Alan Wake 2 Tops 2 million Sales and Finally Starts Turning a Profit

Alan Wake 2 surpasses 2 million global sales, exceeding initial projections. This surpasses the 1.3 million units sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period in which Remedy Entertainment celebrated the title as its fastest-selling game.

Remedy's latest financial report to shareholders highlights this achievement, along with the launch of the Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition. The strong sales have enabled the game to begin generating royalties after covering development and marketing expenses.

The studio also provided updates on upcoming projects: Control 2, a collaboration with Annapurna Interactive, is nearing completion of its pre-production phase and will commence full production in late February 2025. Similarly, the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake is progressing steadily in full production.

IGN's review of Alan Wake 2 awarded the game a 9/10, praising it as a superb survival horror sequel that significantly surpasses its predecessor.
