Alan Wake 2 will be delayed until October 27
Remedy has announced a modest postponement of “Alan Wake 2,” but this decision was not precipitated by any developmental issues surrounding the game. Instead, the rationale behind this deferment is rather straightforward: October brims with game releases. As such, “Alan Wake 2” has been rescheduled from October 17th to the 27th.
On their official Twitter, the developers elucidated:
“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. We can’t wait to show you what everyone’s favorite novelist is up to in the Dark Place next week. Thanks for your patience!”
Indeed, October is rife with game debuts. According to Shacknews‘ calendar, titles such as “Assassin’s Creed: Mirage,” “Forza Motorsport,” and “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” are all slated for release this month. Furthermore, the preceding months of August and September have already heralded the launch of heavyweight titles like “Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon,” and “Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.” Thus, for the ardent gaming aficionados who traverse a myriad of genres, there seems to be an inexhaustible reservoir of new titles. Given this context, Remedy’s decision appears to be judicious.
“Alan Wake 2” is set to be available on platforms such as PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Since it’s being distributed by Epic Games, PC enthusiasts can presently procure it exclusively from the Epic Games Store.
