Alan Wake 2 is a 2023 survival horror video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games Publishing. The sequel to Alan Wake (2010), the story follows best-selling novelist Alan Wake, who has been trapped in an alternate dimension for 13 years, as he attempts to escape by writing a horror story involving an FBI special agent named Saga Anderson.
Alan Wake 2 was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 27 October 2023. The game received positive reviews from critics and was nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards. It sold over 1.3 million units by February 2024, making it Remedy's fastest-selling game.
Compared to the original Alan Wake, which is an action-adventure game with horror themes, Alan Wake 2 is a survival horror game played from a third-person perspective. Players play as Alan Wake or Saga Anderson in two separate single-player stories, which can be played in any order the player chooses, although the opening and ending sequences can only be played as Saga and Alan, respectively.[1][2]
Wake and Anderson traverse environments and fight enemies using various firearms and a flashlight, the latter of which can be "focused" to render enemies vulnerable to firearm attacks. Focusing the flashlight drains its battery, and players need to strategically use a limited amount of batteries and ammunition in order to survive. When enemies are close, Alan or Saga can perform a dodge maneuver.[3]
Alan Wake 2 incorporates detective elements: when playing as Saga, players can access an enemy-free space dubbed the "Mind Place".[3] Described by Remedy as a "3D menu", the Mind Place is a visual representation of Saga's thoughts. In the Mind Place, players manage a pin board in which they can connect clues to piece together the main mystery, as well as profile characters to gather clues.[2] As Alan, players have access to the "Writer's Room", where they can see the outline of a novel he is writing. By adding and changing plot details on the outline, they are able to manipulate the space around Alan.[4] Both the Mind Place and the Writer's Room do not pause the outside world.
A returning element from Alan Wake is of finding manuscript pages that foreshadow upcoming events in the story. Alan Wake 2 features a dialogue tree system.
The game starts with a monologue by Alan while showing him with a glowing hole in his forehead. A naked man emerges from the dark shores of Cauldron Lake before he is found and ritualistically murdered.
FBI Special Agent Saga Anderson and her partner Alex Casey are dispatched to the town of Bright Falls to investigate a series of ritualistic murders performed by a group calling themselves the Cult of the Tree. They investigate the latest victim, the naked man, who is revealed as former FBI agent Robert Nightingale. Saga also finds a mysterious manuscript page that seems to predict the future. They go to the Sheriff's station to perform an autopsy on Nightingale's corpse, but it reanimates, attacks them, and escapes the morgue. Saga chases Nightingale into an "Overlap", where reality and the Dark Place touch, and kills him. She then finds Alan Wake washed up on the shore of Cauldron Lake, warning of a man named Mr. Scratch who shares his face. Saga and Casey take Alan back to town, where he recounts how he escaped from the Dark Place.
After appearing in a mysterious talk show called "In Between with Mr. Door," Alan began navigating a dark, twisted version of New York City.
Night Springs is the first of two expansions for Alan Wake 2. It was released on June 8, 2024, where it contains three self-contained stories featuring Rose Marigold, Tim Breaker, and Jesse Faden as playable characters in the format of the "Night Springs" television show, similar to Alan Wake's American Nightmare.
The premise of the DLC is three failed attempts by Alan Wake to escape the Dark Place before the events of Alan Wake 2. This is similar to Alan Wake's American Nightmare and Control DLC AWE in which Alan repurposed old scripts he wrote for the Night Springs television show to help him escape back to reality.
