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

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

Remedy's recent financial report to shareholders confirms this milestone. The 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 recouping development and marketing expenses.

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

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.
