The
PlayStation.Blog has an update from Remedy Entertainment on
Alan Wake 2,
the long-awaited action/adventure sequel. The headline is the release date
saying the game will come to PlayStation 5 on October 17th. This is Sony's blog,
which probably explains why the PC and Xbox editions go unmentioned. But
Epic Games Store
and Xbox logos adorn the end of this new
Gameplay Reveal Trailer. The post also discusses what to expect from the
game and offers reassurances to players who never played the
original:
Never played the first Alan Wake (or Alan Wake Remastered)? No
need to worry, as players who may have missed out on the first game can easily
dive into the sequel without any prior experience or knowledge of the game’s
story. It was important for us to create an approachable experience for new
players without forgetting our long-standing fans. Another key pillar for us was
ensuring that we respect fundamental survival horror principles: make the
gameplay challenging for experienced players yet easy to navigate for those who
want to focus on enjoying the game’s rich, layered story.
