It seems quite clear that Epic Games trusts ‘Alan Wake 2’ despite it being released 13 years after the first part. In this long decade, there has been time to release two DLCs, an independent game (‘American Nightmare’), a DLC for another game (‘Control’), a miniseries, two books, and two comics. And now, a new game that you can play within ‘Fortnite‘. But it’s neither a novelty nor a retro title, but quite the opposite.
Alan, Wake Me Up
And the developers are aware that not everyone will remember what happened in that Xbox 360 game, so they have decided to provide a summary and an update in the most original way possible. ‘Alan Wake: Flashback’ is a way to experience the most important points of that game without leaving ‘Fortnite’. That’s right: it’s a special scenario that revisits everything.
You won’t take more than half an hour to finish it and you’ll start looking at the calendar, eager for the 27th to arrive, to find out how the terrifying story continues. The price? Nothing. That’s right. How to play it? It’s easy: you can enter through Fortnite Discover or on the island with the code 3426-5561-3374. The return to Bright Falls will make you rush to get the remaster of ‘Alan Wake‘ if you don’t have it yet, so be careful: one way or another, you’re going to end up spending the bucks. The first one is always free, you know.
By the way, the main character will make his appearance during Fortnite’s Halloween festivities alongside none other than Michael Myers himself. What does that mean? In ‘Alan Wake: Flashback,’ the protagonist won’t be him, but a character with cat ears, Naruto, or the skin of your choice. That’s the price to pay for having everything in one place, after all. ‘Fortnite’ is becoming a game for everything (promoting movies, creating meta-video games, and, of course, preparing its multiple seasons), and it seems like it will continue to be with us for decades. With ideas like this, that’s perfectly understandable.
