Until it's THE day, I don't believe any rumor and announcement about releases anymore.

I recently played the first game and if I had played that before the sequel announcement I probably would have enjoyed it far less. There's so much unfulfilled potential in that first game, I'm really hoping this one fully realizes that concept

In my head it was actually announced for October since that's the natural month, but guess I made that up.

I am overall really curious how much Alan Wake 2 will connect back to Control. Like obviously, Control's DLC set up Alan Wake 2 and so I am curious if there will be a character from the FBC in it.

I'd say with almost certainty that that will happen.

But Control and Alan Wake are distinctive worlds, as much as they are in the same universe. I'm sure Remedy will not make the mistake of putting to much Control in AW2. So I expect the FBC to be very subtly in it. Maybe one supporting character with a bit of a bigger presence, and you may not even realize they are FBC.

So fucking hyped. Have they mentioned that they're keeping the episodic structure? I thought it was pretty integral to the flavor

If they are really going straight up primal frights than boopy spooks, than the flavor probably has changed.


Also, well, there could be meta reasons too.

Can't believe we are actually getting a true sequel...

Time to replay the remastered original, it's been a few years since I had a replay.

Love Alan Wake but will say the DLC in Control was the most frustrating part of that game for me. They stretched one mechanic way too thin and I hated that boss fight.

If it actually launches this year, I'll be happy. If it comes in October, I'd be ecstatic as that'd be a great window to launch the sequel in as they're going for a more survival horror thing this time round from what I remember.

Until its confirmed, anything can happen. I do think we'll get a release date soon, if not at Sony's showcase on Wednesday then at Summer Games Fest.

Can't wait though. I've waited so long for a sequel and the stuff they did in Control only strengthened my want for a sequel. Whatever the release date, we're getting closer and I couldn't be happier to finally be getting towards that finish line.

That's a lot sooner than I was expecting honestly, I'm guessing it will be rather conventional in structure and close to the first, doubt they could realise the original open world vision in such a relatively short dev time.
We'll see soon enough; Sony or MS showcases I'm guessing?
