The wait won't be much longer to play Alan Wake 2 or even read reviews about the sequel. Developer Remedy has revealed that the review embargo for the survival-horror game lifts at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET on Thursday, October 26.
Thomas Puha, who serves as communications director at Remedy, posted on Twitter/X about when critiques would go live on Alan Wake 2. Puha also responded to someone who claimed the review embargo raises «a red flag» since it's so close to the sequel's October 27 launch date. «Eh… we have shown so much of this game. Press played [three] hours back in September. It's all good,» he replied.

It took years after the release of Alan Wake before Remedy Entertainment could return and bring out a proper sequel. The game development team had previously tried to deliver a game installment to keep the narrative going for Alan Wake; however, nothing quite lined up in their favor. Instead, they went on to create games like Quantum Break and Control. However, since the release of Control, the developers were finally able to pick Alan Wake back up and deliver a new game for fans. Now that this Alan Wake 2 game is finally available, the development studio is crediting the folks over at Epic Games for giving them the creative freedom required to deliver such an acclaimed hit.
Alan Wake 2 has joined the shockingly long list of incredible games that have released in 2023, with Remedy Entertainment’s long-awaited survival horror sequel having launched to widespread praise from critics and audiences alike, and the developer has shared praise for its publishing partner, Epic Games, and the role it played in the game’s development.
