This news is particularly noteworthy given Epic Games' unique involvement with Alan Wake 2. Not only did they publish the game, but they also co-financed its development alongside Remedy. While Remedy has reported that Alan Wake 2's sales met expectations and expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, they've also confirmed that the game hasn't yet turned a profit over a year after its release. Furthermore, Remedy will self-publish future titles, ensuring wider platform availability, including Steam.
