Ever since Alan Wake found itself in more than one predicament back in 2010, gamers and writers alike have been waiting with bated breath for an ending. Wrapping up Gamescom 2023's opening night, Remedy Entertainment has released a trailer for Alan Wake 2. While it's not too long, we now know a few more details. Check them all out below.

After the events of the last game, it's not new knowledge that Alan Wake has been trapped in the "Dark Place" for over a decade. However, Sam Lake, creative director at Remedy Entertainment, echoed the same sentiment when talking about the writer's struggles and unimaginable horrors before moving on to the new trailer.

The new gameplay trailer combines live-action footage and gameplay to portray the story. In the trailer, Wake is still trying to escape the Dark Place as he battles various monsters and, as expected, his own body double. We also see brief additional footage of previously shown protagonist Saga Anderson traversing through a medley of levels. Veteran players may also recognize familiar elements from previous titles such as Control.

The trailer ends on an eerie note with a familiar dark voice entering Wake's mind before heading towards a release date. It's worth noting that the new trailer doubles down on Alan Wake 2's new survival horror approach that will see players have an increasingly difficult experience battling monsters this time around.
