• "Why do we need more graphics?": 2010's Alan Wake was as photoreal as videogames ever needed to be, reckons original Thief designer - 11 September 2026

  Former Thief: The Dark Project designer, Ion Storm game director, and sometime Spielberg collaborator Randy Smith Evergreen has shared his probably-incendiary view that photorealistic videogame graphics need not have advanced any further than Remedy's original Alan Wake . For context, Alan Wake released back in 2010, when some of you people were screaming babies. Every touted breakthrough in visual fidelity since that golden year? A pointless indulgence and a reckless travesty. A middle finger jammed up the nose of god. Smith Evergreen is entirely wrong, of course: videogame graphics actually topped out with PS1's MediEvil, still definitively the most faithful and convincing portrayal of an incompetent walking skeleton known to science. That said, this is an OG Thief designer we're talking about. Let's hear the poor soul out. Read more

• Новый глава Remedy Entertainment: Alan Wake и Control должны продаваться лучше - 28 May 2026

  Новый генеральный директор финской студии Remedy Entertainment намерен заняться популяризацией её ключевых игровых брендов Alan Wake и Control . Жан-Шарль Годешон приступил к исполнению своих обязанностей в марте — всё это время он занимался внимательным анализом компании и её внутренних процессов.

• Remedy's new CEO doesn't want to "change the DNA" of the Control studio, but he does still think their games "could give a lot more" - 26 May 2026

  Back in February, Remedy appointed Jean-Charles Gaudechon as its new CEO following last year's FBC: Firebreak flop. This quickly raised some eyebrows given Gaudechon's tenure at EA, a game studio that's had its fair share of controversies over the years thanks to its business practices. After all, Remedy are meant to be this quirky, Finnish game studio that does things their own, weird way, such an appointment felt out of step. But, in a recent interview, Gaudechon made it seem like he's not about to "change the DNA" of a place like Remedy (even if he does still want to bring more money in by expanding in other ways).

• Всё только начинается: Remedy Entertainment рассказала о развитии общей вселенной Alan Wake и Control - 5 January 2025

  Развитие общей вселенной игр студии Remedy Entertainment только начинает набирать обороты и еще далеко от завершения, заявил сценарист и геймдиректор Сэм Лейк . Прочная связь между мирами разных игр была установлена в дополнении AWE для Control 2019 года, а позапрошлогодний Alan Wake II ( наш обзор ) еще больше развил эту взаимосвязанную историю, искусно вплетя в нее даже Quantum Break .

• Update Notes - 10 September 2024

• Alan Wake and Alan Wake Remastered will have different ending songs starting next week - 6 September 2024

• Alan Wake and Control TV and movies look to be on the way from Annapurna, thanks to new partnership with Remedy over Control 2 - 30 August 2024

  Remedy’s done a thing. The studio has just announced it’s put together a partnership with Annapurna Interactive - you know, the folks who published that cat game and a bunch of other acclaimed indies - to help bankroll Control 2 . As part of the deal, Annapurna’s getting the rights to bring Alan Wake and Control to TV and film screens. As announced in a press release that contains at least one joke about Finnish people having no emotions, Remedy’s done this with the aim of making sure Control 2 is the all-singing, all-dancing thing its developers want to deliver.

• Gamer buys 4,000 copies of Alan Wake, none of them work - 15 April 2024

  XCOM. Civilization. Half-Life. There are certain games we adore here at PCGamesN, certifiable PC classics that we consider part of our personal canon. Certainly, when it comes to collector's editions, reissues, or the occasional game of the year overhaul, we'd be tempted to buy a second copy of some of these beloved stalwarts. And maybe, just maybe, we'd go a little further - if it's a game we really, wildly adore, we might buy it twice, just in case one copy breaks, or so we can play it on PC and also another, second platform. But even with Baldur's Gate 3, Doom, and Command and Conquer, it's hard to think of a game that we love so much we'd buy it 4,000 times. Alan Wake 2 was fantastic. Control, Max Payne, and even the overlooked Quantum Break more than prove that Remedy is one of the best mainstream game-makers today. But is that enough to justify owning 4,000 copies of the studio's…

