18th September 2025 Petri Alanko Talk At MCM London Expo 2025 October [Plus UK Remedyverse Community Meet-Up]

If you're in London this October, you may want to check out MCM London Expo! On October 25th (Sunday), Petri Alanko will be taking part in a special talk describing his journey of scoring the Remedy Connected Universe. 

If you're on this site, you'll likely already know that Alanko has been the incredible composer who has been scoring Remedy's adventures since Alan Wake back in 2010. Since then, he has created music for Death Rally (2011), Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Quantum Break, CrossFire X, Control, and Alan Wake 2.  Though that is just a small snippet of his long-lasting and stunning career. 

On the Saturday, he will be taking to the Live Stage for a conversation with Lewis Packwood (GamesIndustry.biz Features Editor) as they explore his creative process. If you're unable to make it, panels and talks are often uploaded on YouTube following the event. 

Described as “the biggest Pop Culture celebration in the UK”, MCM London Expo will be held between 24th - 26th October 2025. The three-day event is dedicated to nerd culture, spotlighting anime, video games, TV, and film. Returning once again to the ExCeL in central London, the exhibition centre is situated next door to the DLR and Elizabeth Line, and is surrounded by hotels for attendees. Tickets start at £36.55 for the Saturday, and can be purchased online. You can find more information about the event on their website, HERE.

That's not the only Remedy-related activity taking part that weekend. Amelia Rose Blaire who starred in Quantum Break as university campaigner, Amy Ferrero will be in attendance and taking part in signings and photoshoots.

Plus, there is a nerdy gathering hosted by the UK Remedyverse Community! They are getting into the Halloween spirit with a spooky Yötön Yö themed meet. Cosplay is not mandatory but appreciated. (Though no word yet on the human sacrificing.) They will be meeting at 12pm on October 25th “under the shelter on the green” directly in front of the entrance. For those travelling for the first time, don't worry, you can't miss it.

16th September 2025 Epic Games Store End of Summer Sale with Control & Alan Wake Franchises

While the Steam sale may be over, The Epic Games Store End of Summer Sale is currently ongoing, with both Control and Alan Wake franchises in the spotlight.

For those yet to continue Alan's adventure in the sequel, both the base game and season pass are available at 70% off, providing the game at its cheapest (so far!). The same can also be said for Control; with the sequel coming up, the -90% discount provides an approachable entry price to the experience.

Check out the full catalogue involved in the End of Summer Sale, HERE!

.

Alan Wake

Our favourite game series, Alan Wake, is taking part in the End of Summer Sale! We are heavily biased but if you haven't already, make sure to check it out! If you're looking for the original adventures; Alan Wake and Alan Wake's American Nightmare are both available at -90% off.

Alan Wake Remastered, which consists of the original base game and DLC packs, reimagined by d3t is available at -85%.

In Alan Wake (and Alan Wake Remastered), you become trapped in a mystery "When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love." It's spin-off adventure, American Nightmare, takes a different turn, inspired by B-Movie Classics and Quentin Tarantino films.  The story takes place in an episode of Night Springs, written by Alan as a way to escape the Dark Place.

And finally, Alan Wake 2 (exclusive to PC via the Epic Games Store) is at a staggering -70% off. With the game only released a couple of years ago, that is an excellent price, particularly if you were waiting for an excuse. While Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition is still full price, you can buy the base game and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Upgrade at that same -70% off discount. 

In the highly-awaited sequel, the story picks up in real time almost thirteen years later. Playing as FBI Agent Saga Anderson, you search for the dark truth haunting Bright Falls, with eclipsing levels by Alan Wake as he struggles to escape his prison while haunted by an individual which bears a remarkable similarity.
