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

Alan Wake 2 surpasses 2 million global sales, exceeding initial projections.

Remedy Entertainment's horror sequel, initially reporting 1.3 million units sold between October 2023 and March 2024, has now reached a significant milestone. This success, bolstered by the release of the Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, has enabled the game to begin generating royalties after covering development and marketing expenses, as detailed in Remedy's recent financial report.

The studio also provided updates on future projects. Control 2, a collaboration with Annapurna, is nearing completion of its pre-production phase and will commence full production by the end of February 2025. Similarly, the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake is progressing steadily in full production.

CEO Tero Virtala expressed confidence in the company's strategic direction and projected targets.

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.
