Last weekend, we saw Othello at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, with the brilliant @davidharewood.bsky.social.

The performance is full of complex and escalating emotion, and Harewood does a mesmerising job at building up the character. If you can, check it out in London before January 17th.

It's been two years since Alan Wake 2 launched! ☕ What was your favourite moment from the game and why? We want to hear your moments of joy, nostalgia, and heartbreak!

(If you've yet to finish the game, the adventure is best explored fresh, so you may want to steer away from the comments.)

In celebration of their 30th anniversary, we had the opportunity to ask Remedy five questions about their history. For our interview, we spoke to @mikaelkasurinen.bsky.social, Markus Mäki (Chief Product Officer) and @vidaisonline.bsky.social.

🎉 Check it out: www.alanwake.info/2025/09/10th... #RMD30

#ThrowbackThursday In their review, Jesse Cox went all out for Control, a game that he labels as his Game of the Year. His 35-minute video goes IN DEPTH and is packed with nerdy references and features the Director herself.

Back in June, Mikhail (@mls532.bsky.social) wrote an in-depth article about what Remedy's forth announced project could be. In the piece, he explores one of the RCU's most mysterious characters...

Thanks to @remedygames.com & @vidaisonline.bsky.social for this wonderful Alan Wake 2 Collector's Edition. They kindly sent it earlier this year. It arrived during The Great Plague of 2025; perfectly timed for making me feel better, but terribly timed for a functional brain to thank them. THANK YOU!

In the forefront is the grinning coffee pot mascot surrounded by cardboard designs of a moose and a bear. Artwork by Oliver Ödmark from the Alan Wake 2 Collector's Edition artbook. In the spotlighted page, Alan is in a stairwell, reaching out towards another version of himself laying on the floor. Both Alans are wearing their grey tweed jacket, with a lamp illuminating each of them.

For a fun project, Yasmin explored the question of who Freya Anderson could be, creating a stunning beautiful five-part character concept which brings in both Alan Wake lore and Norse mythology.

Community Spotlight, Yasmin Da Silva. An incredible artist who delved deeper into who Freya Anderson could be. Their five-part character concept wonderfully unites both Alan Wake lore and Norse Mythology. There are three images showing segments of her artwork. The first shows Freya with different hairstyles; plaits and loose. The second features various locket designs inspired by norse mythology. The final image is Freya in various outfits; autumnal coloured jackets over an Old Gods of Asgard t-shirt.

Ollie T's debut tour recently wrapped up! Known for his epic guitar solos w. Poets of the Fall & Old Gods of Asgard, back in December he launched his first solo album, with a tour in the Spring.

Hands up if you saw him play live! 🙌

Earlier this year, SweetEllisCookies released a range of cookie magnets, allowing her wonderful Alan Wake designs to be preserved. They were all unbelievable, but we couldn't resist the Scratch and Night Springs.

🍪 Visit her store at www.etsy.com/shop/SweetEl...
Two cookies protected in resin, against pink wool. The first cookie reads "Scratch" in yellow, green and purple graffiti, mimicking the name painted in Alan Wake 2. The second cookie is the Night Springs logo against black icing and speckled teal.
