After Remedy Entertainment announced that Alan Wake 2 would only be available digitally, many were surprised by this decision.

THQ Nordic (publisher of the first part of Alan Wake) offered to resume business cooperation with Remedy and release disc versions of the new thriller.

What is known

Remedy’s decision was dictated by a reluctance to raise the cost of the game, but THQ Nordic believes it should not detract from the fun of gamers who prefer physical copies of games.

@alanwake @remedygames I mean… we did the disc version of Alan Wake for PC back in the day ICYMI 😉
And just because ONE person (or company) does not love physical, there is plenty who still do. Give it some thought. We’d love to go at it again! Full circle and all.
