EVERSPACE 2 developer ROCKFISH Games, being headquartered in Hamburg, couldn't very well pass up on the Cologne-based Gamescom, especially since they've got the Titans DLC coming up soon. Due to launch on September 16 across all platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X) for a price tag of $15, this is the first story DLC for the space combat game that was fully released in 2023. I caught up with ROCKFISH Games CEO and Co-Founder Michael Schade and Communications Manager Lee Guille to learn more about EVERSPACE 2: Titans and to discuss various aspects of the industry, from their […]
The big Summer Game Fest kickoff show is only a couple days away, and, as you would expect, the teases for what we can expect at the show have begun. It seems like Summer Game Fest will be particularly good for horror fans, as a majority of the things teased for the show thus far have been horror related. First up, Remedy has posted this teaser, which seems to be a reference to the upcoming “Night Springs” story DLC for Alan Wake 2. Dark Triangle Coffee. Just coffee, nothing else. Have a sip at Night Springs' One and Only Coffee […]
We’ve all bought a second or maybe even third copy of a game we really, really love. Longtime Kotaku readers know of my obsession with re-buying Resident Evil 4. But I’m not sure there’s a game I love so much that I would buy thousands of copies of it....
Today, Remedy released its latest quarterly report for the period between October and December 2023. Despite the successful launch of Alan Wake 2, which was the fastest-selling game ever made by the studio even launching in a highly competitive release window, Q4 2023 marked a decrease in both revenue and profitability compared to 2022 due to significantly increased investments in the other game projects and to the impairment charge cost (€ -7.2 million) related to the reboot of the free-to-play Project Vanguard, from now on known as Kestrel. Still, Remedy revealed that Alan Wake 2 has now recouped most of […]
New Alan Wake 2 PC system requirements were shared online today by Remedy Entertainment as a new patch optimizing rendering for older GPUs went live. As patch 1.0.16.1 optimizes rendering for older GPUs that do not support mesh shaders, the game's GPU minimum requirements were changed to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT. The changes introduced in the update also improve performance for GPUs that do support mesh shaders. We've been optimizing the PC version of Alan Wake 2, and as a result the minimum PC system requirements have been lowered. Please check the updated image! […]
Ahead of launching, Alan Wake 2 made the news because it required graphics cards with hardware support for DirectX 12 Ultimate's Mesh Shaders feature. That left unsupported GPUs like NVIDIA's GTX 1000 series and AMD's RX 5000 Series in the dust. Digital Foundry revealed in a new video that developer Remedy Entertainment is about to release a new patch for the PC version of Alan Wake 2 that aims to improve performance for those GPUs. They were able to test the update before its public deployment (currently scheduled for Wednesday, March 6), reporting great news for NVIDIA's Pascal graphics cards. […]
Alan Wake 2 received widespread critical acclaim when it was released in late November. Our own Francesco De Meo gave it a 9/10 and said: Despite not aiming to revolutionize the survival horror genre, Alan Wake II is an amazing game that no one who enjoys a good trippy horror story should pass on. Remedy Entertainment really outdid themselves, releasing their best game to date and one of the most immersive gaming experiences of the past few years. Remedy's latest game also earned various awards, including Wccftech's for Best Horror Game of 2023 as voted by our staff and community. […]
Yesterday, the New York Videogame Critics Circle (NYVGCC) announced the winners of the 13th annual New York Game Awards in a dedicated ceremony streamed live from the SVA Theatre, with Baldur's Gate 3 once again emerging as the big winner. Larian's excellent triple-A cRPG managed to win the Game of the Year award as well as the 'Herman Melville' award for Best Writing. Baldur's Gate 3 wasn't the only game to bring two prizes home, however, as Remedy's Alan Wake 2 won the 'Statue of Liberty' award for Best World. It also brought home the 'Great White Way' award for […]

Alan Wake 2 was listed in the Art, Character […]
2023 saw the release of Alan Wake 2, the first full-on horror game from Remedy Entertainment, and if you have any success in the horror realm Dead by Daylight is going to hook you sooner or later. Today Montreal-based developer Behaviour Interactive announced Alan Wake himself is coming to Dead by Daylight later this month. You can check out a teaser trailer for Alan Wake’s DBD debut, below. Here’s a bit more detail on Alan Wake’s journey into The Fog, courtesy of Behaviour… “This isn’t fiction—it's real. Alan Wake, star of the critically acclaimed Alan Wake franchise, is coming into […]
If you’ve been eyeing (or playing) Alan Wake II lately but haven’t yet played any of the other titles in Remedy Games’ growing “Remedyverse” of connected stories, then you might want to take a look at the Epic Games Store right now. During its “Develop...
Going into 2023, it seemed like the year was poised to be a landmark one for the horror genre, and it mostly delivered the goods. Some games expected for 2023, like the Silent Hill revival, didn’t materialize, but we still got rock-solid remakes of games like Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 and some terrifying new nightmares like Alan Wake 2. So, summon up your courage for Wccftech’s Best Horror Games of 2023… Also in Wccftech's Best Games of 2023 lists: Shooter, Fighting, and RPG, Action, Indie, and Adventure Dead Space (8) After years of neglect from parent company EA, the Dead […]
The currently available AMD FSR 3 frame generation mods continue to impress, doubling performance in titles such as Alan Wake 2 and Hogwarts Legacy. As shown in a new video shared by MxBenchmarkPC, the DLSSG-to-FSR3 mod by Nukem, whose latest version can be downloaded from Nexus Mods, doubles performance in Alan Wake 2 at 1440p resolution on an NVIDIA RTX 3080. This is especially useful in the forested areas, which are extremely demanding. Alongside the mod by Nukem, LukeFZ is releasing game-specific AMD FSR 3 frame generation mods for several titles that already support NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Among […]
Samsung has been reported on multiple occasions to introduce a design change with the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch, with the flagship said to feature rounded corners instead of sharp ones, resembling the company’s Galaxy Note 7. However, it is one thing to check out an artist’s impression of the smartphone and another to view an actual render, and we are happy to mention that an official image has come out, but there is a catch. The notable leakster responsible for showcasing the Galaxy S25 Ultra to his fans has blurred it out unless his financial target is met. Donation goal from […]
This week saw the release of Astro Bot, a delightful game that pays tribute to the rich history of PlayStation. It also, inadvertently, highlights the dearth of new games and franchises really worth celebrating from the PS5 era. Also, Star Wars Outlaws...
