Alan Wake

Alan Wake originally launched on Steam on February 16, 2012, including two special episodes ("The Signal" and "The Writer") as part of the base game. Two DLC items were released: Developer Commentary (March 2, 2012) and Bonus Materials (December 17, 2013). A companion standalone title, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, was released separately on May 22, 2012. In May 2017, Remedy announced the game was being taken off sale due to expiring music license agreements, offering a final 90% discount. However, the game was subsequently returned to sale — it remains purchasable today — after Remedy resolved the licensing issues. A September 10, 2024 patch removed David Bowie's "Space Oddity" from the game, replacing it with an original song by composer Petri Alanko, indicating Remedy addressed the remaining licensing concerns to keep the game available. Both DLC items are released, no further content has been announced, and Remedy's own communications confirm the game's development concluded years ago. The game launched as a complete story-driven experience, and all planned post-launch content has shipped. The most recent developer action (the September 2024 music replacement patch) was a licensing maintenance update, not a content addition. This is a finished game.
