It is no shock thatAlan Wakehas a huge following, given the massive success of the latest addition to the franchise,Alan Wake 2,which was released late last year. Remedy’sAlan Wake 2, although it didn’t do the sales they may have liked, still managed to bring in a few trophies at The Game Awards.
With the success of the franchise and the rather large fan base, it is no wonder that in 2022, the powerhouse of television, AMC, bought the rights forAlan Waketo make a television adaptation of the game, but there has been no further development since then.
Is the Alan Wake TV series ever going to happen?
Many fans are still left wondering if this television adaptation is ever going to happen. Fans ofAlan Wakehave been left hanging, waiting in suspense to see if the adaptation will ever hit their television screens. With no updates since 2022, fans are predicting that it has long been overdue, but it may be heading in the same direction as theGears of Waradaptation, never happening.
Alan Wakeis a 2010 action-adventure game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Game Studios, which was later remastered and released in 2021. This game is set around a best-selling crime thriller novel, Alan Wake, about a man haunted by his wife’s mysterious disappearance while on holiday in a small fictional American town called Bright Falls. On his travels, he relives events from his latest novel that he can’t remember writing.
Alan Wakeis full of plot twists as you travel through areas of Bright Falls. While you traverse through these areas at various times of the day in the nighttime sequences, you will fight against murderous enemies called the Taken, which are citizens, animals, or even objects from Bright Falls being taken over by an entity known as the darkness. These Taken attackAlan Wake, who has to defend himself with various weapons at his disposal.
With these enemies, they are protected by a shield of darkness, making them initially invulnerable They can be injured by firearms when exposed to light. With all the elements to this game, turning this epic game into a television horror show could draw in fans from all over, not only gamers but horror fans alike. With the lack of any updates from AMC, will it happen?
Another adaptation that may never happen
Another of the television industry that has a mass following is Netflix In November 2022, they announced theGears of Wartelevision adaptation of the award-winning game loved by many across the world With the following this game has, it should be a no-brainer that someone would turn it into a television series, but fans left, wanting and hoping for an update on what could be a fantastic action series.
Gears of Waris set on an Earth-like planet, Sera, where the planet has been at war for years. Just as the two factions agree to an armistice, a subterranean alien species lands, and within the first 26 hours of being on the planet, they wipe out 25% of the human population. As you play through the game, you will slay your way through the enemies known as the locust horde. There are so many different avenues Netflix could go down to make a fantastic television adaptation ofGears of War,and yet we’ve been waiting years.
Whilst AMC announced plans for anAlan Waketv adaptation back in 2022, we’ve heard nothing since, and just like the long-mutedGears of Waradaptation, this spells trouble.
