Phasmophobia is getting its first-ever collab—and it’s a perfect fit

At the Galaxies Showcase that aired today, April 16, Phasmophobia shared one of the biggest announcements it has ever seen. For the first time ever, the ghost-hunting game is getting a collaboration, and it’s a massive one that involves a gaming legend.

On May 12, a special Alan Wake event will arrive in Phasmophobia, bringing the chilling atmosphere from the world of the iconic crime thriller novelist to the already haunting ghost investigation game. It seems like a truly perfect match made in heaven–or perhaps, hell–as both games center around investigators uncovering dark, supernatural, twisted mysteries.

This event will introduce a new presence that takes over familiar maps, lurking in the shadows to twist investigations in unique ways players have never before seen. The Dark Place, a supernatural location that’s prominent throughout the Alan Wake franchise, will bleed into Phasmophobia, bringing some terrifying new spooks to encounter as the realities of both games bleed into each other.

The Alan Wake crossover is a limited-time event, similar to the seasonal events we get each year in Phasmophobia, such as Winter’s Jest, Crimson Eye, and Cursed Hollow. The exact gameplay and features of this collaboration event are unknown, though, so we’ll have to wait and see as more details are revealed closer to launch.

Sam Lake, the Creative Director at Remedy Entertainment, told Destructoid that it was a “thrilling opportunity to bring these two horror worlds together in this dream–or rather, nightmare–collaboration.” He also added that the “two twisted worlds” featured in Alan Wake and Phasmophobia “amplify each other perfectly.”

Daniel Knight, the CEO of Kinetic Games, called this event a “natural crossover,” and added that “the way these two worlds overlap has opened up some unsettling possibilities” that bring plenty of exciting new opportunities for players to explore, regardless of whether they’re familiar with both games or not.

A short teaser trailer for this event crossover was also shared alongside the announcement, providing a bit more insight into what we can expect to see when it launches. This trailer mentions the investigator discovering signs of “two worlds colliding,” with clues and mysteries strewn around various locations, all of which originate from Alan Wake’s writing.

The Alan Wake limited-time event officially arrives on May 12. It’s unknown how long it’ll be around for, but since this is an exclusive collaboration, you’ll want to ensure you don’t miss out, as it likely won’t return in the future. Events usually last at least a month or so, which means there’s a decent chance we can expect this one to as well. When the event is released, it’ll go live for Phasmophobia across all platforms, offering players everywhere a chance to dive in and uncover the details of this new twisted tale.

The People of Tortuga is one of several factions in Windrose, and finding the buyer can be a headscratcher. You might think that you’ll find them in Tortuga. That’s where the problem is: they’re at a different location.

This guide will help you find the People of Tortuga faction so that you can find the buyer and interact with him.

How to find the Tortuga faction in Windrose

Since the map of Windrose is procedurally generated, sharing the location of the People of Tortuga faction might not workout for you. Instead, here’s how you can find the faction quite easily.

• Keep grinding the missions until you receive the Buccaneers quest.
• This is a faction quest that you can undertake at character level 3.
• The first task of the quest is to get 50 bags of gunpowder for the Buccaneers and deliver them to Henri Boucher.
• The second task is to deliver the shipment of tanned hides to Charlie Sharpe.
• Charlie Sharpe, incidentally, belongs to the People of Tortuga faction.
• If you open the map now, the quest location will highlight where Chalie Sharpe is located. This is the same place where the People of Tortuga Faction can be found.

Complete the second task of Buccaneers, and you’ll have found the location of the People of Tortuga Faction. This is the most consistent method of finding the faction. Typically, you’ll find them at a hideout slightly distant from Tortuga.

Once you find the hideout, you’ll also find the trader waiting for you at the same location. You can then proceed with your transactions. If you want to focus back on the Buccaneers’ quest, there will be one more task for you to complete.
