Fortnite is introducing Alan Wake: Flashback, a reimagined version of the original award-winning thriller released in 2010. This new version brings the enigmatic world of Alan Wake to life in the action-packed setting of Fortnite, just a couple of weeks before the end of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4. Alan Wake: Flashback was crafted using the Unreal Editor for Fortnite and is a collaborative creation of Epic Games, Remedy Entertainment, Spiral House, and Zen Creative. It promises an eerie narrative that fans of the original game will likely appreciate, featuring a mysterious journey alongside Alan Wake as he searches for his missing wife, who vanished under mysterious circumstances in the Pacific Northwest town of Bright Falls.

Players can access Alan Wake: Flashback within the Discover section or by using the designated island code 3426-5561-3374. But it doesn't stop there. Starting from October 26, players will be able to access the Waking Nightmare set in the Fortnite Item Shop, alongside the already available features of Fortnitemares 2023.

This exclusive set includes the Alan Wake Outfit and other in-game cosmetics from Alan Wake's unsettling universe. Furthermore, players who have already purchased any of the Alan Wake 2 editions on the Epic Game Store before October 27, 2024, at 11:59 PM ET will be rewarded with early access to the Alan Wake Outfit and Alan's Messenger Bag Back Bling in Fortnite, beginning on October 10.

The fusion of these two iconic gaming worlds is an exciting event for fans of both franchises. Alan Wake: Flashback allows players to immerse themselves in the dark and enigmatic narrative that the original Alan Wake game delivered so brilliantly, offering some comfort after the disappointing news that fans received about the possibility of an Alan Wake'sAmerican Nightmare remaster.

Fortnite is available now for Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
