Remedy has announced a slight delay for Alan Wake 2, with the survival horror title now launching on October 27 instead of its previously confirmed date of October 17.
Alan Wake 2 is due out October 27 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. The game takes place over a decade after the events of the original Alan Wake, with the eponymous writer now trapped in the Dark Place and must find away to escape. Meanwhile, FBI agent Saga Anderson investigates the idyllic town of Bright Falls following a series of ritualistic murders, and unearths a malevolent presence that threatens to overtake the picturesque community.
Remedy previously revealed that the team looked to Resident Evil for inspiration when creating Alan Wake 2, specifically regarding making the ‘player feel more vulnerable.’ The studio confirmed that the game will last around 20 hours, with players controlling both Wake and Anderson in separate campaigns.
