Check out Alan Wake 2’s launch trailer and prepare for The Dark Place

While not necessarily a shock in arrival, the Alan Wake 2 launch trailer surprised in delivery, dropping today at the Xbox Partner Preview showcase. Another surprise? We had a big reveal of new gameplay, showing a new enemy type from the sequel. If you aren’t excited by now, you have only yourself to blame. Check it out, along with a few details below. If you want to know more about the game, go look at our hands-on preview as well!

Alan Wake 2 pushes players into a psychological horror story from the perspective of two playable characters. Saga Anderson risks her life to solve a deadly mystery of murders in the Pacific Northwest while Alan Wake attempts to rewrite his reality to escape the depths of the Dark Place, a nightmare version of New York City.   

Taking full advantage of the power of current consoles and PC, and driven by Remedy Entertainment’s proprietary Northlight engine, players will take on powerful supernatural enemies in desperate situations filled with intense suspense and unexpected twists. Anderson and Wake are two heroes on two desperate journeys in two separate realities, connected at heart in ways neither of them can understand.   

More details and insight from the team at Remedy Entertainment can be found in a post on the official site.   

The best-selling and critically acclaimed original Alan Wake received multiple Game of the Year awards and followed the titular protagonist on a desperate search for his missing wife. As he discovered pages of a horror story he had supposedly written, author Alan Wake was forced to question his sanity as, page by page, the story came true before his eyes. Remedy and Epic Games Publishing have released a modern remaster of the title, Alan Wake Remastered, for PC on the Epic Games Store and on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One consoles.
