[Update]: Alan Wake Remastered has now arrived, and so far it's exactly what you might expect - a newer, prettier version of the same old Alan Wake.

The aptly titled Alan Wake Remastered will bring with it 4K visuals, support for modern resolutions, reworked character models and cutscenes, as well as a variety of other visual improvements.

This one is specifically for the Xbox Series X version, but it should still give you a pretty good idea of what Alan Wake Remastered will actually look like. Have a peek:

In sharp contrast to the numerous action-adventures that task you with hacking and slashing your way through hordes of enemies, the freshly released Sable is all about exploring the world and soaking in the atmosphere.
