Alan Wake 2 is chosen by journalists as the most anticipated game among all Summer Game Fest projects
After the Summer Game Fest game show, journalists from 40 publications were given the opportunity to play 15 projects, after which they voted for the games they considered the most anticipated.
Here's What We Know
Alan Wake 2 became the leader in this voting. Survival-horror has been actively discussed since the end of May, when the trailer was shown at the PlayStation Showcase, but the gameplay demonstration, interviews with developers, and the opportunity for the publication to evaluate the game further fueled the audience's interest. This deservedly makes Remedy Entertainment's upcoming project one of the most anticipated in 2023, especially since fans of the first Alan Wake instalment have been waiting for the continuation of the story about the writer since 2010.
As for the other 14 games, journalists noted Armoured Core VI, Cocoon, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and Disney Illusion Island. The full list of the 15 most anticipated games from Summer Game Fest is below:
- Alan Wake II
- Armoured Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Cocoon
- Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
- Disney Illusion Island
- Foamstars
- Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior
- Immortals of Aveum
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Oxenfree II: Lost Signals
- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
- Remnant II
- Sand Land
- Sonic Superstars
- Viewfinder
