Developer Remedy Entertainment has released a new video on the way to Alan Wake 2‘s release later this month. The video offers up a recap of the events of the original Alan Wake to help players that may not have played the predecessor to the upcoming horror title. Check it out below.
The video offers up a cinematic look back at the events of the first Alan Wake. For context, the story in Alan Wake 2 will pick up around 13 years after the events of the original game.
