“We were all trapped in a horror story,” Wake continues writing. Tagging along for the case is agent Casey, played by the game's writer Sam Lake himself. It's described that the victim was one of Anderson's colleagues FBI Special Agent Robert Nightingale, who was seemingly chasing after a writer (presumably Wake), before his eventual murder. The sequel kicks off with Anderson uncovering pages of a horror story, seemingly written by Wake himself, albeit the events described in it seem to have played out exactly in this realm. “It's important to us that Alan Wake 2 works as a stand-alone experience but also has a ton of connections for our fans to find,” he writes. On the official website, creative director Sam Lake stated that playing as FBI agent Anderson is the ‘perfect point-of-view' for newcomers to the franchise, inviting players into Alan Wake's supernatural world. Their journeys are intertwined, but each lead toward separate disturbing pathways to unfurl the mystery surrounding a series of ritualistic murders that threaten Bright Falls - yes, that's the same location as the original Alan Wake. With the inclusion of the new protagonist, players can play either Wake or Anderson's respective stories in any order they want. Every word is a step forward into darkness.” The writing seems quite monologue-heavy and fragmented, which has to do with the game's structuring. “I'm trapped here… in this nightmare,” he says, as we see flashing glimpses of some bald guy getting tied down and feasted upon by masked cultists in a forest. The Alan Wake 2 trailer opens with a voiceover from Wake, who appears to be trapped inside the echoing abyss that is the Dark Place.
The studio also dropped a gameplay trailer for the same, which looks quite reminiscent of the recent Resident Evil remakes - that's a positive. New protagonist FBI Agent Saga Anderson shares the stage with our titular hero in this sequel, which also diverts its genre towards survival horror. During the PlayStation Showcase event, held early Thursday, developer Remedy Entertainment confirmed that the sequel to the supernatural horror game will be out on October 17, across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X. Alan Wake II just got a release date, confirming a tip from earlier this week that suggested a fall/ autumn window.
