The title previously received a classification in Brazil last month, and Nintendo’s console was among the listed platforms. Some had thought that Epic Games Publishing and Remedy Entertainment were holding on to an announcement for the most recent Nintendo Direct, but that didn’t happen in the end as the presentation came and went without any news. There was always the possibility that the rating from Brazil was a mistake. However, the fact that a second classification has now emerged makes that seem less likely.

Alan Wake Remastered Switch rating surfaces

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Could Alan Wake Remastered have a shot at landing on Switch? The Brazil Advisory Rating Board at least has reason for thinking so. Alan Wake Remastered was added to the official classification database earlier today, and Switch is among the listed platforms.

Alan Wake Remastered is a redone version of the well-received Xbox 360 game from 2010. Epic Games Publishing announced the new version earlier this month, though there was no word on a Switch version at the time. It’s unclear if news for Nintendo’s console will be coming later or if today’s rating is an error.

The start of the lawsuit has brought about a document that reveal all sorts of information about Fortnite – including plans that were either scrapped or could be happening in the future. This includes a whole bunch of skins that have never been mentioned before.
