Alan Wake 2 is the exciting comeback of the writer-turned-creator, Alan Wake. Remedy Entertainment(developer), is putting a lot of effort into making this sequel great. In this game, you can play as two different heroes, explore two different worlds, and solve two different mysteries. It’s a big and exciting sequel!
Alan Wake 2 is a super scary game coming out soon, and it’s a big deal. Remedy, the company making the game, says it will be one of the most important new games in 2023. It’s been more than ten years since we played the first game on Xbox 360, so let’s see what we know about Alan Wake 2.
Alan Wake 2 Release Date
Alan Wake 2 will come out on October 27, 2023. Remedy told us about it during the PlayStation Showcase. They also showed us the first gameplay trailer. At first, the game was supposed to come out on October 17, but Remedy changed their mind and made it ten days later so it doesn’t have to compete with too many other games at the same time.
Alan Wake 2 Platforms
Alan Wake 2 is coming out on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC (you can get it on the Epic Games Store). Remedy says they aren’t making it for PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch. Also, you can only buy it online, which should make it less expensive.
Alan Wake 2 Gameplay
In the new Alan Wake 2 game, things are very different compared to the first game. Alan, the main character, has been stuck in a scary place for 13 years. This time, the game is going to be scary, like a psychological horror movie.
The big change in the game is that you get to play a new character named Saga Anderson. She’s an FBI agent, and she comes to Bright Falls with her partner Alex Casey (played by Sam Lake) to figure out some mysterious murders.
These murders are done weirdly, like rituals, and they even killed one of the FBI’s people. So, the game is all about solving this creepy mystery.
In Alan Wake 2, there are two main parts to the story.
- First, you’ll spend half of the game following Saga and her investigation into a strange cult in places like Bright Falls, Cauldron Lake, and Watery.
- The other half of the game is about Alan, the famous writer, who finds himself in a scary dream that looks like New York City. You can play as both Saga and Alan and switch between their stories whenever you like.
In the exciting new story of the game, they’ve made some big changes to how you fight. The camera is closer to your character’s shoulder now, and the fighting looks like the Resident Evil remakes.
You still have to use light to fight scary supernatural enemies, but you won’t have as many supplies as before because the game is more like survival horror.
Alan Wake 2 Trailer
In the trailer, we see Saga Anderson, who you can play in addition to Alan. In the Alan Wake 2 game, you can play as both Saga and Alan equally. You can switch between them during the story to find out more about both of them.
Alan Wake 2 is a follow-up to the first game, you don’t need to have played the first one to understand it. During the Summer Game Fest in 2023, Remedy said that the game can be enjoyed on its own, and they’ve added a new character named Saga Anderson for players to meet.
Alan Wake 2 Story
Alan Wake 2 is a game with a story about two different places, two people, and two big mysteries. The part of the story they’re telling us about now is about some strange murders happening in a town called Bright Falls, near a place called Cauldron Lake. There’s also a new place called Watery to explore in the game.
In the game, a smart FBI detective named Saga Anderson comes to Bright Falls to investigate these murders. She’s working with her partner, Alex Casey, who is voiced by James McCaffrey and looks a bit like the guy who made Max Payne, another popular game.
While all of this is happening, there’s a story about a guy named Alan Wake. He’s been stuck in a spooky place called the Dark Place under Cauldron Lake for 13 years, and it looks like a scary version of New York City.
In the game, you’ll also get to be Alan Wake, and his goal is to write a creepy story that can change the world around him so he can finally escape from that spooky place, even if it has some bad consequences.
In Alan Wake 2, the story will follow both Alan’s adventure and another character’s journey. The cool thing is, that you can switch between playing these two characters whenever you want.
So, if you want to explore Saga’s investigation in Bright Falls first and then switch to Alan in the Dark Place later, you can do that. It’s up to you!
