Update: Alan Wake has received two more ra𒁃tings for the Nintendo Switch, this time from the ESRB and PEGI. 

An Alan Wake Nintendo Switch release is now looking more likely than ever after the game was rated for the Nintendo console not once but three times  - first by the Brazil Advisory Rating Board and now by the , which rates releases for the US and Canada, and , which does the equivalent across Europe. 

These two ratings havꦓe got fans speculating even more that perhaps developer Remedy has plans to bring Alan Wake to the Nintendo Switch via the Cloud, similar to the studio’s other hit game Control. There’s been no official word from Remedy yet though, so don't start preparing for pre-orders just yet. 

Original: Alan Wake Remastered could be coming to t🌊he Nintendo Switch if a new rating of the game is anything to go by. 

According to , the Alan Wake remake has been classified by the Brazil Advisory Rating Board for PS4, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5, Xbox One, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Although the maj⭕ority of those consoles have already been confirmed to get an Alan Wake release, the news that it may also be coming to Nintendo Switch is new. 

It’s possible that the studio behind the remaster could be planning to recreate what it did with another one of its games, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Control. Rather than release the game in the same way as they did on other consoles, Remedy opted to instead release Control Ultimate Edition for Nintendo Switch as a cloud version. 

This meant that you’d need a reliable internet connection to stream the game on your Nintendo Switch rather than just insert a cartridge or download it onto your console. However, let’s not make too many assumptions yet as it still hasn’t 🌺officially been confirmed that Alan Wake is even coming to Nintendo Switch, let alone if it will be a cloud version or not. 

Alan Wake was originally released on Xbox 360 and PC bac🏅k in 2010. The action-adventure game follows the story of Alan Wake, a best-selling thriller novelist who is trying to uncover the mystery behind his wife’s disappearance. In typical Remedy fashion though, this isn’t as simple as it sounds as Wake will also encounter events from the plot of his latest novel, one that he can’t remember writing. 

Alan Wake Remastered has been confirmed to release on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X on October 5, 2021. For now, we’ll just have to keep our fingers cro𝕴ssed that it’ll also make its way to Nintendo Swit༺ch soon.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a✨ half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom🔯 Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
