Remedy says there’s still a lot to go for the series to become a reality, though, so don’t expect to watch an episode of it anytime soon. You likely know of AMC as the home of The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul, and now, AMC Networks has purchased the rights to this Alan Wake adaptation. In fact, the studio has found a home for the series: AMC. Remedy also revealed that its Alan Wake TV adaptation, which was announced four years ago, is still a real thing and very much happening. It will be a digital-only release on Switch, and it runs natively on the console – it’s not a cloud version like Remedy’s Control is on the platform. Stay tuned for more news and updates as we push closer to the release date and the summer of 2022.Elsewhere in the video, Remedy reveals that Alan Wake Remastered, which hit PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and PC last year, is coming to Switch this fall. The developer certainly made a splash with Control, so it clearly has a good track record.
It’s been a decade since the last game, so fans have high expectations. Considering that the best cheap gaming laptops can run laps around that, you might be good for Alan Wake 2 with an RTX 3060 GPU.
For Ray Tracing, Remedy recommends an RTX 2060 GPU. The recommended specs for Control required you to have an Intel Core i5-7600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X CPU, 16GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660/1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580 AMD GPU. Of course there aren’t any official PC requirements for Alan Wake 2 just yet, but we might get a good idea of what it’ll require based on Control’s PC requirements. Although it clearly states that it’s not gameplay, it would be nice to see that kind of fidelity in the cutscenes. We’re already impressed with the graphical capabilities that Remedy pulled off with the teaser trailer. Alan should be able to sprint for more than two seconds and we need a freaking inventory system, stat! Since the original was split into episodes, this dumb writer lost his flashlight and guns every time something bad happened. As someone who just finished Alan Wake - that game is dated as hell. In a blog post, Remedy states that there will be “psychological horror elements” as well.Īt the very least, I hope we get a healthy amount of guns and that the gameplay is drastically improved. That’s what I imagine the jump might be like, although I do think Alan Wake 2 will be scarier than most Resident Evil games. The former is more action-packed, and the latter is spookier and makes you work for those extra resources. If you’re a fan of Resident Evil games, a good comparison would be thinking of Alan Wake as Resident Evil Village and Alan Wake 2 as Resident Evil 7. But you’re stuck with me, so you get my analogy. Remedy calls Alan Wake 2 a survival horror game, so what does that mean in terms of gameplay compared with the original game? Well, genres can be super ambiguous, so if you ask two different people you’ll get two different answers. I would love nothing more than to run around in a haunted New York City landscape. That makes sense since Alan Wake is from NYC, and the original game took place in Bright Falls. In the teaser trailer, we also see visual cuts jumping from Bright Falls to New York City, which means those might be the two settings for Alan Wake 2. Of course, that’s not Alan Wake (probably), and that’s in fact Mr. Scratch being the villain is the jump cut in the trailer where we see Alan Wake bearing his teeth, covered in blood. Scratch (Alan Wake’s double created by Cauldron Lake) is still out there, which likely also means that on top of having to escape the dark place, Alan has to deal with Mr.
