We've been expecting Remedy Entertainment to revisit the Alan Wake IP for quite some time now, having acquired the rights from Microsoft and re-introduced the titular character in an expansion for another game, Control. Now, it looks like we'll be getting an Alan Wake Remaster, and it won't be long before we get our hands on it.
In a retail listing, Rakuten Taiwan revealed PlayStation and Xbox versions of Alan Wake Remastered, as well as a 5th of October release date. According to analyst Daniel Ahmad, Remedy is planning to officially announce Alan Wake Remastered and its release date next week.
Will be announced next week

Currently, Remedy Entertainment is working on several projects, one of which is believed to be a long-awaited sequel to Alan Wake. Before we get to that though, we'll be getting a chance to re-experience the original game with this new remaster.
Given that this information has already leaked, Remedy should be quick to confirm the game and its release date early next week.
KitGuru Says: If all of this holds true, there will be a very quick turnaround from announcement to release for Alan Wake Remastered. Will any of you be picking this up once it drops?
