‘Alan Wake: Flashback’ in ‘Fortnite’ Brings Players up to Speed [Trailer]
We already know that Alan Wake will be taking a trip to Fortnite in the coming weeks. But Epic and Remedy have decided to add a little something more for those newcomers to the Alan Wake series that (still?!) haven’t played the original game, as well as those in need of a refresher in Alan Wake: Flashback.
Ahead of the release of Alan Wake 2, Fortnite players can check out the Alan Wake: Flashback Island by entering the code 3426-5561-3374. According to the description of the trailer, players will “rediscover the mysteries of Bright Falls and shine your light on events from Alan Wake” with the Island, which was created in collaboration with Remedy Entertainment, Spiral House and Zen Creative.
Meanwhile, Alan Wake will arrive in Fortnite proper on October 26 at 8pm ET, when the Alan Wake Outfit, alongside other in-game cosmetics in the “Waking Nightmare” Set will be available in the Item Shop. As an incentive, those players who have purchased any edition of Alan Wake 2 on the Epic Game Store before October 27 will have already been granted both the Alan Wake Outfit and Alan’s Messenger Bag Back Bling in Fortnite.
Alan Wake 2 arrives on October 27th for PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
