Alan Wake Flashback is Now Available in Fortnite

Alan Wake has made an appearance in Fortnite with a special island retelling events from the game. Alan Wake: Flashback is a reimagining built using the Unreal Editor. It allows Fortnite players to witness locations and story elements from Remedy’s survival horror game. It will offer players a recap of the events of the game ahead of the release of Alan Wake 2 on October 27, 2023.

Built in collaboration with Remedy, Spiral House, and Zen Creative, Alan Wake: Flashback allows players to explore Bright Falls. The island’s reveal trailer showed locations including the cabin on Cauldron Lake, the Oh Deer Diner and the sawmill. Ghostly images of events from the first Alan Wake will occasionally flash up around the player, and scenery will be moved around by dark forces.

Alan Wake: Flashback can be accessed through Discover or by using the code 3426-5561-3374.

This is not the only Alan Wake content coming to Fortnite, however. Alan himself will be available as an outfit in the Item Shop from October 26, 2023 as part of the Fortnitemares season. Other cosmetic items will also be available, including Alan’s Messenger Bag Back Bling. Both Alan and the Messenger Bag will also be available to players who pre-order Alan Wake 2 from the Epic Store.

Alan Wake 2 will be released for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 27, 2023. Alan Wake: Flashback is available now in Fortnite.
