Epic Games Store backend data suggests the PC storefront will add Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and an unannounced Alan Wake remaster.
Posted to the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit by AsleepEntrepreneur73 and AwareReplacement1587, both apparent leaks come from the EpicData website, which tracks updates to the Epic Games Store.
While both games have been added under codenames, their listed cloud save folder directories mention legitimate game names. Alan Wake Remastered is listed as 'HeronStaging', while Final Fantasy 7 Remake is listed under 'Pineapple' – you can see the games' real titles by clicking 'customAttributes' and then 'CloudSaveFolder'.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/01/how-control-and-alan-wake-are-linked"]It's worth pointing out that there's no guarantee either of these games will arrive on the service – both entries were originally created in 2019 and 2020 respectively, and have seemingly remained undiscovered until now. However, both have been updated this year, so they would appear to be ongoing ideas, rather than simple placeholders.
Back in 2020, we learned that FInal Fantasy 7 Remake would be a PlayStation exclusive until at least April 2021 – with that deadline now passed, it's conceivable that the game would see a release on PC in the not-too-distant future. That said, the updated Intergrade version of the game will itself be a six-month exclusive on PS5 – if Square Enix understandably preferred to release the new-gen upgrade for PC, then we'd be looking at a December release at the earliest.
Alan Wake Remastered has never been formally announced – but it makes sense as an Epic Games Store release. We know that developer Remedy is currently creating two games to be published by Epic, both set in a shared universe. We also know that one of those games is a AAA title, while the other is a smaller project – it could well be that the smaller project is a remaster of the original Alan Wake game, with many hoping that the AAA experience is a full Alan Wake sequel.
