"Alan Wake 2 Surpasses 2 Million Sales, Turns Profit"
The horror sequel Alan Wake 2 has now surpassed an impressive milestone, with global sales reaching over 2 million copies. This marks a significant increase from the 1.3 million copies sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which Remedy celebrated the game as its fastest-selling title to date.
In its most recent financial report to investors, Remedy announced that this sales achievement, combined with the launch of The Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, has enabled the game to begin generating royalties. This milestone comes after the game has successfully recouped its development and marketing expenses.
Looking forward, Remedy is not slowing down. The studio has provided updates on several upcoming projects. 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 reported to be making consistent progress in full production.
Additionally, FBC: Firebreak, a multiplayer spin-off of Control, remains in full production. Following a successful closed technical test in December, where external players helped test matchmaking and back-end services, the game is on track for a self-published release by Remedy later in 2025.
CEO Tero Virtala expressed optimism about the company's future, 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."
