Sam Lake to portrait Max Payne again for the upcoming remaster. But that probably ain't gonna happen. Hope they at least include his facemodel as an easter egg.

 

[CoolMe]

An Alan Wake TV Show would be a no-brainer, and the horror-mystery vibe would fit perfectly in this case.. Though it's all about the execution in the end..
I think the action scenes is what might either make it or break it for me. A cheap-looking CGI effects would ruin it, i hope they go for a minimalist look on that front..
The casting as well, SPECIALLY the main character. The dark/dreary atmosphere should be preserved as well..

wait a minute.......

Yeah, it is him (Sam Lake).

So wait... The bigger consoles get a full remake, but the switch only gets a shitty remaster? That's some bullshit.

Technically the Xbox/PS/Epic versions is also a remaster.
