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

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

Remedy's recent investor report highlights this achievement, attributing it to the game's success and the subsequent release of the Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition. The milestone signifies the game has entered the royalty accrual phase, having recouped its development and marketing expenses.

The studio also provided updates on upcoming projects. Control 2, a collaborative effort with Annapurna Interactive, is nearing completion of its pre-production phase and will commence full production by late February 2025. Simultaneously, the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake continues to progress steadily in full production.

Remedy's multiplayer Control spin-off, FBC: Firebreak, remains in full production following a successful closed technical test in December.

CEO Tero Virtala expressed confidence in the company's position, stating they are well-positioned to achieve their strategic goals.

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.
