As we already know The saga is one of two playable characters, the other being Alan Wake himself, of course.. But he is still imprisoned in the Dark Place where he ended up at the end of the first part, so the Saga presents a character in whose shoes we can return to the town of Bright Falls and its environs. Newcomers who have not played previous games from Remedy will again be offered the opportunity to explore the world of the Alan Wake series with hersince Saga is also relatively new to the Bright Falls area.
As conceived by the creators, the playable FBI agent is played by an actress. Melanie Libourd, not only a capable investigator and mother, but also a very kind, empathetic character who tries to balance work and family. And, apparently, they put up with bad jokes. It is also interesting that during the development of Alan Wake 2, Saga Anderson’s character was written more and more on her rep’s bodywhich made it possible to implement new ideas based on the collaboration between Remedy and Melanie Libourd.
The developers also revealed in the video that during the development they were inspired by various detective works, which include, for example, the TV series dark case or movie Seven. In general, Alan Wake 2 should be rich in references to projects created in the 90s. The environment is based, for example, on the authors’ travels to the northwestern United States, in which we also find the fictional city of Bright Falls and Cauldron Lake. During these trips, for example, scans of trees that look the same in the game as they do in real life thanks to photogrammetry technology.
Also, the environment of Bright Falls and the surrounding area should be a bit more open this time around, so we will be able to return to certain places during the game. The dev diary itself provides an opportunity to see some never-before-seen development concepts and, more importantly, a handful of new shards from the game. However, they usually consist of sample environments or developer monitor views and various editors that Alan Wake 2 is built with.
What caught our attention was Alan’s extremely detailed and graying beard, as well as the moment one of the creators takes the mouse to control Saga in the editor. The image of mouse and keyboard controls already during development is relatively rare in promotional materials related to multiplatform games.. Usually, looking through all sorts of development diaries and behind-the-scenes documents, it’s easy to give the impression that there is nothing there but a gamepad.
Alan Wake 2 coming out October 17, 2023 on PC (Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, digital only. The game is published by Epic Games Publishing on PC and consoles.
