As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the latest update for Alan Wake has left me feeling rather nostalgic and a tad confused. On one hand, I’m excited about the prospect of a new tune in the game, “Strange Moons,” but on the other, I can’t help but feel a twinge of sadness at the loss of “Space Oddity.
It’s been confirmed that there will be a fresh update for the original Alan Wake game. Originally debuting as an exclusive for Xbox 360 consoles back in 2010, it later made its way to PC in 2012. A remastered version of the game was unveiled in 2021, and fans have been eagerly waiting for the follow-up, which is now set to launch in 2023.
The original “Alan Wake” has gained a strong following among horror video game enthusiasts. Although it doesn’t fall squarely into the horror genre, the game draws significant influence from Stephen King’s novels and “Twin Peaks.” Some reviewers were less than enthused about the combat mechanics, but its compelling storyline, eerie ambiance, and captivating soundtrack have earned “Alan Wake” critical praise.
12 years after its initial release, the 2012 PC version of “Alan Wake” is receiving an update on September 10 at 11am UTC across all digital storefronts. As stated by Remedy Entertainment in a tweet, this new update for “Alan Wake” removes the song “Space Oddity” from the game due to changes in licensing. In its place, a new tune by Petri Alanko titled “Strange Moons” has been added. It’s important to note that this update will not affect the upcoming remaster of “Alan Wake.” Regarding the Xbox 360 version of the game, Remedy Entertainment confirmed it won’t be impacted by the update.
If Alan Wake for Xbox 360 were still accessible digitally, the situation could be quite different. Unfortunately, with Microsoft closing the Xbox 360 marketplace, Alan Wake, like every other digital game for that platform, is no longer available for purchase digitally. The only option to acquire Alan Wake on Xbox 360 at this time is by buying a physical copy. Given its history of being delisted before, it’s possible that if it were still available as a digital purchase, it might have been updated or even taken off the market again.
In the interim, enthusiasts of the game “Alan Wake” can explore the remastered edition and the sequel, which continues to offer fresh content. The Night Spring DLC of “Alan Wake 2” is currently available, with The Lake House scheduled for release sometime in October. Given that “Alan Wake 2” delves deeper into horror, the timing of The Lake House DLC’s launch, coinciding with Halloween, couldn’t be more fitting.
