‘Alan Wake Remastered’ Heading to The Nintendo Switch?
Switch users might not be left out of Remedy’s upcoming release of Alan Wake Remastered, according to a Brazilian games agency. According to IGN, a Brazilian website known as Switch-Brasil had spotted a ratings filing for Remedy’s upcoming remaster of the 2010 cult classic for the Nintendo Switch.
It should come as no surprise that international ratings boards have leaked previously-unannounced releases before the official word, and this may be no exception. However, when announcing the remaster a few weeks back, Remedy’s Sam Lake made no mention of the game heading to the Switch, so take this with your usual grain of salt.
However, if the remaster is indeed heading to Nintendo’s console, it will be interesting to see how the game is handled. Will it be a full-on release like with the DOOM and DOOM Eternal ports, or will the game be restricted to a cloud streaming service, as in the case with Remedy’s port of Control Ultimate Edition.
Alan Wake Remastered will arrive October 5th for PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
The story that is State of Decay 3 finally appears to be nearing its conclusion. After stating earlier this year that the game was still very much in development, publisher Xbox Game Studios and developer Undead Labs have announced that the game will be launching on PlayStation 5 (which was announced during the Xbox Games Showcase), Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store in 2027.
In addition to the announcement, Undead Labs revealed a brand new trailer, giving players the first-ever look at gameplay for State of Decay 3.
According to Undead Labs’ Creative Director Kevin Patzelt, the team has already had playtesters on an Alpha version of the game, who are “having a blast.” The devteam plans on expanding the Alpha and then Beta list over time for players to come play. “We’ve got an audience that’s hungry for this game, the signups were fantastic, they’re going to keep growing and we want to get more.”
To do so, players can sign up for the waitlist to participate at the State of Decay 3 Playtest website. The first wave of playtests will be limited, but the team plans on sharing insights and feedback with everyone as they go, with more opportunities to participate “throughout the year.”
Set years after a zombie apocalypse nearly wiped out humankind, in State of Decay 3, you play as a community of survivors who must carve out a life for yourselve in a world gripped by a blood plague. Build up your settlements with friends, and destroy zombies.
It’s your story, and you must make tough decisions about where to live, what to build, and who to recruit into your community. Permadeath is an ever-present danger to your community, and every risk must be weighed against the reward.
