"Alan Wake 2 Surpasses 2 Million Sales, Turns Profitable"

Alan Wake 2 has surpassed an impressive milestone, achieving over 2 million sales worldwide. This is a significant jump from the 1.3 million copies sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which developer Remedy proudly labeled the horror sequel as its fastest-selling game to date.

In their 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 start generating royalties. This comes after successfully covering its development and marketing expenses.

Looking forward, Remedy is not resting on its laurels. The studio has shared exciting updates about upcoming projects. Control 2, developed in collaboration with Annapurna, is nearing the end of its production readiness phase and is set to enter full production by the end of February 2025. Similarly, the Max Payne 1&2 Remake is also making solid progress in full production.

FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's multiplayer spin-off from Control, is also moving forward in full production. Following a successful closed technical test in December, which focused on testing matchmaking and back-end services, the game is slated for self-publishing 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 overwhelmingly positive, awarding the game a 9/10. 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."
