Darkness attracts people: Alan Wake 2 sold 1.8 million copies in a year

At the end of October 2023, Remedy released the survival horror Alan Wake 2, which became one of the best games of the last year. And now it became known how many copies were sold in a little over a year.

Here's What We Know

Remedy reported in its report that Alan Wake 2 has sold 1.8 million copies. However, the game has not yet recouped all marketing and production costs. However, at this rate, the game has a chance to fix it.

In our review, we wrote that Alan Wake 2 is Remedy's largest project. We had to wait for the sequel for 13 years, but this is the case when every minute of waiting was worth it. The game managed to present an interesting and twisted story with two protagonists at once: detective Saga Anderson and writer Alan Wake. The first one does not know what awaits her and arrives to investigate one of the murders in which a mysterious cult took part. Alan is still trying to escape from the place where he was trapped in the first part, but soon the fates of these two intertwine to help each other. At the same time, the sequel was created in the survival horror genre, so the gameplay is very different from the first part. The emphasis is now on exploring locations, and there are significantly fewer enemies, although you need to use your resources correctly, because the smaller number of enemies is compensated by their strength and skills. The atmosphere in the game is high and has its own contrasts, as we will have to visit small towns in the United States and the night and gloomy analogue of New York. Add to this all the surprises that people who have played previous Remedy projects will appreciate, and we have a great game.