• Remedy: Развитие франшиз Alan Wake и Control станет ключевой частью будущего студии - 17 February 2024

• Alan Wake 2 rewrites reality to make its fictional band's album top 10 worldwide - 11 December 2023

  It seems like Alan Wake is up to his ole reality shifting tricks again, as the real band that Alan Wake 2's fictional band is performed by is finding worldwide success, as the fictional band. Ok, so, let's bear with me for a second as I give you some context. The Old Gods of Asgard are a fictional band who first appeared in the first Alan Wake back in 2010. You also will have heard them in Control, and most recently, the best section of Alan Wake 2 . What you might not know is that there is a real, actual Finnish band that plays them called Poets of the Fall. But, under the fictional moniker of Old Gods of Asgard, they recently a "Greatist Hits" album called Rebirth, featuring the instant classic Herald of Darkness from the sequel, as well as tracks from the original game. Now, as shared by Poets of the Fall themselves , that album has managed to enter the top 10 albums on iTunes over t…

• Никакого фритуплея: Project Vanguard от создателей Control и Alan Wake II станет платной премиальной игрой - 14 November 2023

В апреле этого года студия подтвердила, что игра все еще находится на стадии проверки концепции, но с приходом новых разработчиков и усилением руководящей команды проект получил больший импульс.

• Even Alan Wake 2's directors had to rely on fan wikis to keep track of some details - 6 November 2023

  Alan Wake 2's pair of directors have thanked fan wikis for helping them keep track of all the small details from the original games. You might think you're a big fan of something, you may even be the creator of a beloved text, but no one will know more about a piece of media than a fan wiki. As it turns out, this is definitely the case for Alan Wake as well, as in a recent interview with Sam Lake and Kyle Rowley, co-directors on the long awaited Alan Wake 2, the pair have go so far as to thank those that have written for Alan Wake fan wikis to help them "remember the details." Lake and Rowley recently appeared on The Friends Per Second Podcast, where they also shared the game's best bit almost didn't make it in . But Lake also said that he wanted to "officially give a big thank you to all the wonderful fans keeping Alan Wake wikis up to date. I confess, I trust these people, I’ll be thi…

  Ремастер Alan Wake ( наш обзор ) окупился и начал приносить разработчикам деньги спустя два года с момента релиза, подтвердила Remedy Entertainment . Этот факт успел оказать положительное влияние на отчет студии за прошлый квартал — в преддверии релиза Alan Wake II интерес к оригиналу заметно вырос, что покрыло как производственный, так и маркетинговый бюджет ремастера .

• Bag the original Alan Wake and more for a tenner right now - 20 October 2023

  Looking to play the original Alan Wake before Alan Wake 2 arrives next week? You can bag it for just over a tenner right now, as well as some other great horror games. Alan Wake 2 is finally launched next Friday, October 27, more than 13 years after the original game. So if you think you never actually got round to playing the first game, and want to pick it up for cheap before Alan Wake 2 launches, a new Humble Bundle deal has you covered.

• Epic Games is using the might of Fortnite to make Alan Wake popular - 19 October 2023

  If it's been a while since you've played the original Alan Wake , and need a refresher ahead of Alan Wake 2 , Fortnite now has a playable recap. Remedy Entertainment's partnership with Epic Games continues to bore some interesting fruit, as last week it was announced that those that pre-order Alan Wake 2 on the Epic Games Store will net a skin of the titular character in Fortnite . Perhaps an odd choice for a game like Fortnite, sure, but Epic Games is publishing the upcoming sequel so it makes some amount of sense! As it turns out, though, that skin isn't the only collaboration the battle royale is having with the upcoming survival horror game; you can now (sort of) play through the original game in Fortnite itself. Alan Wake: Flashback is a new, micro version of the original game that sees you playing through its main plot beats in about 25 minutes. A description for the game reads, "…
