14th May 2018 Alan Wake Eighth Anniversary Giveaway Win a Copy of Alan Wake on Steam! [ENDED]

Today marks the eight years since Alan Wake launched! Happy Birthday Alan Wake!

Released eight years ago today, Alan Wake was originally an XBOX 360 exclusive title before coming to PC two years later. To coincide with the launch of Quantum Break in 2016, the game was made backwards compatible on the XBOX One, a reveal first teased during E3 2015. While the release wasn't the smoothest, releasing the same day as Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption, it received positive reviews gaining 82% on Metacritic and has become a beloved cult classic in the games industry.

For Remedy fans who have yet to play Alan Wake, this giveaway is for you!

The Prize

The prize is a Steam copy of Alan Wake! The game was removed from stores last May due to the music licensing expiring, but pre-bought codes still can be redeemed and we have one to give away. If you didn't get the opportunity to purchase the game while it was available, this is the perfect chance to get a copy!

(The game was originally purchased on The Humble Store, where a portion of the game's price was donated to Cats Protection UK.)


Official Synopsis for Alan Wake:

When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.

Presented in the style of a TV series, Alan Wake features the trademark Remedy storytelling and pulse-pounding action sequences. As players dive deeper and deeper into the mystery, they’ll face overwhelming odds, plot twists, and cliffhangers. It’s only by mastering the Fight With Light combat mechanic that they can stay one step ahead of the darkness that spreads across Bright Falls.

With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological thriller, Alan Wake’s intense atmosphere, deep and multilayered story, and exceptionally tense combat sequences provide players with an entertaining and original gaming experience.

For this competition there will be one (1) winner. (Don't worry we'll be offering more prizes in future competitions and giveaways. So if you don't win in this competition, there will be more chances!) The winning entry will be chosen based on the most personally persuasive argument. The winner will be contacted within one week of the competition finishing.

The competition will end Sunday 20th May 2016 at 18:00 BST (GMT +1).
