Alan Wake 2 Gets New Recap Trailer Showcasing Alan Wake’s Story

Alan Wake 2 is a mindf***. 

is getting a New Game Plus feature called Final Draft, but what exactly that all means isn't yet clear. At present, has no NG+. Players can run through it, beat the final boss of , watch the credits roll, and start a new game, but nothing will change the second time around. Enemies will be in the same places with the same stats, and Alan and Saga will have their base game abilities. They won't carry over anything from the first playthrough.

Remedy Entertainment has rolled out a major new Alan Wake 2 update across all platforms, including over 200 improvements and fixes.

The Manuscript Pages in Alan Wake 2 allow you to look deeper into the larger story happening in the game. These pages are scattered throughout the narrative, but some are well-hidden and hard to find in Watery.

Alan Wake 2 is a tale about the outrageous horror story Alan is writing, and much of it comes to life in Bright Falls because of the Dark Place. There are Manuscript Pages that you can find that detail significant parts of the story, and several appear in Bright Falls.

The Cult Stashes you find in Alan Wake 2 can be extremely helpful in keeping your supplies high throughout the course of your playthrough. There are several you can find while exploring Bright Falls.

Instead of finding Manuscript Fragments for upgrades, the eponymous character will need to find Words of Power in Alan Wake 2. These Words of Power locations allow Alan to upgrade himself in multiple different special character trees. Each upgrade increases his strength in a different way — you can deal more damage, enhance your health, or make your weapons more powerful. It all depends on those Words of Power.

A good game over screen doesn’t just serve as a notice that you need to start over. In the survival horror genre, a well-crafted, properly terrifying game over screen should serve as a deterrent, ensuring you stay alive the next time to avoid seeing the bloody words ‘Game Over’ appear on your screen. And sometimes, like in Alan Wake 2, they could be so terrifying you never want to die again.

It’s no secret that sometimes it takes a LONG time for a video game to get the sequel it deserves. The irony is that sometimes these sequels come from genre-defining titles and ones that sold many millions of copies upon their release. An excellent example is with a certain horror franchise that Remedy Entertainment made a long time ago. Despite the unique setting, story, protagonist, and horror elements, there was no sequel to the game…until now, that is. After a long period of teases, rumors, and waiting, Alan Wake 2 is now available for purchase, and the teams behind the game are excited to talk about it.

Arizona Sunshine 2, the sequel to developer Vertigo Games' well-received 2016 VR zombie shooter, is coming to PlayStation VR 2, Meta Quest, and Steam VR on 7th December — and there's a new gameplay trailer to accompany the news.

Horror drowns in symmetry: evil twins, two souls occupying one body, light and dark creating shadow, the Other Side, the Dark Place, the Upside Down. It is part of the cascading telemetry of fear utilized by our best horror artists, weaving nightmares out of pleasant dreams, whittling hell from the bones of our heavens.
