Rumour: Remedy Working With Epic Games on ‘Alan Wake 2’
Another instance of taking news with your salt, according to a recent Twitch stream by Game Mess Show’s Jeff Grubb, Alan Wake fans may finally be getting the sequel that they’ve been longing for.
According to Grubb (with Nibel grabbing the clip in question), in lieu of buying exclusivity rights to games as they’ve been doing for a while now, Epic Games is instead taking the approach of funding Remedy to help them get Alan Wake 2 off the ground. Grubb states that there was a “bidding war”, and Epic was able to provide the best deal for Remedy to get the title started. Alan Wake 2 will also be coming to multiple platforms.
This does feed into Remedy’s announcement last year regarding their next game, which will be in the same universe as Alan Wake and their most recent hit, Control.
However, Grubb does not state his source, nor has Remedy or Epic commented on this rumour being put forward by Grubb. We’ll have to wait and see just whether this leads to something more.
The original Alan Wake was released onto PC and Xbox 360 back in 2010.

‘Dying Light 2’ Receives New Difficulty Mode and More With “Nightmare Mode” Update [Trailer]
Not to be outdone by Dead Island 2‘s recent expansion, Techland has announced that Dying Light 2 is getting an update of it’s own with the much-requested Nightmare Mode, which adds “the hardest and most immersive difficulty yet” to the game, along with an array of additional elements.
Nightmare Mode for Dying Light 2 forces players to rely on tactics and strategic management of resources in order to survive. The new difficulty introduces changes to stamina management, called the Tactical Stamina system, limited HUD options for better immersion, and a flickering flashlight that goes out when used for too long. These and other additions aim to heighten the atmosphere give the overall experience a needed refresh for veteran players. Those who manage to complete the game on this highest difficulty will be rewarded with the memorable Waltz Outfit.
The Nightmare Mode Update adds more than just the new difficulty. New adjustments to the Infected and night experience are also part of the update. What’s more, co-op players will be glad to hear they will now be able to take on the Community Maps with up to three friends. Archers will get reworked power shot mechanics. And you even have the opportunity to change the appearance of the Grappling Hook.
Dying Light 2 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
