This is just awesome. Remedy’s Markus has just revealed the PC Patch roadmap for Alan Wake and PC gamers will get on their hands two updates by the end of next week. Remedy will release a patch this week that will address various issues that are already fixed. Sadly, SLI support won’t be included but there is a high probability to see it in the second patch that is slated for release next week. Unfortunately for all 3D lovers, Stereoscopic 3D will take a backseat and will be improved at a future patch. You can view the changelog for the upcoming patches below. Enjoy!
