After 12 Years, Remedy Finally Unveils Alan Wake 2 Sequel
-
After a 12-year wait, Remedy Entertainment finally releases Alan Wake 2, a sequel to its 2010 cult classic. Creative director Sam Lake calls it his most "personal" and "ambitious" project.
-
Originally planned as an Xbox 360 launch title in 2010, the sequel was repeatedly turned down by publishers until Epic Games agreed to release it.
-
Alan Wake 2 leans more into survival horror gameplay like Resident Evil 4. It has a new playable character, FBI agent Saga Anderson, investigating Alan's disappearance.
-
The game has live-action story sequences and dual narratives told through Alan and Saga's perspectives. Saga has a virtual crime board players directly interact with.
-
Remedy hopes the sequel's unique traits like storytelling and world-building will make it stand out among big 2023 releases like Spider-Man 2.
