alan wake 2 It is the long-awaited sequel to the cult title that we have all been waiting for in everything that has been shown so far, and as promised, Remedy Entertainment brought the survival horror title to Gamescom Opening Night Live with another new presentation. And while previous screenings of the game have focused on the new protagonist Anderson Saga and the familiar locations of Bright Falls, its latest showing focuses on the main protagonist himself, Alan Wake, who finds himself in what’s on video called The Dark Place.

The Dark Place is described as a dream world created by the wanderings of Alan’s tortured mind and his writings. Of course, as the name implies, it’s not a cheerful place in the least, and will have the troubled writer come across a series of twisted nightmares.

alan wake 2As you’d expect from a Remedy game, it’ll also make use of action, which writer-creative director Sam Lake says will seamlessly intertwine with the gameplay itself. The trailer offers some interesting glimpses of that, too. Check it out below.

alan wake 2 will launch on October 27 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
