Alan Wake 2 Surpasses 2 Million Sales, Now Profitable

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

In their most recent financial report to investors, Remedy highlighted this sales achievement, noting that the success of Alan Wake 2, along with the launch of The Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, has enabled the game to start generating royalties. This follows the recovery of its development and marketing expenses.

Looking to the future, Remedy is gearing up for more exciting projects. The studio announced that 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 progressing steadily in full production.

Additionally, FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's multiplayer spin-off of Control, is moving forward in full production after a successful closed technical test in December. This test allowed external players to evaluate the game's matchmaking and back-end services. Although a specific release date hasn't been announced, FBC: Firebreak is slated for a self-published launch by Remedy later in 2025.

CEO Tero Virtala expressed optimism about the company's trajectory, stating, "We are in a great place to begin our strategy period and have set targets we are confident in reaching."

In IGN's review of Alan Wake 2, the game received a stellar 9/10 score. 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."
