Remedy has revealed some brand new Alan Wake II concept art, featuring the man himself, one creepy enemy, and two dark and moody locations. All four are embedded below, but you shouldn't expect this to be the start of an info blowout. The Finnish developer has confirmed the game won't be shown off this summer — for example, during a Summer Game Fest showcase — so the team can focus on getting the title done. It's currently slated to arrive in 2023 for PlayStation 5 and other platforms.
In the anniversary update video (Alan Wake was released for Xbox 360 around this time 12 years ago) above, creative director Sam Lake says development is going well and a lot of the game is already playable. "We want to make sure that we create the best possible experience, the best first survival-horror game from Remedy. We don't want to take focus away from the team right now." Therefore, there won't be an update from the studio in the coming months.
Elsewhere in the video, it's confirmed the rights for an Alan Wake TV show have been sold to AMC, and that Alan Wake Remastered is launching for Nintendo Switch at the end of this year. Alongside Alan Wake II, Remedy is now remaking Max Payne and Max Payne II: The Fall of Max Payne for PS5 with backing from Rockstar Games.

This art is gorgeous. Looks very moody and atmospheric. Loved Control so can't wait to dive into the Alan Wake series. Still gotta play the remaster.
Alan Wake 2 is in my top 5 most anticipated games of the generation.
I have to say after playing Control i jumped at the chance to play the Alan Wake remaster which also turned out to be pretty great, which then led me to play Quantum break which i felt was a super underrated game. The shared world these guys have created have made these games some of all time favorites, and can not wait to see what else they come up with.
This game already told its story and it doesn’t need a follow up
The artwork looks awesome. It has a great survival horror look to it. This game will be a day one game for me. And I didn’t know they were working on a show. I’ll definitely tune in to that.
Remedy is a dev I really want to like because they come up with great concepts but for me their execution has always been lacking.
At the very least I hope in this sequel Alan Wake can move at a brisk speed without constantly getting winded.
Knitting nan is sure to be a formidable foe
@truerbluer I don't know.. The time slowing mechanism in Max Payne 1 and 2 was quite innovative for the time (I enjoyed both - although I didn't finish 2).
Alan Wake's "wear them down with light and finish them with gunpower" gameplay was simple but well done (plus you could evade enemies too).
I must say I'm hard pressed to desire more from a combat/gameplay engine (the game had other issues though like being a bit light on exploration and horror - plus the graphics weren't the best at the time IMO). I personally enjoyed my 2 playthroughs though.
i wana hang out with barry again! one funny guy!
I would have preferred some kind of streamer for an Alan Wake tv show but most of AMC's shows have been pretty good so I can see them doing the story justice.
@shgamer For me Alan Wake was just an okay game with a lot of annoying mechanics.
@Gloamin so funny enough I never played the first 2 but I played the third one years ago on pc and also loved that. I'm looking forward to the remakes of the original games though. If I'm not mistaken even these games are vaguely tied to this world.
@Otherbarry
The first two max payne games are still a ton of fun to this day, you can probably find them for very cheap and they are pretty short so you can breeze through them in a couple days.
@PegasusActual93 yeah eh maybe ill check them out then . They are also on pc if I'm not mistaken
@BReal You do remember that Alan is still trapped in the Dark place at the end of AW1 right?
AW2 will probably be all about him trying to escape and right wrongs/take on the true evil source.
