It’s been more than a decade since Alan Wake first captured gamers’ attention, and now it’s finally official: the game is getting a sequel. At The Game Awards, we got a first first minute-long look to set up Alan Wake 2, which Remedy Entertainment says will arrive sometime in 2023. Yep, it’s going to be a long wait, but at least we know for sure it’s coming. Remedy says that the game will be released for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and the PS5.
This announcement comes a couple months after Alan Wake was remastered and released across multiple platforms, and that game contained the tease found in the original game that claimed “Alan Wake’s journey through the night will continue.” Some speculated that it would be removed from the remaster, but it was in kept intact. Turns out, the line is correct — it just took a long time to come true.
As for what we’ll get from Alan Wake 2, the trailer doesn’t give us a whole lot of detail. It’s more of a vibe-setting video, and it does a great job at setting up some seriously creepy vibes. While there’s not much more to learn about the game right now, you can plan the remastered original on the Xbox One, Series X/S, PS4 or PS5 now. Remedy also says that it’ll have more details about the game to share in the summer of 2022.
