As October draws towards a close, a new dawn arises over Cauldron Lake and the dark streets of a twisted New York City call from the Dark Place.

However, a Remedy X post recently revealed the specific global release times for Alan Wake releasing on October 27. As pictured below, the below Tweet details exactly when you can start playing the game according to your timezone.
