Alan Wake 2 delayed, but only by 10 days

thesixthaxis.com:

Alan Wake 2 has been delayed, but thankfully only by ten days. This means that instead of 17th October, the Alan Wake 2 release date is now 27th October.

In the announcement tweet, the Alan Wake 2 team at Remedy said, “October is an amazing month for game launches and we hope this date shift gives more space for everyone to enjoy their favorite games,” before teasing some new trailer or news that is due during Gamescom 2023 next week.

As always, October and November are absolutely packed with releases, and developers and publishers are always keen to try and carve out their own little space within that. Assassin’s Creed Mirage has come forward by a week, in a recent shift to earlier in the month, but Alan Wake 2’s slight delay makes a bit of sense as it brings the game closer to Halloween, but also gets a smidgeon of separation from other major game releases.

Here’s the lay of the release schedule land:

A long-awaited and much requested sequel, Alan Wake 2 will be a full survival horror game, shifting the game’s story, atmosphere, pacing and gameplay to match. There will be daytime scenes still, where you’ll meet quirky characters and have moments of lightness, but when things get dark and scary, brace yourself for getting spooked. Importantly, they note that it should still be enjoyable for those that want more of the story.

Alan will not be the only playable character in the game. Joining him is FBI Agent Saga Anderson, a profiler who has a knack for solving the impossible cases. This is her first step into the supernatural, but Alan is an old hand at it by this point with a harrowing past. You will be free to switch between the characters when you like, so you could play all the way through as Saga and not play as Alan as
