We see scenes shift from real performances into CG models, which is something Remedy has been experimenting with ever since the first game. The major feature we learned about was that live-action footage would be very heavily integrated into the game this time around. Speaking of The Dark Place, the Opening Night Live trailer heavily focused on Alan being trapped in that twisted reality. Outside of the trailer, one note that Remedy creative director Sam Lake confirmed on Twitter was that the original voice and live-action actors, Matthew Porreta and Illkka Villi, respectively, would return to bring Alan to life.Īlan Wake World Premiere Trailer | gamescom Opening Night Live 2023 #ONL In Alan Wake, you visit the town as it’s being prepared for the 68th Deer Fest, but in the trailer, the sign reads “Deer Fest 81.” That would set the sequel 13 years after the events of the first game, the same gap between the first game and the sequel’s release. The streets are, while deserted, decorated for the annual Deer Fest celebrations. The last hint we could tease out of this teaser was a tiny detail in the moments we see of Bright Falls. The new game is also going to be set post- Control DLC, where Alan made an appearance, though Remedy states that playing that story isn’t required for understanding Alan Wake 2. Scratch, who torments our writer, who himself was in the Dark Place beneath a lake (or is it an ocean?). Without getting too deep into spoilers or lore, based on the conclusion of Alan Wake, that final face likely doesn’t belong to Alan himself, but rather to his doppelganger, dubbed Mr. He turns around, holding up a light, claiming that “This story will eat you alive.” As he turns and reveals his face, Alan whispers the final line: “This story is a monster, and monsters wear many faces.” We’re treated to a flash of Alan’s face, cheeks, and bared teeth splattered with blood before the title drops. Alan finishes his monologue as the camera reveals that the figure we’ve been drawn to is, in fact, Alan Wale himself. The camera continues to pull in as the scene warps once again to a street in Bright Falls, the location where Alan Wake took place, before shifting back to the city location. Alan begins a monologue about stories as the scene shifts to a city street, possibly New York, on a rainy night, with that same figure remaining in the scene. There’s a dead body on a wooden or stone table and a shadowy figure in the distance. It opens on a taped-off crime scene in the woods that looks very much like a location from the first game. "Finally, we did not want to ship a disc product and have it require a download for the game - we do not think this would make for a great experience either.The announcement trailer is brief, but has some interesting details hidden within it. "Secondly, not releasing a disc helps keep the price of the game at $59.99 / €59.99 and the PC version at $49.99 / €49.99. It is not uncommon to release modern games as digital-only.

This time around, Alan Wake 2 has two playable characters: Alan Wake and FBI agent named Saga Anderson. The team from Remedy joined us on IGN’s Summer of Gaming to discuss how Alan Wake 2 takes inspiration from True Detective, Hereditary, and David Lynch in the survival horror sequel. Wonder, and, reportedly, Sega’s Sonic Superstars. October 2023 also sees the launch of Microsoft’s Forza Motorsport, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. Back in 2010, launch sales of the first Alan Wake suffered due to launching in the same week as Rockstar’s behemoth Red Dead Redemption.
