Remedy has just announced a small delay for its highly anticipated third-person action thriller, Alan Wake 2. According to the team, this small delay should give gamers enough time to enjoy other games that will also come out in October.
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.

Alan Wake 2 was originally meant to come out on October 17th. The game will now target an October 27th release, meaning that it was only delayed by just ten days.
Again, this delay has nothing to do with the development of Alan Wake 2. Remedy has simply moved its release date so that it can avoid other games that will come out in the same month. So yeah, this shouldn’t really trouble, disappoint or annoy most of you.
In Alan Wake 2, players will continue the writer’s story and experience Remedy’s first foray into survival horror. According to the developers, players will assume the role of both Alan Wake and a new female FBI agent. And, from the looks of it, their stories will be interconnected.
As we’ve already reported, Alan Wake 2 will be exclusive on Epic Games Store. At least at launch. My guess is that the game will hit Steam in 2024. Moreover, Remedy has not revealed yet the game’s official PC system requirements.
