Alan Wake 2 has surpassed a significant milestone, reaching over 2 million sales worldwide. This impressive figure marks a substantial increase from the 1.3 million copies sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which developer Remedy celebrated the horror sequel as its fastest-selling game to date.
In its latest financial report to investors, Remedy highlighted that this sales achievement, combined with the launch of The Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, has enabled the game to begin generating royalties. This development comes after the game successfully recouped its development and marketing expenses.
Looking forward, Remedy is gearing up for more exciting projects. The studio announced that Control 2, developed in collaboration with Annapurna, is nearing the end of its production readiness phase. It is set to enter full production by the end of February 2025. Similarly, the Max Payne 1&2 Remake is also making steady progress in its full production stage.
Additionally, FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's multiplayer spin-off from the Control universe, is advancing in full production. Following a successful closed technical test in December, which focused on testing matchmaking and back-end services with external players, the game is slated for a self-published release by Remedy later in 2025.
CEO Tero Virtala expressed confidence in the company's future, stating, "We are in a great place to begin our strategy period and have set targets we are confident in reaching."
In IGN's review of Alan Wake 2, the sequel received a stellar 9/10 rating. The review praised it as a "superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison."
