Gematsu: "The announcement of a new Alan Wake game is on the horizon. Remedy themselves confirmed it. What it is, exactly, we’re not quite sure. Rumors have suggested it to be an Xbox LIVE Arcade entry titled Alan Wake: Night Springs. Today, images for a new Alan Wake website, created by Anton Wiklund for Remedy, have surfaced."
Here's everything announced and revealed during The Galaxies Spring Showcase 2026, including Echoes of Aincrad, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, Northgard: Battlegrounds, Kitaria Fables 2, Phasmophobia x Alan Wake 2, and much more.
DF: "Alan Wake 2 is one of our games of the generation - a proper technical showcase - but with the arrival of Sony's upgraded PSSR upscaler, it's also a key proving ground for the capabilities of the revised technology. In its 60fps performance mode, the game's complex foliage, dense geometry and demanding lighting are paired with an internal 864p resolution, upscaled to 4K. It's a challenge that the original PSSR couldn't handle, sometimes comparing unfavourably with the original FSR2. However, the upgraded PSSR is a revelation by comparison."
I've already completed this game and everything else there is to do in it sadly, so I have no need to go back and enjoy the added enhancements that the new PSSR brings to this game. But I definitely want to go back and check out Control as I still haven't finished up all the DLC for that yet.
O definitely do Control is a longer game than Alan Wake 2! Plus there is an Alan Wake tie in with Control, plus you face off against a scary boss! That guy was hard asf man.
Jesse Faden the main character, has so many upgrades to her movesets, and object of power gun. Playing this game now to prepare for Control Resonant.
It’s a terrible and boring game.
No way I will ever go back to it . I really do not like Remedy’s touch
I've played through the game numerous times. It was my favorite game of 2023. I have so many other games to play. Could I go back and play it for a few minutes to appreciate some extra clarity in the distance? Sure. Would I rather play a game I haven't finished or played yet and enjoy the PSSR updates brought to those titles instead? Yes.
I mean im kinda with Neonridr on this, like when i game is so good you get everything you can out of it, a slightly shaper image is cool but not worth the hassle of install/update etc
It's mad they can take a 864p image and make it close to a 4K image. This tech is gonna do so much for console gaming
the crazier part is, sometimes enabling this kind of AI upscaling tech actually produces a BETTER image than natively rendering at 4K (and to be clear, I'm not talking about DLSS5's AI slop that takes creativity away from the game developers).
Dunno why you're getting downvotes there is actually instances of this happening. Stellar Blade being one of them. DF reported the PSSR mode looks better than the native 4K mode. Im assuming its PSSR from 1440p or higher. So imagine with the 2.0 update
Strange that the other story on the frontpage with AI upscaling involved is receiving a hugely negative response in the comments but a Playstation AI upscaler story...well that's just great!
No it's still bad, just not nearly as egregious, but there's definitely a sizeable (and growing) group of gamers who dislike any TAA/DLSS/AI upscale in general, myself included. Every time there's some update to one of these upscaling methods I roll my eyes because only when we improve from the issues can we address the issues, but when talking outside of an improvement or update suddenly there's no issues and we're The crazy ones for criticizing AI upscaling
That's because one is changing the art (characters faces) and one is making things look sharper. Isnt because it's PlayStation.
CONTROL Ultimate Edition and Alan Wake 2 will support new PSSR.
This more advanced version of PSSR will soon be available to all PlayStation 5 Pro owners, bringing noticeable improvements in image stability clarity of motion.
Explore the Oldest House and Bright Falls with a new level of visual fidelity.
Such a weird post by them. Apparently they just mean the system wide toggle. Which is perfectly fine. This is based off a post they made after this post.
Not sure what's weird about that. The update being system wide is basically free marketing for any game using the tech. I assume they already have access to the update and are happy with the results.
Why is it weird for a dev to let people know their game runs better now? If they didn’t mention it that would be weird
I just mean they worded it like they did a custom thing...which they could do by tweaking base resolution if the upgraded pssr allows it with no image drawbacks. I'd be down for that.
Alan Wake flopped, so will this. Not saying it wasn't brilliant, one of my favorites this gen, it's just the gamers of this gen that let IT down.
HELL YEAH!
Can't wait. One of my most anticipated E3 (Hopefully) reveals.
I freaking loved alan wake. I still hope the next Alan Wake is Zane's story.
My issue with Remedy is they pretty much lied when it came towards info on the PC version, which is non-existent now.
Still remember that Intel conference.
There is no confirmation from Remedy that this guy is doing work for them, in the article it even states;
“This 3D render was made for a website themed for the game – Alan Wake”.
It was made for a website theme, could just be a random fan site that this guy is working for.
Remedy haven't denied the fact this guy has a connection though, and they have responded in their official forums about this, saying the usual "no comment" thing.
If they aren't denying it, there's a good chance this guy IS indeed working for them or they would have shot it down.
Interesting....
