Alan Wake Remastered gets surprise release on Switch, out now

Alan Wake Remastered was known to be coming to Switch, but we didn’t have an exact release date. Interestingly enough, the game has just dropped.

In case you missed the original announcement, here’s a refresher on the game:

In this award-winning cinematic action-thriller, troubled author Alan Wake embarks on a desperate search for his missing wife, Alice. Following her mysterious disappearance from the Pacific Northwest town of Bright Falls, he discovers pages of a horror story he has supposedly written but has no memory of.

Alan Wake Remastered offers the complete experience, with the main game and its two story expansions – The Signal and The Writer. The tense, episodic story is packed with unexpected twists, heart-stopping cliffhangers, and intense bursts of combat where it takes more than bullets to banish the darkness. The game’s cutscenes, quirky cast of characters, and the majestic Pacific Northwest vistas have been enhanced for an experience that delivers as much on its visual impact as its unnerving atmosphere.

Alan Wake Remastered will normally cost $29.99 USD / €29.99 / £24.99 on the Switch eShop. However, there’s currently a 20 percent launch discount.
