Fresh out of the oven, there&#8217;s now a video recap of everything that happened in the first game\u2026 back in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than a simple story summary, <strong>the recap is a complete return to the original Alan Wake<\/strong>. Despite being a single installment, the game adopted an episodic format for its storytelling, with summaries at the beginning of each section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The new video follows the style of those introductory sequences, with the voiceover by Matthew Perreta, the actor of Alan Wake<\/strong>, recounting the key moments from Alan&#8217;s arrival in Bright Falls to his entrapment in the Dark Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just 10 days until the launch of ALAN WAKE 2. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uozzqXkt7o\">pic.twitter.com\/uozzqXkt7o<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Game Awards (@thegameawards) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thegameawards\/status\/1714388799709495612?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the video moves forward to show us the setting of <strong>Alan Wake 2.
