Remedy Entertainment has released the first official trailer for Alan Wake 2. The moment fans across the world had been waiting for finally arrived today during the PlayStation Showcase 2023.
The action-packed, nerve-wrecking trailer features game’s protagonists, hints, and the possibility of multiple playable characters. Also, it finally reveals the release date – October 17, 2023. Remedy Entertainment has also started accepting pre-orders for the game.
The trailer gives us a glimpse into a series of mysterious murders, with two FBI agents investigating the case. The trailer not only sheds light on the story of Alan Wake 2 but also briefly displays certain gameplay mechanics. Dark and mysterious, the video also reveals some of the enemies, including horn and mask donning gangsters, demons, multi-armed monsters, and many other supernatural villains.
Judging by the trailer, it also seems like players will be able to play as two different characters, as the sections of the trailer that look like gameplay are shown from two different sides- one when playing as the series’ titular character and other from the perspective of the female FBI agent, Saga Anderson, who is investigating a string of horrific murders taking place on an isolated, quite town of Bright Falls.
The trailer looks amazing – both in terms of visual quality and narrative structure. It certainly sets a tense ambience with its cloudy and rainy weather, suspenseful background score, and frightening new enemies. Gamers are surely in for a treat when Alan Wake 2 releases for PS5 on October 17.
