Will now launch October 27th
Alan Wake 2has been delayed, but only for ten days. The survival horror sequel will now release on October 27th. In an announcement posted on Twitter, the officialAlan Wakeaccount wrote that they “hope this date shift gives more space for everyone to enjoy their favorite games.”
The fulltweet announcementcalls October an “amazing month for game launches” and thanks the audience for their patience.
Alan Wake 2 had been due to release on October 17th, three days before the release ofSpider-Man 2on PlayStation 5 and Super Mario Wonder on Nintendo Switch. I don’t know how much difference a ten day shift will make, but it still puts it within days of Cities Skylines 2 andMetal Gear Solid: Master Collection, both of which release on October 24th.Assassin’s Creed Mirageand Lords Of The Fallen are both due for release earlier in the month.
Remedy have talked up Alan Wake 2 as a proper survival horror game, versus the horror-tinged third-person action of its predecessor. Ed had a look at it at E3earlier this yearand also found it a strong detective game. Alice O has some hesitation, however, based onRemedy’s history of making “big moods” which collapse into bad gunfights.
