Join Alan Wake on His Battle Against Darkness in the New Fortnite's Alan Wake: Flashback!

Fortnite is no stranger to crossovers and collaborations; it’s the game’s bread and butter.

Titled "Alan Wake: Flashback," this replayable recap has been creatively developed by Remedy, Spiral House and Zen Creative and can be accessed in Fortnite using the Island Code: 3426-5561-3374.
