The 3D Realms published and Troglobytes Games developed The Kindeman Remedy has released today on PC. PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch versions will be released at a later date. The Kindeman Remedy is a warped game about a disgraced doctor and morally bankrupt nun performing experiments on prisoners in an attempt to create a breakthrough treatment.

After Alan Wake 2, all eyes are on Remedy, and the studio has plenty in store. It announced today that its previously announced project with Tencent will be rebooted with a few significant changes. In 2021, it was announced that Remedy and Tencent are partnering up to make a free-to-play co-op title. Codenamed Vanguard, the game is being developed with the Unreal Engine instead of Remedy’s in-house Northlight engine, and there are plans to release it on PC and consoles. With the reboot, the project has been renamed…

Remedy's latest title, Alan Wake II, is garnering rave reviews and is a surefire game of the year contender. The studio will be hoping to build on that success with the several other games it has in the works, including a Control sequel and co-op spinoff. However, Remedy is going back to the drawing board with another game it has been piecing together.It emerged in 2021 that the studio was working on a free-to-play co-op shooter with Tencent. Given the uncertainty of the market for free-to-play multiplayer games, though,…

Vanguard had been announced in December 2021 along with the news that Chinese publisher Tencent would be brought on to localize and distribute the game in China. It had originally been billed as “a free-to-play, co-operative PvE shooter that combines Remedy’s narrative expertise and action gameplay into an immersive multiplayer experience.”However, this latest announcement said that such an idea wasn’t working out anymore. “Due to uncertainties in creating a successful game to the rapidly changing free-to-play market and…

There’s plenty to appreciate in Alan Wake 2 including the clever use of music and lyrics. One catchy song in particular has been popular enough to inspire a fan-made music video for it. Some mild spoilers are ahead. In Initiation 4: We Sing, Alan finds himself in a weird musical featuring Sam Lake, Mr Door, and the Old Gods of Asgard. The chapter mixes live action with animation, and it provides lyrics so that you can sing along while catching up on the plot thus far. An unofficial video has been made by blending…

Alan Wake 2 launches this fall, and for many players, it will mark the arrival of a project that once seemed impossible. The sequel 13 years in waiting is nearly upon us, which is exciting in its own right, but Remedy's first-ever survival-horror game is just one part of a bigger rollout of upcoming games from Remedy. The team used to take a long time between games, having released only six total between 1996 and 2012, but Remedy has picked up the pace since then, with four console games since 2016 and a…

When Alan Wake 2 releases on October 17, it will be the culmination of more than a decade of planning. Though Alan Wake 2 is a project that creative director Sam Lake says he always believed would happen one day, it didn't always appear that way on the outside, and in that time it's taken on different shapes--most of them never seen by the public. 13 years is a long time between a story and its sequel, especially for a game so wrapped up in Remedy's tangled web known as the Remedy Connected Universe. Now…

For all the coffee you’ll spill playing Alan Wake 2 Video game merch can be hit or miss for me, but one in particular caught my eye this morning. Remedy Entertainment is teaming up with Finnish lighting company Airam to release a special Oh Deer Diner thermos inspired by Alan Wake. The special thermos is slated to arrive in September 2023, just ahead of Alan Wake 2, on Remedy’s storefront. As you might remember from the first Alan Wake, you could get an achievement for finding the hidden thermos bottles littered…

Earlier in the week, Sony’s PlayStation showcase featured a variety of video games that are meant to release in the coming months (if not years). Among the big triple-A games featured was Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake II, which aims to go all in on survival horror in a deeper way than the original 2010 game. And part of that jump into the genre also involves introducing some new blood into the series.The First Things To Do In VR, Part 2Much of the newest trailer for Alan Wake II takes place from the perspective of FBI…

Image via Marvel Studios/Disney On one hand, Disney seems to have perfected its arsenal of how to pacify disgruntled fans and outright critics based on how The Little Mermaid has left no space for hate as it ambushed the detractors in three different — and evidently potent — ways.  But some wounds are hard to heal. Though the House of Mouse seems to have amended its relationship with the Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson, turns out memories of the whole debacle are still very fresh and raw in her memories.…
