Hype merchant Geoff Keighley is currently building up towards his next major gaming showcase. Later this month, on 22nd August, he'll be hosting Gamescom Opening Night Live, which will feature updates and announcements on various upcoming titles. The teases have begun in earnest now, with Keighley enticing horror fans with the promise of Alan Wake 2.
Yes, Remedy's upcoming sequel will be present during the show, and the host is teasing a "brand new reveal", whatever that means:
It's not unreasonable to expect a bit of gameplay, seeing as the game is fast approaching its October launch. We've seen a little of the game in action, but we reckon we'll be seeing a good chunk more during Gamescom's showcase.
This probably won't be the last game Keighley teases before the big night, so keep a lookout on social media for more hints. Are you excited to see Alan Wake 2 at Opening Night Live? Keep the lights on in the comments section below.

True story, my friend was at university, got a scholarship at Remedy, got offered a full time job there and is now working on the engine for this game and others.
Can they reveal a physical Version
Looking forward to dropping every game I’m trying to get through to play this one in October! Can’t wait! Love Remedy!
@KaijuKaiser. N.i.c.e. my space alien ex girlfriend works at atari.word up son
I believe I saw the Remedy community director mention a demo too? Not sure if that's something available for download or maybe just playable at Gamescom or even for the press only, though.
My step-grandfather showed me the schematics for the Playstation 6 right before I killed him.
@Cashews @playstation1995 😂😂
Can't wait for October to get here for this one.
Gamescom is shaping up to be a pretty big show. It's just absurd that Sony isn't having a presence there. It has allowed the Xbox booth to be the place to be to see all the anticipated third-party games on top of their upcoming first party titles.
This state of play format just straight up isnt working and has only aided in dissolving consumer relations and brand reputation. So much is riding on Spiderman for the near future, it's a shame. Their stock tanked because of it.
Hopefully this leads to an eventual shake up in leadership and respect for their audience.
I'm looking forward to this on nightmare difficulty. That's where Alan Wake remastered truly came alive for me.
Is this where they'll announce there's a physical edition coming after all?
I just want atmospheric and otherworldly mystery. Less focus on monster killing and more focus on mind bending story and uncomfortable fear.
loved alan wake shame about no physical release i wont be buying
@MagisterMagi
I came here to say the same thing..lol
@Powerplay94 really? I could have sworn the report stated they downgraded their outlook on Playstation due to first party delays they hadn't announced publicly. Yet still expected to sell within a certain forcast because bundles were picking up in sales. I could be wrong though, they were all articles from playstation lifestyle.

@KundaliniRising333 Ultimately the upcoming lineup decides whether it makes sense to show up and the May showcase made it rather clear that Sony's upcoming lineup is on the lighter side.
Not to say it couldn't have worked, Nintendo in 2016 showed up to multiple conventions with just BotW. But irrelevant of whether Sony showed up to Gamescom, their focus would've been on Spider-Man 2.
Helldivers 2/Concord/Fairgame$/Marathon is live service so it'll go the online beta route and who knows if 3rd party single player games like Stellar Blade/Rise of the Ronin would be ready for a playable demo on the show floor.
Sony's error was going all in on live service as while games like Fortnite are still popular, live service is a rather hated game genre on a more widespread level nowadays.
The delayed 1st party games brought up in the earnings report were likely live service given Sony's announced last year targets for 3 live service games in the fiscal year ending March 2023 (2 happened) and 12 live service games by 2025.
