There is new information about Alan Wake 2! Alan Wake’s story continues in the long-awaited sequel to the thirteen-year-old game. While we still don’t have a real release date, the news that the game is now playable from start to finish gives hope for an early release. Remedy Entertainment, who recently enjoyed success with Control, intend to release Alan Wake 2 later this year.
Alan Wake 2 almost done
The team behind Alan Wake 2 announced in their latest investor report that Alan Wake 2 is “in full production” and “playable from start to finish.” Although it had to be admitted that things haven’t been going too well financially lately, the sequel to Alan Wake should fix it. “The expanded scope and budget associated with the development of Alan Wake 2 should ensure better results this year.”
CEO Tero Virtala had the following to say about the development of Alan Wake 2 and the remaster that was released in 2021: “We will continue to polish the gaming experience. Alan Wake is a unique brand that holds a high value for the company today. Alan Wake Remastered has not yet generated any profits. However, we expect sales to increase as the release of Alan Wake 2 is imminent and fans and new players alike will want to experience the original story on new generation consoles”.
Also new information about Control 2
In November last year, Remedy also announced Control 2. For this they are working together with 505 Games and are probably already in an early concept phase. There would already be “detailed concepts for the game vision and all creative areas, including gameplay and narrative”.
However, both Alan Wake 2 and Control 2 do not yet have a release date. For Alan Wake 2 there is at least the announcement that the game should be released this year. So we can assume that Remedy will take a little more time with Control 2. After all, they are even working behind the scenes on their own series adaptation of Alan Wake, which is in production at broadcaster AMC (The Walking Dead). So fans will get enough in-universe content for years to come.
