Alan Wake 2 has now surpassed a significant milestone by selling over 2 million copies worldwide. This is a notable increase from the 1.3 million copies sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which developer Remedy celebrated the horror sequel as its fastest-selling game to date.
In its most recent financial report to investors, Remedy highlighted that this sales achievement, combined with the launch of The Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, has enabled the game to start generating royalties after covering its development and marketing expenses.
Looking forward, Remedy is keeping fans excited with news about upcoming projects. The studio announced that Control 2, which is being developed in partnership with Annapurna, is nearing the end of its production readiness phase and is set to enter full production by the end of February 2025. Similarly, the Max Payne 1&2 Remake is reported to be making consistent progress in its full production stage.
Furthermore, FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's multiplayer spin-off from the Control universe, is also in full production. Following a "successful" closed technical test in December, which focused on testing matchmaking and back-end services with external players, FBC: Firebreak is slated for a self-published release by Remedy later in 2025.
CEO Tero Virtala expressed confidence in the company's future, stating, "We are in a great place to begin our strategy period and have set targets we are confident in reaching."
In IGN's Alan Wake 2 review, the sequel received high praise, earning a score of 9/10. IGN described Alan Wake 2 as a "superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison."
