Survival-horror fans, buckle up! If you thought Resident Evil 4 was the best-looking game of the genre this year, a new challenger has arrived. After 13 years of waiting, we finally have news about the sequel to this title. The first Alan Wake game combined action adventure with psychological horror; the second game is about to deliver that and more. If you were a fan of the storyline and setting, you don’t have to wait long now for your survival-horror doses. Alan Wake 2 announced its official release date during the PlayStation Showcase 2023, and we couldn’t be happier!
Release Date Revealed for Alan Wake 2
Alan Wake 2‘s official release date is October 17, 2023. We already knew the game was coming during the Fall of this year, but it is great to have a set date now. In the original game, the main character embarked on an inspirational journey with his wife to a distant island town. As the plot progresses, players are shown Alan’s innocence as he becomes enveloped in a world of shadows and blurred memories, in which his wife has disappeared.
The second game is bringing new gimmicks with another character helming the story. Agent Anderson, played by Melanie Liburd, joins the cast as the one in charge of solving murder cases in a small village. Everything becomes scarier once she discovers pages of a horror story connected to Alan Wake, who is missing. It is a fantastic plot so far, and we can’t wait to see how great it will be once the game arrives.

Alan Wake returns in this second installment but won’t do it alone this time. Two new FBI characters will join the story, needing the main character’s help. This new team will search for clues to give coherence to the mystery wrapped in shadows and mystery. Besides the new additions, the studio throws the house out of the window with its graphics and atmosphere. By using the Northlight engine, players can experience true horror when fighting supernatural enemies in both realities.
The PlayStation Showcase of 2023 was fantastic, and we’re glad to have an official release date for Alan Wake 2. This will be a highly anticipated game for this year, along with others like Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy XVI for the PS5.
