The Alan Wake sequel has finally been unveiled

Alan Wake 2 has been unveiled with a gorgeous cinematic trailer debuting during The Game Awards 2021.

The trailer gives fans a fresh look at the titular protagonist more than 11 years on from the launch of the first game, and it sounds like the troubled writer's story is far from finished. We see a pretty grim crime scene in the woods before moving over what looks to be an abandoned city as Wake warns "monsters wear many faces."

"Alan Wake 2 is Remedy's first survival horror game," Lake says. "Our take on the genre. Our opportunity to truly connect the gameplay and the story. It is a deep, layered mystery."

Alan Wake 2 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC sometime in 2023. Lake also confirmed during tonight's show that the studio is "going dark" for a while, but will return in Summer 2022 with another trailer and some new info on the sequel.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
