Scheduled to arrive on October 17, 2023, and now set to release on October 27th, Alan Wake 2 is getting a bit more time in the oven, pushing its release date back by ten days. Instead of the usual marketing hype, Remedy Entertainment is taking the high road by being transparent about this delay—because they want to ensure that players get an absolutely polished game experience. Plus, it’s not like October isn’t already jam-packed with fantastic releases! Alan Wake 2 will have some tough competition from titles like Assassin’s Creed Mirage (October 5), Forza Motorsport (October 10), Lords of the Fallen (October 13), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (October 20), and Super Mario Bros. Wonder (October 20). While these games are part of much bigger franchises, Alan Wake has always had a dedicated fanbase despite not being a commercial blockbuster like its counterparts. Let’s remember that the original game on Xbox 360 didn’t set sales records, and even the 2021 remaster was just okay in terms of commercial success. But thanks to Epic Games Publishing stepping up to cover development costs and promotional efforts, Alan Wake 2 is here now with renewed hope for a brighter future. Here’s to hoping it shines!
Exciting news for fans of Alan Wake! The highly anticipated sequel will be landing in your gaming libraries on October 27th, just a bit later than originally planned, but still this fall, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Mark your calendars because it’s almost time to dive back into the thrilling world of Alan Wake once again!
