Alan Wake 2 Was Delayed on PS5 to Avoid Going Neck to Neck with Spider-Man 2 | Push Square

Alan Wake 2 director Sam Lake has revealed that the upcoming survival horror game will be longer than the studio’s previous release, Control. Speaking with Kinda Funny Games, Lake stated that Alan Wake 2 would be twice as long as Remedy’s other titles.

Alan Wake has been trapped in the Dark Place for 13 years. He’s ditched his slouchy hoodie for a button-down, but kept the funny jacket with the old-fashioned elbow patches. Inky hair frames his face as he wanders through a hostile dream world, clutching a puzzle-solving lamp and a revolver. This is the other side of Alan Wake 2’s story, running parallel to FBI agent Saga Anderson’s Pacific Northwest trek to investigate a series of ritualistic murders.

Alan Wake 2 finally arrives next month, and this time around, the tortured author won’t be alone. Alan Wake 2 actually features two playable characters – Alan himself and FBI agent Saga Anderson. This has led to some concern that Alan was perhaps being edged out of his own game, but it seems those fears are largely unfounded.

Fans of the franchise have highly anticipated Alan Wake 2. It’s a game that’s been in the works for Remedy Entertainment for quite a few years, too. However, the video game has finally been approved, and the developers are now finally getting ready to reach the finish line. With that said, we know the game will be arriving next month, and while we wait for the game to reach the marketplace, there is a new video drop from IGN highlighting an early mission for Alan Wake 2.

Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 has received extensive new gameplay, focusing on new protagonist Saga Anderson. The early mission sees the FBI agent venturing through Watery, gathering information and clues before going to a theme park called Coffee World. Check it out below, courtesy of IGN.

First confirmed during this year's PlayStation Showcase, developer Hadoque has shared a fresh look at the psychedelic PS5, PS4 indie game Ultros. Slated to release in 2024, you can catch a glimpse of the 2D title's first few minutes, where it introduces the colourful world protagonist Ouji is set to explore. Take a look above.

With August out of the way, we find ourselves nearing the business end of the year when it comes to game releases. Thankfully, for PlayStation 5 and PS4 owners, there's plenty to be excited about over the next couple of months.

The scariest thing to video game developers isn’t ghosts or monsters, as the new Alone in the Dark game has been pushed to 2024, partly to avoid an incredibly busy October gaming season, where it would have competed with Alan Wake 2 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. This is a wise decision, considering how packed 2023 has been as a whole, especially as Alone in the Dark also needs extra polish time.

While September is packed with big games, October looks no less epic, especially with titles like Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 on the horizon. The developer recently showcased Wake in The Dark Place, a nightmare reality based on a person’s subconscious. In his case, it’s a replica of New York City.

Delta Force is a series of military FPS shooters which began all the way back in 1998 and came to PlayStation with PS1's Urban Warfare (the fifth game in the franchise). Creator NovaLogic shuttered back in 2016, and its assets were acquired by THQ Nordic, which in turn, was swallowed by a bigger fish, the Embracer Group. Now, a pre-Gamescom teaser has revealed the series will live again and is set to be fully revealed at Gamescom's Opening Night Live.

Hello Games’ unprecedented ongoing commitment to No Man’s Sky has continued this week with its enormous Echoes update, adding an entirely new alien race and massively expanded space-based combat. But one other feature buried in the patch notes is the inclusion of foveated rendering for PSVR2, which has had a colossal impact on the intergalactic outing’s visuals.

Sony's recently revealed remote play handheld now has an official name and a price tag. It's called PlayStation Portal, and for $199.99 / £199.99 / €219.99, it'll let you stream your PS5 straight to the palm of your hands via WiFi.
