With Alan Wake 2 now mere days away from launch, Remedy Entertainment is beginning to gear up for its arrival by sharing new details on its release. Having recently revealed its exact global release timings, the developer has now also shared the survival horror sequel’s full PC requirements.

Tencent has significantly increased its shareholding in Remedy Entertainment.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has won the award for best game at the 2024 BAFTA Awards.

Remedy Entertainment has said players should expect a “more regular cadence of sequels” for Alan Wake and Control.

Alan Wake 2 has sold 1.3 million copies to date, Remedy Entertainment has confirmed.

Remedy has confirmed plans to grow and expand the Alan Wake franchise following a successful launch for the second mainline entry in the series.

Alan Wake is coming to Dead by Daylight at the end of this month, the tortured writer set to be the latest survivor in the long-running multiplayer horror game, but how did this come to be and what will Alan play like?

Earlier this month, Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive made the exciting announcement that Alan Wake is being added to the game as a playable Survivor on January 30. His addition immediately has us all asking if any playable Killers from the Alan Wake series could be added in the future too, but Scratch has been taken off the table as he's "too close" to The Entity.

From Resident Evil’s Albert Wesker and Child’s Play’s Chucky to Alien’s Xenomorph and Nicholas Cage (just… Nicholas Cage), Dead by Daylight has become the go-to hub for horror icons, with developer Behaviour Interactive maintaining an impressive cadence of updates and additions for the multiplayer horror title. Interestingly enough, the next character that the game will add is also seemingly being teased.

In between handing out awards to some of this year's biggest titles such as Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2, The Game Awards 2023 featured a variety of game announcements and world premieres.

After winning best game direction for Alan Wake 2 at The Game Awards, developer Remedy announces New Game Plus for as soon as next week.

Baldur's Gate III took home the top honour at The Game Awards 2023, held early Friday in Los Angeles, besting its lead competitor Alan Wake II. The Dungeons & Dragons-based sprawling RPG, which was strongly revered by both fans and critics alike, bagged six trophies, including Best Community Support and Best Performance. The latter was collected by Neil Newbon, who played Astarion, the silver-haired vampire spawn, holding our attention with his melodramatic persona and the occasional high-pitched screeches. Meanwhile, Remedy's Alan Wake 2 won four awards across some of the most important categories, with co-directors Sam Lake and Kyle Rowley emerging as the best game directors of the year, alongside a writing/ narrative nod.

Remedy Entertainment confirmed prior to Alan Wake 2’s launch that the survival horror title would be getting a New Game Plus mode following release, while the developer teased earlier this month that the mode could arrive this month. At The Game Awards, a specific release date for New Game Plus was announced.

In an interview with Game Developer, Remedy’s Sam Lake and Kyle Rowley spoke at length about Saga Anderson, her importance in the story, and how the team went about creating this intriguing character.

Remedy Entertainment's revival of Alan Wake sees the developer bring back its winding, complex game about horror storytelling in a bold new way. Along with the return of the troubled, reality-bending writer, a new protagonist named Saga Anderson enters the horrifying and supernatural fray. But Saga's unique place in the main story pushed the developers to come up with a compelling way to structure the game's parallel stories and how best to portray the newest character.

One of Alan Wake 2's standout moments sounds like it had some trouble getting off the ground. At least according to the game's director, Sam Lake.

Alan Wake 2's most memorable – and surprising – chapter was almost cut.

Alan Wake 2‘s most talked about scene was almost cut from the game, the game’s creative director has revealed.

If you've played the game, you know the one.

From Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to Forza Motorsport and many others, October has been packed full of major new releases- and there’s still more to look forward to, especially in the shape of Alan Wake 2, one of the most highly anticipated upcoming games, which is out in a week’s time.

Remedy Entertainment has never been a studio that likes to sit still with its creative works, and true to form, Alan Wake 2 looks set to be delivering yet another game by the developer that’s quite unique from most of its previous offerings. A lot of that will be down to it being Remedy’s first ever survival horror game, and in a new behind-the-scenes video, the developer has offered more insight into how it crafted the sequel’s gameplay experience to fit its new genre.

The survival horror genre has enjoyed a massive resurgence in recent years, and though it’s seen a few notable successes in recent years, one in particular that tends to stand out is 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake. Widely regarded as being key to the genre’s recent revival, the RE2 remake has inspired a number of survival horror titles of late, including Remedy Entertainment’s upcoming Alan Wake 2.

Remedy Entertainment is set to deliver its first full-fledged survival horror title when Alan Wake 2 launches later this month, and there’s no shortage of excitement around the brand of horror that the acclaimed studio will deliver. Remedy has previously said that its primary focus has been on building atmosphere and slow-paced dread rather than peppering the experience with jump scares, and in a recent interview with GamingBolt, game director Kyle Rowley touched on that once more.

Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 is out next week, but it’s been in the works for several years, never mind the time it took for the developer to get the idea green-lit. Compared to its predecessor, this is a survival horror title with more methodical pacing. Remedy is known for its high-octane combat from Max Payne to the more recent Control.

Leading up to the October 27 release date for Alan Wake 2, developer Remedy has worked with Epic Games to create a playable recap for the original Alan Wake. The 20-minute recap can be played through Fortnite, and serves as a refresher for the events of the original game.

Alan Wake 2 is out later this month, with Remedy Entertainment calling it their biggest project yet. Aside from more open areas and a playtime exceeding 20 hours, it also features two protagonists – troubled author Alan Wake and newcomer Saga Anderson, an FBI profiler who arrives in Bright Falls to investigate a series of murders.

