Tracked sources for Alan Wake were limited between 2024-02-16 and 2025-02-16, with only 1 verified change captured in this window. The recorded activity centers on Removed 'Space Oddity' and Added 'Strange Moons' and sits between Release of Alan Wake's American Nightmare on 2012-05-22 (dlc_release) and no later tracked updates in the current dataset, making this a light but still readable period in the game's history.

  • Verified activity: 2024-09-10 - Removed 'Space Oddity' and Added 'Strange Moons': Removed 'Space Oddity' by David Bowie due to licensing changes and replaced it with a new original song by Petri Alanko, titled 'Strange Moons'..
  • What stands out: The period is defined more by a small number of isolated updates than by a large roadmap beat or expansion-sized release.
  • Before this window: The closest earlier tracked activity was Release of Alan Wake's American Nightmare on 2012-05-22 (dlc_release).
  • After this window: No later tracked activity is present in the current dataset.
