Remedy Entertainment is finally making a sequel to Alan Wake. Revealed at The Game Awards on Thursday, Alan Wake 2 will continue the writer’s story in Remedy’s first foray into survival horror.
The first cinematic teaser trailer for Alan Wake 2 transitions from the woods to the city to a small town, and features voiceover from Alan, who warns that “monsters wear many faces.”
“Alan Wake 2 is our big fish. We are diving deeper than ever, into an ocean of darkness,” Sam Lake said in a post on the PlayStation Blog following the game’s announcement. “Whereas the first Alan Wake had horror elements in it, it was an action game. Alan Wake 2 is Remedy’s first survival horror game. Our take on the genre. Our opportunity to truly connect the gameplay and the story. It is a deep, layered mystery.”
Alan Wake 2 is coming to PlayStation 5, Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store), and Xbox Series X in 2023, and will be published by Epic Games.
