Remedy Entertainment has announced that Alan Wake 2 has reached 3 million copies sold almost 3 years since its release in October 2023. In addition, it reported 1.5 million wishlists for Control Resonant.
In Remedy’s latest financial results, it stated that Control Resonant has healthy momentum on preorders and tracking well against comparable titles in its launch window. The game will release on September 24 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The game features Dylan Faden exploring a twisted version of New York City, in a more melee-focused hack-and-slash take on the original Control game. Alan Wake 2, and all of its DLCs, are also available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Epic Games Store.
The PlayStation Store describes Alan Wake 2 as follows:
A string of ritualistic murders threatens Bright Falls, a small-town community surrounded by Pacific Northwest wilderness. Saga Anderson, an accomplished FBI agent with a reputation for solving impossible cases arrives to investigate the murders. Anderson’s case spirals into a nightmare when she discovers pages of a horror story that starts to come true around her.
Alan Wake, a lost writer trapped in a nightmare beyond our world, writes a dark story in an attempt to shape the reality around him and escape his prison. With a dark horror hunting him, Wake is trying to retain his sanity and beat the devil at his own game.
Anderson and Wake are two heroes on two desperate journeys in two separate realities, connected at heart in ways neither of them can understand: reflecting each other, echoing each other, and affecting the worlds around them.
Fueled by the horror story, supernatural darkness invades Bright Falls, corrupting the locals and threatening the loved ones of both Anderson and Wake. Light is their weapon—and their safe haven — against the darkness they face. Trapped in a sinister horror story where there are only victims and monsters, can they break out to be the heroes they need to be?
