It looks like Alan Wake fans won’t have to wait too much longer to see how the story will continue as Epic Games and Remedy Entertainment have announced that they will be releasing Alan Wake II on the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC on October 17th. In a rather strange move, the company is choosing to release Alan Wake II as a digital only title citing that doing so will help keep costs down, allowing the standard version of the game to remain at $59.99 USD alongside a digital deluxe edition priced at $79.99 USD that will include the expansion pass as well as costumes and weapon charms for both Alan and Saga.
Remedy has described the story saying that a string of ritualistic murders threatens Bright Falls, a small-town community surrounded by Pacific Northwest wilderness. Saga Anderson, an accomplished FBI agent, arrives to investigate. Meanwhile, Alan Wake, a lost writer trapped in a nightmare beyond our world, writes a dark story in an attempt to shape the reality around him and escape his prison. Anderson and Wake are two heroes on two desperate journeys in two separate realities, connected at heart in ways neither of them can understand. Trapped in a sinister horror story where there are only victims and monsters, can they break out to be the heroes they need to be?
A trailer showcasing gameplay and parts of the story can be found below alongside a number of new screenshots for Alan Wake II.
