Alan Wake 2

Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC

Release Date: 27th October

From developer Remedy Entertainment (Max Payne, Quantum Break, Control) comes one of the most eagerly anticipated sequels in years.

Alan Wake, the protagonist of the first game (released in 2010) is missing; trapped in a nightmarish narrative of his own creation. Without spoiling too much of the original, here’s a taste of what you can expect in Alan Wake II. Do keep in mind– it’s a full-blown survival-horror game now…

Saga Anderson arrives to investigate ritualistic murders in a small town. Alan Wake pens a dark story to shape the reality around him. These two heroes are somehow connected. Can they become the heroes they need to be?

You don’t need to, but to get the full Alan Wake experience, you’ll want to play the original first. Lucky for you– it’s pretty darn cheap for a limited time.
