18th May 2023 Alan Wake's 13th Anniversary [Video Message & Community Creations]

The number thirteen often gets a bad rep, but this year marks Alan Wake's 13th anniversary and the launch of Alan Wake 2, so maybe it's not all bad.

To celebrate the recent anniversary of the original game's launch just days ago, Ilkka Villi (likeness, motion capture, and live-action actor for Alan), Matthew Porretta (the voice of Alan) and Sam Lake (Creative Director) recorded a special message for fans. Check the video out below:

And when he swore to bring back his love
By stories he'd create
Nightmares shifted endlessly
In the darkness of the lake
