It was to arrive on October 17, 2023, it will finally see the light of day on October 27, Alan Wake 2 therefore sees its release date shifted by 10 days. One could think of the usual marketing chatter, with this need to release a polished game as it should be, but the Remedy Entertainment studio prefers to be honest by specifying that if the game is delayed, it is to allow players to enjoy their favorite games of the month of October, a period for the least loaded with releases. It must be said that Alan Wake 2 must face games such as 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). Highly more mainstream titles than the Alan Wake license which has never been a big commercial success. We remember that sales of the first episode on Xbox 360 had not been explosive and that the remaster released in 2021 was also a commercial disappointment. And besides, if Alan Wake 2 exists today, it’s thanks to Epic Games Publishing, which supported the development costs of the game, but also the entire promotional campaign. Fingers crossed for success.
Alan Wake 2 is now expected for October 27 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
