We’ll have to wait a few days more for Alan Wake 2 this October. Originally scheduled for an October 17th release, Epic Games and Remedy have announced that the highly-anticipated follow-up to the 2010 original will now be coming out on October 27th for PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series.
The official Alan Wake 2 Twitter/X account posted the delay, saying that the month—which already includes Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 1, and Alone in the Dark, to name a few— is “amazing” for game launches, and the shift in release dates “gives more space for everyone to enjoy their favorite games”. Remedy also plugs Alan Wake 2‘s appearance next week at Gamescom, teasing additional reveals for the game.
Understandably, October is crammed with releases, so it only makes sense that Alan Wake 2 makes a bit of breathing room for itself to avoid getting lost in the mix.
Alan Wake 2 centres on the eponymous writer and Saga Anderson, an FBI profiler with a reputation for solving unsolvable cases. Anderson arrives in Bright Falls to investigate a string of ritualistic murders, which soon slides into a nightmare when Anderson discovers pages of a horror story, a horror story that starts to come true…
Meanwhile, Alan Wake is trapped in a nightmare prison beyond our world, writing a dark story to shape reality in a desperate bid to escape. Hunted by an insatiable horror, Wake struggles to retain his sanity and beat the devil at his own game.
An update from the Alan Wake 2 team: we're moving Alan Wake 2's launch from October 17 to October 27.
October is an amazing month for game launches and we hope this date shift gives more space for everyone to enjoy their favorite games.
