Remedy is making some changes to the original Alan Wake game, specifically to the credits. Due to changes in licensing, David Bowie’s song “Space Oddity” will be removed from the credits and replaced by an original song called “Strange Moons” by Petri Alanko.
“Strange Moons” is written from the point of view of an astronaut who is having some problems, which fits well with the game’s dark and mysterious atmosphere. Alanko has mentioned that this song was not completely new, as a section of it was originally in a level in the game that was cut out before release.
This change will take effect on September 10th, when the game is updated on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. It’s interesting to see how licensing issues can affect games, even years after their release.
