There’s another Alan Wake game in the works — but this one was built inside of Fortnite. Today, Epic Games announced the launch of Alan Wake: Flashback, a Fortnite experience that “reimagines Remedy Entertainment’s iconic story.” It’s available for free inside the game right now using the island code 3426-5561-3374.
Here’s the official description for the new game, which takes roughly 25 minutes to play through and is designed to catch players up on the story:
Based on the award-winning cinematic action-thriller, Alan Wake: Flashback reimagines Remedy Entertainment’s iconic story in Fortnite. Troubled author Alan Wake embarks on a desperate search for his missing wife, Alice. 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.
Flashback is launching just ahead of the next mainline title in the series, with Alan Wake 2 releasing on October 27th. Its eponymous hero, meanwhile, will be a playable character in Fortnite starting on October 26th as part of the game’s Halloween event. (Those who have purchased Alan Wake 2 in the Epic Game Store before the 27th will get the outfit for free.)
