Alan Wake 2 Devs Just Delayed The Game

If you’re looking forward to Alan Wake 2, it might be bitter news to hear that the game was just pushed back. This is a game we’ve been waiting on for years, so a small delay might not be too much of a big deal. However, the delay wasn’t done to ensure that the developers had enough time to get the game ready for its release. Instead, this delay was to ensure that players have enough time to enjoy some of the big releases that are coming out into the marketplace. 

The developers at Remedy Entertainment took to the official Alan Wake Twitter account to alert followers that the game was being pushed back from its initially intended launch date of October 17, 2023. Instead, the game is now slated to release into the marketplace on October 27, 2023. As noted in the tweet that went out, Alan Wake 2 is set to release on that day to ensure players have more time to enjoy their favorite games. October is quite a packed month for video games as well, so it might help secure more sales if there’s a bit of a gap between some releases.
