Alan Wake 2 has surpassed an impressive milestone, with over 2 million copies sold worldwide. This is a significant increase from the 1.3 million units sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which Remedy celebrated the horror sequel as its fastest-selling game to date.
In their most recent financial report to investors, Remedy highlighted that this sales achievement, alongside the launch of The Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, has enabled the game to begin generating royalties. This comes after the game successfully covered its development and marketing expenses.
Looking forward, Remedy is gearing up for 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 progressing steadily in full production.
Additionally, FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's multiplayer spin-off of Control, remains in full production after a successful closed technical test in December. This test involved external players and focused on evaluating matchmaking and back-end services. While no specific release date has been announced, FBC: Firebreak is slated for a self-published launch 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."
IGN's review of Alan Wake 2 was highly positive, awarding it a 9/10 and praising it as a "superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison."
