Alan Wake Remastered coming to Nintendo Switch

In a video released by Remedy Entertainment ahead of the 12th anniversary of Alan Wake‘s release, creative director Sam Lake announced that Alan Wake Remastered is coming to Nintendo Switch.

The first minute features Ilkka Villi (voice actor, model, and voice actress for Alan Wake), playing on the Xbox One a version of the game. Remedy Entertainment released a press release stating that the game would launch only as a digital Nintendo Switch title and will run natively on hardware. The developer said it will announce a release date “in the coming months,” closer to the game’s launch.

In addition to the news of Alan Wake Remastered on Switch, Lake said that while development on Alan Wake 2, which is slated to release next year, is going well, the developer will not be showing any new footage of the game this summer. “To create a proper, polished demo or a trailer takes a lot of effort, and it’s several months of work that could take away from development,” Lake said in the video. “We feel that we have momentum going, and we want to make sure we are creating the best, and first, survival horror game for Remedy.

Lake also shared that the rights to the Alan Wake TV series, which was announced all the way back in 2018, have been purchased by AMC Networks. The press release stated that the series still has a lot of work to be made a reality. “But we are excited, to say the least, about this latest development.”
