Alan Wake 2 Now Releasing on October 27

Remedy Games announced Alan Wake 2 will now release on Oct. 27, instead of the previous Oct. 17.

According to the X post the shift was due to Oct. having a number of exciting releases and wanting to give players more space to enjoy them. This makes sense, as the previous release date was just three days before Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

For those who haven’t kept up with the exciting sequel can find the official overview for Alan Wake 2 below.

A string of ritualistic murders threatens Bright Falls, a small-town community surrounded by Pacific Northwest wilderness. Saga Anderson, an accomplished FBI agent with a reputation for solving impossible cases arrives to investigate the murders. Anderson’s case spirals into a nightmare when she discovers pages of a horror story that starts to come true around her.

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. With a dark horror hunting him, Wake is trying to retain his sanity and beat the devil at his own game.

Anderson and Wake are two heroes on two desperate journeys in two separate realities, connected at heart in ways neither of them can understand: reflecting each other, echoing each other, and affecting the worlds around them.

Fueled by the horror story, supernatural darkness invades Bright Falls, corrupting the locals and threatening the loved ones of both Anderson and Wake. Light is their weapon—and their safe haven — against the darkness they face. 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?
