Remedy has revealed that highly anticipated sequel Alan Wake 2 is now playable from start to finish, which hopefully means development is progressing smoothly enough that there won’t be any delays.
Speaking during the studio’s latest financial results, Tero Virtala, CEO of Remedy, also admitted that Alan Wake Remastered, which was released for last and current-generation consoles in Fall 2021, has yet to generate any royalties for the developer.
Alan Wake 2 is in full production. The game will soon have all content in place, and it is playable from start to finish. We will then move onto polishing the experience. Alan Wake is a unique brand that holds high value for the company today.
Alan Wake Remastered has not yet generated royalties. However, we expect the sales to increase as the release of Alan Wake 2 becomes imminent and fans and new players want to experience the original story on new generation consoles.
Sam Lake recently said in an interview earlier this month that Alan Wake 2 is by far Remedy’s ‘biggest project yet,’ and that the studio is aiming to make it a full fledged survival horror experience.
Alan Wake 2 was announced during The Game Awards 2021 and is currently pencilled in for release on PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S in 2023.
