Alan Wake brings his flashlight to Fortnite

<p>Alan Wake is coming to Fortnite in a cross-promotional event ahead of the 2010 game’s long-awaited sequel. Alan Wake: Flashback “reimagines Remedy Entertainment’s iconic story in Fortnite” as Epic Games and Remedy Entertainment introduce younger players to a franchise that faded in and out of public consciousness before some of them were born.</p>
<p>The game within a game appears to provide a quick recap of the events of the first title within Fortnite. “Troubled author Alan Wake embarks on a desperate search for his missing wife, Alice,” Epic’s description reads. “Following her mysterious disappearance from the Pacific Northwest town of Bright Falls, he discovers pages of a horror story he has supposedly written, but has no memory of.”</p>

<p>The surreal pairing becomes more logical when you consider Epic and Alan Wake developer Remedy have a working relationship. Remedy <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2020-03-26-epic-publishing-remedy-playdead-gendesign-games.html">signed a publishing agreement with Epic[/url] in 2020 in a program covering up to 100 percent of a title’s development costs, including paying for quality assurance, localization and marketing. Once a game recovers its development costs, the companies split their profits 50/50. So, the Fortnite tie-in is a win-win for both companies’ bottom lines.</p>
<p>Alan Wake will also be a playable character via an Alan Wake Outfit. It will launch in the “Waking Nightmare” set available on the Fortnite shop beginning on October 26. Meanwhile, Alan Wake 2 <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/alan-wake-ii-delayed-by-10-days-will-arrive-on-october-27th-150033546.html">launches[/url] for $50 on October 27 for <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/alan-wake-2/">PlayStation 5[/url], <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:4;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/alan-wake-2/9n274jbxld8t" data-original-link="https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/alan-wake-2/9n274jbxld8t">Xbox Series X/S[/url] and PC via the <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:5;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/alan-wake-2" data-original-link="https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/alan-wake-2">Epic Store[/url].</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/alan-wake-brings-his-flashlight-to-fortnite-155907947.html?src=rss
