About the game Alan Wake 2
After a presentation at the PlayStation Showcase on May 24, Remedy Entertainment presented the first gameplay trailer for Alan Wake 2, and also announced the game's release date - October 17, 2023. In this article we will look at what is known about the genre, main characters, plot, edition versions and much more.
Genre Alan Wake 2
The sequel to Alan Wake was announced in December 2021 and attracted interest from fans as it promised to be Remedy Entertainment's first survival horror game. Unlike the first part, which contained horror elements, Alan Wake 2 will be a full-fledged representative of survival horror. This genre is characterized by an atmosphere of tension and a lack of resources for survival, which forces players to avoid combat and resort to stealth.
Main Characters of Alan Wake 2
Alan Wake 2 will feature two key characters - Alan Wake and FBI agent Saga Anderson. Each of them has their own storyline, and their stories will intersect at some points in the game. Saga Anderson is an experienced and dedicated investigator who specializes in solving complex crimes.
There are also fan theories about Control's main character, Jessie Faden, appearing in the game as she was investigating Alan Wake in Control's AWE expansion.
Alan Wake 2 plot
Alan Wake 2 takes place in four different locations: the town of Bright Falls, the forests around Lake Cauldron, the town of Wateree, and an otherworldly world called the Darkhold. Saga Anderson comes to Bright Falls to investigate mysterious murders and discovers pages from a horror novel whose events begin to come true. This leads her to Alan Wake, a writer who disappeared in Bright Falls 13 years ago.
Wake himself finds himself in the Dark Abode, an otherworldly world that takes the form of a modern metropolis. He is trying to return to the real world by writing a new novel.
Do you need to know the plot of the first part?
The developers claim that Alan Wake 2 will be a standalone story, and players can start with it without knowing the plot of the first part. However, fans of the first game may find references and connections to the previous game, making the experience more interesting.
Connections to other Remedy games
Alan Wake 2 is part of the Remedy Connected Universe, which also includes Quantum Break and Control. Events in the games are interconnected, and the AWE expansion for Control established a bridge between the worlds.
Story Additions and Editions
After the game's release, Remedy Entertainment plans to release two story expansions - Night Springs Expansion and Lake House Expansion. Owners of the Deluxe edition of the game will receive these additions for free. The deluxe edition also includes a season pass and various cosmetic items.
Edition Versions
The game will be available in two versions - standard and deluxe edition.
Alan Wake 2 is an anticipated sequel with a new genre and interesting characters, and fans of the original game, as well as fans of the Remedy Connected Universe, are sure to be looking forward to its release.
