With Alan Wake 2 at long last launching on 27th October, players in need of a primer on the events of the first game have a few options to hand: Play the excellent original in the form of Alan Wake Remastered, recap the story via Youtube videos or Wiki entries, or (most exciting of all), dive into the Alan Wake: Flashback limited-time experience in Fortnite, developed in collaboration with Remedy Entertainment. What a time to be alive!
Alan Wake: Flashback is live now, and you can access it free of charge by entering the code 3426-5561-3374, which is a pretty fun idea. Here, players can shine a light on critical events from the first game, refresh their memories, and prepare their minds for the trials ahead.
