Join Alan Wake 2 creative director Sam Lake as he fills us in on the upcoming survival horror sequel. From explaining how live action scenes will be layered into the Dark Place to make it even more disorienting, to finding the perfect pacing for the game, Lake talks about how the sequel will differ from its predecessor. He also mentions the importance of comedy in horror as well as inspiration taken from movies like Midsommar and Seven. Alan Wake 2 pushes players into a psychological horror story from the perspective of two playable characters: FBI agent Saga Anderson and best-selling novelist Alan Wake. Saga Anderson risks her life to solve a deadly string of ritualistic murders while Alan Wake attempts to rewrite his reality to escape the depths of the Dark Place, where he’s been stuck for 13 years. Alan Wake 2 will be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on October 27, 2023.
