"The idea that the tales told in some of our games would be connected to each other, a connected world of stories and events with shared characters and lore." Over at the PlayStation Blog yesterday, Communications Director Thomas Puha introduced the phrase "Remedy Connected Universe," and Lake promises that the AWE expansion is "just a humble beginning" for it. "For over 10 years, we've had a crazy dream," writes Creative Director Sam Lake over at Remedy's website. The AWE expansion for Control, launching on August 27 (the game's one-year anniversary), will officially be the first link in what's being called the "Remedy Connected Universe," but it won't stop there: Remedy says it's working on a whole new game in the universe. With Mass Effect 5 not expected until at least 2025, Frostbite might be a little old and creaky by that time, so the UE5 move would be prudent for game quality and portability, even if there are licensing fees.Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email State of Play presentation confirmed what's been pretty obvious for close to a year now: Control, Remedy's latest game, takes place in the same universe as Alan Wake. However, UE5 might provide irresistible – though everything is still on the table – due to various superior features such as dealing with complex ambient world animation, and the work Epic continues to do in developing and future-proofing UE.

The story goes that BioWare built the first three Mass Effect games using Unreal, but EA wanted the franchise to switch to its own Frostbite, originally developed for Battlefield, saving royalty payments. Mass Effect might move to Unreal Engine 5Īccording to an EA job listing, and EA insiders talking to Venture Beat, the next Mass Effect game might eschew the Frostbite engine, instead adopting Unreal Engine 5. For existing fans of the game, it’s an opportunity to experience the best version of Alan Wake yet."

It isn't a great surprise to see this remaster surface again, as it was spotted on an Epic Games Store update in June. However, it wasn't a data error, rather a date error, as games industry analyst Daniel Ahmad confirmed on the thread that the remaster "will be announced next week". Spotted by Twitter's Wario 64, these listings appear to have been removed. On Sunday, retail listings for Alan Wake Remastered were spotted on Rakuten Taiwan.
