Alan Wake Is Back On Steam, Returning To Xbox Marketplace “Very Soon”

It might not be quite what fans of the games want – which is obviously a full sequel – but that licensing issues that forced Remedy Entertainment to remove Alan Wake from sale last year seem to have been resolved. The game is now back on Steam and coming “very soon” to the Xbox marketplace. It’s reappearing with a very healthy 80% discount, which makes it a ridiculously low £2.28.

How did Remedy manage pull this off? They probably just signed a new license for the music that was in the game, but I like to think the sat a few music execs down, read them a few chapters from an Alan Wake novel and then whipped out a ludicrously bright flashlight and (an obviously fake) revolver to scare them into submission.

  1. Added to the backlog! Nothing markets a game like the irrational fear of it disappearing forever. Very, very irrational in this case, since it’s just undisappeared.
