Remedy might not want to release Alan Wake 2 physically, but THQ Nordic does

After the news that remedy entertainment will not be released alan stela 2 physically, Nordic THQ has offered to do it in his place.

Last week, following the first gameplay trailer for Alan Wake 2, developer Remedy posted an FAQ stating that the upcoming sequel would receive a digital-only release. This obviously made for a bit of a controversial statement, since physical media is very important in the interest of preservation. In response, video game publisher THQ Nordic offered to do a physical release of the game, noting how it technically handled the physical release on PC when the first game released (it should be noted that this would have been through the original THQ). , which no longer exists).

“I mean… we made the disc version of Alan Wake for PC back in the day [in case you missed it]reads a tweet from the THQ Nordic Twitter account, rounding things off with a sly wink. “And just because ONE person (or company) doesn’t love the physical, there are many who still do. Think about it a bit. We would love to do it again! Full circle and all.” THQ Nordic also tagged the Twitter accounts of Alan Wake and Remedy Entertainment, but this is obviously a bit of a casual way of doing things, so who knows if anything will come of it.

Remedy explained Alan Wake 2’s choice to not have a physical release as a way to keep the price of the game lower, namely at $60, instead of $70. He also noted that many now play only on digital consoles, and that he didn’t want to “submit a disc product that requires a download for the game”, just because.

Who knows if Remedy will take up THQ Nordic’s offer, after all, it would still cost money to do something like that, so we’ll have to see.

Alan Wake 2 is scheduled to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on October 17.
