Remedy is celebrating Alan Wake’s 10th birthday by bringing it to Xbox Game Pass

Remedy Entertainment’s action thriller Alan Wake is coming to Xbox Game Pass as part of its tenth anniversary celebrations.

The 2010 Xbox game will join the Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC libraries on May 21, the developer confirmed on Thursday.

Alan Wake follows a best-selling thriller novelist as he tries to uncover the mystery behind his wife’s disappearance, all while experiencing events from his latest book which he cannot remember writing.

Control studio Remedy acquired the publishing rights to Alan Wake last summer from original publisher Microsoft.

Remedy already owned the IP rights for Alan Wake, but it said it can now publish existing games Alan Wake and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare – both of which were Xbox 360 console exclusives – on other platforms, should it choose to do so.

Remedy’s creative director Sam Lake told IGN he’d like to make a sequel to Alan Wake, but that any follow-up to the title would need “to be done right if it’s ever done.”

Remedy recently signed publishing agreements with Epic Games for the company’s next two unannounced games.

The first Remedy project in the deal is a “AAA multi-platform game” already in pre-production, the company said, while the second is a “smaller-scale” project set in the same franchise. Both projects are being developed on Remedy’s proprietary Northlight game engine and tools.
