One that he can’t remember writing. ‘Alan Wake 2’ will follow Alan and FBI Agent Saga Anderson, a new and second playable protagonist. Set thirteen years after Alan’s disappearance, a string of ritualist murders are uncovered in Bright Falls, Washington.

The Mind Palace allows for an enemy-free space where players can see a visual representation of Saga’s thoughts. The developers describe it as a 3D menu equipped with a pin board where players can connect together clues and switch between characters to gather more information. In each dimension, players will have to explore and fight enemies using firearms and a flashlight. While using the flashlight, a player can focus it on an enemy to temporarily incapacitate them. Except players will need to be cautious about their flashlight usage. However, the flashlight battery, as well as ammunition, will be scarce.
‘Alan Wake 2’ will release on October 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Epic Games Store.
