Remedy shows trailer for Alan Wake remaster coming October 5

Alan Wake Remastered is out October 5 for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series consoles, and Xbox One. That is what developer Remedy Entertainment announced. The developer also shares a new trailer and announces more about the graphical improvements.

The upgraded version of the 2010 game will get support for up to 4k and 60fps, better cinematics, environments and textures, facelifted character models and new in-game commentary from Sam Lake, the game’s lead writer. In addition to the game, buyers will receive the expansions The Signal and The Writer. Those who purchase the console version of Alan Wake Remastered for the previous generation of consoles can upgrade it to the version for the current generation of consoles free of charge.

Remedy provides more information about the different versions of the game on the PlayStation Blog and in a FAQ. For example, only the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will support 4k at 60fps. PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X players can choose between 30fps and 4k or 60fps and 1080p. Xbox Series S does not support 4k. On the regular PlayStation 4 console, only 1080p at 30fps is possible; on the Xbox One, this is limited to 900p and 30fps.

Remedy has also adapted the PlayStation 5 version for the DualSense controller; the adaptive triggers are customized based on the weapon the player uses. The remaster does not support ray tracing or HDR.

Remedy announced the Alan Wake remaster earlier this week, then indicated that the game would be released in the fall. Originally the game only appeared for the Xbox 360, later a PC version appeared. With the remaster, the game is coming to PlayStation consoles for the first time. The remaster will be available on PC via the Epic Games Store and will cost $30 on all platforms.
