Alan Wake 2 has a release date

Yesterday's PlayStation Showcase left us with many surprises that we didn't expect at all. Alan Wake 2 is an adventure that the fans have been eagerly awaiting for so long that it feels almost unreal to see that it will be released anytime soon. That's why the announcement of a release date has been received with joy by so many players. 

Developer Remedy has also revealed plenty of details about the sequel to the cult game from 2010 in a publication in the PlayStation blog.

"A string of ritualistic murders threatens Bright Falls, a small-town community surrounded by the Pacific Northwest wilderness. Anderson, an accomplished FBI agent with a reputation for solving impossible cases, arrives to investigate the murders. Soon the events spiral into a nightmare when she discovers pages of a horror story that start to come true around her. Somehow the events seem to lead to Alan Wake, the horror writer who went missing 13 years ago."

Two unique stories

In Alan Wake 2 players will be able to choose between Saga Anderson and her fellow agent Alex Casey to experience their independent stories as two sides of a dark and twisted reality. They embark on a journey that will take them beyond the limits of their own sanity as they explore several locations, starting in a place that is well-known to the fans of the series: the small town of Bright Falls.

"Anderson’s story takes place in the Pacific Northwest, consisting of three hubs: the small town of Bright Falls, the stunning primordial forest surrounding the mysterious Cauldron Lake, and the run-down town of Watery. And finally, the Dark Place is a shifting, looping reality where Wake’s story takes place."

The release of Alan Wake 2 is scheduled for October 17, 2023, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. You can find the best prices to buy your Alan Wake 2 PC key with our comparator already.
