Matthew Porretta, the talented actor behind the voice of Alan Wake, brings the iconic character to life once again in the highly anticipated sequel. In Alan Wake 2, you will once again step into the shoes of the best-selling thriller novelist whose life takes a terrifying turn when his wife Alice goes missing. As Alan fights against dark forces and uncovers the mysterious events of the novel that he doesn’t remember writing, you are taken on a suspenseful journey through the atmospheric town of Bright Falls.
What we know about Alan Wake 2 so far?
The gameplay of Alan Wake 2 promises to introduce significant departure from its predecessor. The story picks up 13 years after the events of the first game, with Alan Wake having been trapped in the Dark Place all this time. Another notable change is the addition of a new playable protagonist, Saga Anderson, who is an experienced FBI agent.
Saga is sent to Bright Falls alongside her partner Alex Casey (played by Sam Lake) to investigate a series of ritualistic murders that have claimed the life of one of their own agency members.
Alan Wake 2 is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that the game will not be available on the previous generation consoles or Nintendo Switch.

It goes without saying, Porretta is a pivotal talent across the developer’s interconnected universe.
