The official Alan Wake 2 soundtrack, composed by Petri Alanko, will be made available across a variety of platforms for streaming and purchase from tomorrow. 35 music tracks designed to capture «the emotion, tension, and mystery of the game’s story» will be streamable on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more while it can be purchased on iTunes and Amazon.
The musical release also coincides with the 14th anniversary of the first game, which was made playable on PS5, PS4 via Alan Wake Remastered in 2021. «From the haunting melodies that underscore the game’s more introspective moments to the scarier, more intense sections, composer and musician Petri Alanko has created a musical masterpiece as memorable as the game itself,» a press release teases.
Alanko himself said: «From a composer's point of view, the soundtrack has no filler, with each musical cue emphasizing a certain sequence of events that fans have experienced on screen. I hope the result is as pleasing to you as it is to myself, and trust me, I carefully thought about the soundtrack. To me, be it a movie soundtrack or a video game soundtrack, it should work as an entity in and of itself.»
