Alan Wake 2 Release Date, Trailers, And Everything We Know So Far
It's not a lake; it's an ocean. Those infamous words became the undying promise of Remedy's Alan Wake 2, a sequel more than a decade in the making, off and on. The cult classic thriller is finally getting its follow-up after years of starting and stopping, all while Remedy continues to grow its profile as a leading story-driven studio. With Alan Wake 2 slated for launch in 2023, here's everything we've seen and everything we know so far.
It's official,Alan Wake II will release on October 17, just in time for the Halloween season. Remedy's new game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Epic Games Store. As part of Remedy'slatest earnings briefing in March, the company said that «the game will soon have all content in place, and it is playable from start to finish.»
A game that has been on the wishlist of fans for years, creative director Sam Lake recently told us that “there was never a time when I felt that it would not happen. It just hadn't happened yet."
Since the December 2021 reveal, Remedy hasn't released much footage of the game. The December 2021 trailer, which uses Alan's real-life physical actor, Ilkka Villi, along with his voice actor, Matthew Poretta, provides a haunting setup for a sequel that seems intent to lean further into survival-horror, and the more recentPlayStation Showcase trailer shows off the second playable character, FBI agent Saga Anderson.
