More than a decade ago, THQ Nordic helped Remedy publish the physical copies of Alan Wake for the PC and would love to work together with Remedy again for the sequel. But, THQ Nordic, one of their former partners, stepped in to offer an alternative. So, what's the solution? Alan Wake 2 is part of the growing list of horror games scheduled for a release this year.Īt this point, Remedy has yet to address the situation. Some also prefer a physical copy of the game because they have slow internet connections at home. Plenty of fans online voiced their preference to buy physical editions for collection or archival purposes. Skipping a physical release allow the developers to avoid an ongoing trend of having players buy a disc only to require a separate download to play the game at launch.Īll things considered, Remedy makes several valid points about skipping a physical release, but fans aren't too happy.


Remedy Entertainment's recent inclusion in the PlayStation Showcase lineup was supposed to be a cause for celebration.
