However, while Remedy previously stated they would show the game off in Summer 2022, creative director Sam Lake stated they’re now declining to do so to spend the time it’d take to make a trailer or demo on developing the game. The 2023 release date seems solid and was reiterated during the recent Alan Wake 12th Anniversary Livestream. After that, development was stopped on Alan Wake 2 until some point after the release of Control. Remedy took the work they had so far on Alan Wake 2 and put most of it into Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. Unfortunately, the publisher for the original game, Microsoft Studios, wasn’t interested in a sequel and asked Remedy to create a wholly original game that would become Quantum Break. It was meant to continue starring Alan Wake as the main character but would also put a greater emphasis on side characters like Barry and Sherrif Breaker. Right after it was released in 2010, the devs were already formulating ideas for a continuation of the story. When Remedy was developing the original Alan Wake, it was written in anticipation of a sequel. However, had things gone Remedy’s way, it would have been released almost a decade ago. Creative Director Sam Lake revealed that it’ll launch sometime in 2023. Remedy Entertainment was kind enough to give us an Alan Wake 2 release date window right as it announced the game.
