Alan Wake 2 Surpasses 2M Sales, Turns Profitable

The latest figures show that Alan Wake 2 has surpassed 2 million sales globally. This marks a significant jump from the 1.3 million copies 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 reaching this sales milestone, along with 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 to the future, 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 progressing well in full production.

Remedy's multiplayer spin-off from the Control universe, FBC: Firebreak, is also advancing in full production. Following a successful closed technical test in December, which focused on testing matchmaking and back-end services with external players, FBC: Firebreak 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 game received a stellar 9/10 rating. The review praised the sequel as a "superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison."