We’re midway through October, with the heaviest hitters set to launch in the coming weeks. That includes Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2, which launches on October 27th (after a delay to avoid competing with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2). It promises over 20 hours of gameplay, but there are also two expansions coming post-launch.

Alan Wake 2 is looking like it’s going to be a significant departure from its predecessor in many ways, and one in particular that has stood out so far is the fact that it’s going to have two protagonists sharing the spotlight, with the titular hero Alan Wake being joined by newcomer Saga Anderson, an FBI profiler who comes to Bright Falls to investigate a string of ritual murders.

Remedy Entertainment has an excellent track record with music and audio design in its releases, so expectations from Alan Wake 2 are naturally high on that front. And according to the developer, the survival horror sequel isn’t going to disappoint.

Seeing Remedy Entertainment's cult favorite horror game Alan Wake make a comeback is a strange feeling. Arriving 13 years after the original, Alan Wake 2 sees the return of the titular protagonist who can rewrite reality, all while evading the creeping dark forces that's always one step behind him.

His name may quite literally be the title of the game, but Alan Wake is not the only main character in Remedy Entertainment’s upcoming survival horror. The ‘2’ in Alan Wake 2 doesn’t just point to its sequel nature, but also to the duality that runs through the entire game. Two protagonists. Two perspectives. Two worlds. And two approaches to gameplay.

Remedy has long been a studio that wears its influences on its sleeve. From the hard-boiled police files of Max Payne to the New Weird foundations of Control, movies, TV shows, and books have long served as inspiration. This is no different in Alan Wake 2, which blends horror and detective fiction in creatively unsettling ways. We talked to Remedy to find out why these genres work so well together, discuss some of the game’s cultural touchstones, and how they bleed their way into the survival horror story, characters, and gameplay.

October is set to be a month stuffed with noteworthy releases, with Alan Wake 2 being one of them. The highly anticipated title will continue the story of Alan Wake the thriller novelist, and it will further expand the ever-growing Remedy Connected Universe.

Remedy Entertainment recently announced that it had pushed back Alan Wake 2’s launch by 10 days to later in October, stating that it was moving to a later window due to the crowded release schedule for mid-October this year.

Ever since we learned Alan Wake 2 would be a full-fledged survival horror game, we've expected some fairly significant tweaks to its design compared to the first game. Now, we're learning exactly what one of those changes is.

In Alan Wake 2, the world is conspiring to topple the ailing writer. At Gamescom 2023, Remedy Entertainment showed GamesRadar+ an exclusive gameplay demo that descended into the Dark Place, the prison that has held Wake for 13 years. It's here where the shift towards survival horror is most stark – a twisted New York City, suffocating beneath a sheet of rain, where twisting figures stand in every shadow.

Alan Wake 2 promises to be a fairly different game from its predecessor, and that’s a good thing. While the atmosphere and setting of the original Alan Wake in 2010 was certainly ominous and surreal, it’s held back by a rather clunky combat system. Fortunately, the move to a more pure survival horror game with Alan Wake 2 ensures that this won’t be the case again, something developer Remedy confirms with PCGamesN at Gamescom 2023.

Alan Wake fans have been waiting for what felt like an eternity to see a proper sequel to the beloved franchise. We know that over the years since Alan Wake was released, Remedy Entertainment was also keen on getting back to the franchise. However, things didn’t quite work out the way that they wanted. According to Sam Lake, the creative director for the studio, he’s quite happy those pitches and concepts for Alan Wake 2 in the past failed to make the game come to fruition. Instead, fans can get the best experience that Remedy Entertainment could provide, a game that was not possible to make in the past. 

As we get our latest look at Alan Wake 2 during Gamescom 2023, Remedy creative director Sam Lake says the team “could not have made this game earlier.” In an interview attended by PCGamesN at the event, Lake and Alan Wake 2 director Kyle Rowley tell us how the survival horror game plays on the history of Remedy itself.

Remedy Entertainment has announced that Alan Wake 2 has been delayed by 10 days and will now launch on October 27 instead of October 17. 

Alan Wake 2 will introduce a new protagonist so newcomers can still follow the game's plot even if they've "not played a single Remedy game."

Alan Wake 2

With Alan Wake 2, Remedy Entertainment is developing its first ever full-fledged survival horror game, and in an era where the genre and the studio both are flourishing perhaps more than they ever had, that’s an exciting prospect. Of course, given the massive critical and commercial success that the Resident Evil series has enjoyed, and how much Capcom’s franchise has been responsible for the genre’s revival, comparisons are inevitable for any new survival horror title- and that stands true for Alan Wake 2 as well.

Gamescom will be kicking off under two weeks from now with Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 22, and we’re beginning to learn more about what we can expect from that opening showcase- starting with one of 2023’s most highly anticipated titles.

If you were eager to try out Alan Wake 2, then you might already have a new heads-up of where the developers took inspiration from. The fanbase has incredibly anticipated this upcoming installment of the Alan Wake franchise. It took several years to get a full-fledged sequel out into the marketplace. This October, we’ll finally get to dive back into this twisted world and see where Alan has been and what he’s up to after all these years. But while we still have a little bit of a wait on our hands before we can get into the game, a new interview from the game director, Kyle Rowley, might help offer some insight into what players can expect.

Alan Wake 2's developers took inspiration from Capcom's Resident Evil series as it wanted players to feel "more vulnerable" while playing the sequel.
