It was 2010 when the world was introduced to the brilliant Alan Wake. The horror survival thriller was originally set to be an open world title before changing its approach to focus on a tight story \u2013 and they ended up giving us one of the best of the era.<\/p>\n
While Nintendo Switch owners have not been able to play the game before, that is all set to change, and Alan Wake will make its debut on the Switch later this year.<\/p>\n
For all we know about that, and for a refresh on what Alan Wake is about, read on below!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s coming in 2022, but we don\u2019t have an exact date yet. All we have been told is that it will be coming \u201cthis fall\u201d, or autumn as we call it here in the UK.<\/p>\n
Not yet, but given that any release date is still a way off we wouldn\u2019t expect any Alan Wake Switch pre-order links to appear until much closer to its release.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll let you know as soon as we hear more but we expect to hear something soon.<\/p>
For those who are yet to experience the game, here is the official synopsis for the original Alan Wake:<\/p>\n
The story follows best-selling thriller novelist Alan Wake as he tries to uncover the mystery behind his wife\u2019s disappearance during a vacation in the small fictional town of Bright Falls, Washington, all while experiencing events from the plot in his latest novel, which he cannot remember writing, coming to life.<\/em><\/p>\n The synopsis is compelling enough but it doesn\u2019t do justice to what is a tense, surprising and delightfully fun game (we highly recommend the DLC too). The game plays akin to a TV show, so you get episode ending cliffhangers that often catch you completely unaware.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a perfect time to play it too as Alan Wake 2<\/a> is all set to be released in 2023 \u2013 although it looks like it will not be joining the original on the Switch at least at first.<\/p>\n Follow Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest insights.
