Alan Wake 2 Official Launch Trailer

Alan Wake 2 pushes players into a psychological horror story from the perspective of two playable characters. Saga Anderson risks her life to solve a deadly mystery of murders in the Pacific Northwest while Alan Wake attempts to rewrite his reality to escape the depths of the Dark Place, a nightmare version of New York City.

Taking full advantage of the power of current consoles and PC, and driven by Remedy Entertainment’s proprietary Northlight engine, players will take on powerful supernatural enemies in desperate situations filled with intense suspense and unexpected twists. Anderson and Wake are two heroes on two desperate journeys in two separate realities, connected at heart in ways neither of them can understand.

More details and insight from the team at Remedy Entertainment can be found in a post on the official site.

The best-selling and critically acclaimed original Alan Wake received multiple Game of the Year awards and followed the titular protagonist on a desperate search for his missing wife. As he discovered pages of a horror story he had supposedly written, author Alan Wake was forced to question his sanity as, page by page, the story came true before his eyes. Remedy and Epic Games Publishing have released a modern remaster of the title, Alan Wake Remastered, for PC on the Epic Games Store and on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One consoles.

Fort Solis Out Now on Mac

Developer Fallen Leaf in partnership with Dear Villagers have announced that their narrative sci-fi title Fort Solis is out today on the Mac through the App Store and Steam, having launched in August on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.

Furthermore, Fort Solis will feature as part of the upcoming Indie X livestream. Today at 4pm CEST, viewers of the livestream will get a sneak peek at the mysterious Mars-based thriller.

The Indie X showcase runs every year, and features many of the most exciting upcoming indie titles on its livestream. This year, the show will be bigger than ever before, as Indie X are partnering with DevGAMM, one of the largest video games B2B events in the world. Indie X will be split into multiple sections, with an international games showcase, panel and Steam sale supporting the initial livestream. Each game shown will also have a chance to be featured as one of Indie X’s finalists, giving those titles a further spotlight.

“We’re excited that Mac gamers will finally be able to explore Fort Solis and uncover the mystery of the missing crew,” said James Tinsdale, Game Director at Fallen Leaf “We think fans of classic sci-fi films like Alien, Solaris, Moon, and Sunshine will enjoy Fort Solis’ thought-provoking exploration of human nature as it expands throughout the stars.”

“We love that we’re able to provide Mac players with an all new kind of narrative-based sci-fi tale that focuses on philosophy and mystery over action or combat,” said Guillaume Jamet, Head of Publishing for Dear Villagers. “We’re also thrilled to be part of the Indie X showcase this year, as Fort Solis is the work of a small team – not that you’d know it by looking at it! The Unreal Engine 5 production values are through the roof!”
