Game Overview:
Alan Wake 2 is a survival horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games.
Unlike its predecessor, it is an out-and-out survival horror experience.
Accessible anytime, the Mind Place is where Saga investigates the case, arranging clues on the Case Board and checking objectives.
Creative director Sam Lake says the team created a new concept for Alan Wake 2 "between every game project we have made."
Remedy's head of VFX Johannes Richter does reiterate that the focus is more on "spine-chilling atmosphere and psychological frights."
"We didn't want to release something that we weren't proud of, basically, and we didn't want players to play," said Remedy's Kyle Rowley.
With Alan Wake 2's release quickly approaching, we analyse the many factors surrounding its release and deduce whether or not the game is sailing through some troubled waters at the moment.
Remedy Entertainment is looking at "modern" films like Hereditary and Midsommar in addition to "classic art-house horror films."
Remedy Entertainment's long-awaited survival horror sequel is going to be e meaty experience, the developer has revealed.
"Whether they buy Alan Wake 2 or Spider-Man 2 isn’t really what we’re thinking about. We just want to put forward our game and present it to the players," says co-director Kyle Rowley.
Players will have the freedom to choose which character they want to play as and experience the story with, the developers explain.
"We wanted to basically allow players to replay through the game," says Alan Wake 2 co-director Kyle Rowley.
New playable character Saga Anderson investigates the woods in pursuit of a lead and encounters an axe-wielding foe in the darkness.
In addition to new locations, several locations from the original game will also be recreated, including Cauldron Lake.
FBI profiler Saga Anderson is new to the Bright Falls area, and finds herself pulled into a mysterious string of murders.
On June 8th, creative director Sam Lake joins Geoff Keighley live on stage to showcase the upcoming survival horror title.
"We did say in 2021 that we're gonna push the graphics hard on this one. I think we'll have the best-looking game in 2023," said Thomas Puha.
Remedy says not releasing a physical version will allow the game to be released at a price of $60 on consoles and $50 on PC.
The titular novelist will be joined by FBI agent Saga Anderson, who arrives in Bright Falls to investigate a string of ritualistic murders.
In addition to the two expansions, called called Night Springs and The Lake House, the survival horror title will also see free post-launch updates.
Remedy Entertainment's survival horror sequel looks impressive in its debut gameplay trailer. An October launch has been confirmed.
Alan Wake voice actor Matthew Porretta says Remedy Entertainment's highly anticipated survival horror sequel is set to launch this October.
"Alan Wake 2 is on its way to becoming a great game and has everyone excited at Remedy," the developer says about its survival horror title.
According to XboxEra's Nick Baker, the survival horror title is "pretty far along," which is in line with Remedy stating it would launch in 2023.
The studio behind Max Payne, Alan Wake, Control, and more has updated its logo for the first time in over 20 years.
Alan Wake 2 is reportedly hitting later this year and here are 14 things we don’t want Remedy to implement in it.
Remedy Entertainment reiterates that its long-awaited survival horror sequel is making good progress behind the scenes and will launch this year.
Starting with Alan Wake 2 in 2023, Remedy Entertainment plans to release a new game ever year, on top of "additional free and paid content."
Remedy says the game, which is due out sometime this year, will soon be content-complete, following which the developer will shift focus to polishing the experience.
However, those familiar with the Remedy Connected Universe will find plenty of "connections, pieces of lore, and familiar characters".
"Gameplay, narrative, atmosphere, music – it’s all singing from the same hymn sheet," says game director Kyle Rowley.
"I feel like I never left Alan Wake behind. There was always the full intention to return to him," says creative director Sam Lake.
Remedy CEO Tero Virtala says, "There is still a lot of work to be done, but the game is coming together on all fronts."
Writer and creative director Sam Lake shares a brief update on the writing process of Remedy Entertainment's upcoming survival horror sequel.
No royalty revenue earned from Alan Wake Remastered in Q1 2022 due to Epic Games having yet to "recoup its development and marketing expenses."
Additionally, Remedy has also released some new concept art for Alan Wake 2 which showcases the stunning art direction for this sequel.
Ilkka Villi and Matthew Porretta, who provided the appearance and voice for Alan Wake respectively in the first game, will be returning for the sequel.
Remedy Entertainment will stick with its in-house engine for the upcoming survival horror game, and is promising big things where the visuals are concerned.
Remedy Entertainment's long-awaited sequel will be its first survival horror title. More details are slated to come in Summer 2022.

Epic Games reportedly offered the best publishing deal for the sequel.
The agreement entails full development funding, 50/50 revenue split, and more.
