Remedy's Alan Wake 2 was a resounding critical success when it launched last year. It matched the studio's historic highest Metacritic score (Max Payne's 89).
Here on Wccftech, the game earned a 9/10 score from Francesco De Meo: Despite not aiming to revolutionize the survival horror genre, Alan Wake II is an amazing game that no one who enjoys a good trippy horror story should pass on.
Remedy Entertainment really outdid themselves, releasing their best game to date and one of the most immersive gaming experiences of the past few years. Related Story Alan Wake 2: The Lake House Review – Who’s The Real Monster?Unfortunately, it didn't quite sell Gangbusters.
Back in March, Remedy CEO Tero Virtala said Alan Wake 2 had recouped 'most' of its investment. The latest report that the Finnish company published today makes it sound like Alan Wake 2 barely went forward—the game still hasn't recouped all the costs.
At the end of the quarter, Alan Wake 2 had recouped most of its development and marketing expenses. After the end of the quarter, the second expansion of Alan Wake 2, The Lake House, was released on October 22 alongside the Physical Deluxe Edition of the game.
