Alan Wake 2: What’s The Update So Far?
During the event, Lake confidently says everything is going really well and a great deal of the game is playable. So, with that, we can be sure that Remedy is working on the game with full force. In addition to all this information, they shared concept art for the game as well.
Alan Wake 2 was first revealed at The Game Awards in 2021 with an amazing teaser trailer. It was announced that the game would be moving towards a survival horror theme as opposed to an action-adventure one like its predecessor. The game will be powered by Remedy’s own Northlight Engine as well.
The first game and its expansions received critical acclaim from fans and critics. A remastered version was also released in 2021. Alan Wake appeared in another Remedy game, Control, and its DLC titled ‘AWE’. Alan Wake and Control are both parts of the same “Remedy connected universe,” according to Remedy. They also said that the next game following Control will be part of this universe. That might be Alan Wake 2 but we’ll have to wait a bit for any news.
With no update coming soon, we have no choice but to wait for any proper glimpse at Alan Wake 2. What do you think of this news? Share your thoughts in the comments section below!
