Remedy Entertainment has revealed a ton of new details for its highly anticipated title, Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake 2 will be a psychological, survival horror game, as the developers wanted to make this game as “brutal and horrifying” as possible. However, the game will not always be dark and gloomy, but will also feature “daytime scenes, quirky characters, plenty of humor and a deep mystery to explore.”
For the first time in the Alan Wake franchise, there will be two different protagonists with two very different worlds to explore. The game will obviously feature the Remedy hero, Alan Wake, but also a new character, FBI agent Saga Anderson, who is described as a “profiler with a reputation for solving impossible cases with uncanny leaps of logic.” Both characters will feature a unique but parallel story that can be played in any order.

Moreover, the developers say that anyone can join in on Alan Wake 2, even if they haven’t played the prequel. Alan Wake 2 will feature a “deep, layered story with surprises buried inside it, waiting to be discovered,” with hand-crafted locations including the Bright Falls, Cauldron Lake, and the Dark Place. Remedy promises that more will be revealed in the “coming weeks.”
Alan Wake 2 will be available digitally for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 17, 2023.
