We were treated to a few minutes of survival horror gameplay on Thursday night as Summer Game Fest kicked off. Alan Wake 2which showed that, compared to the first part of 2010, we are in for a much darker, more oppressive and slower experience. However, these days, selected foreign journalists can watch a 30-minute demo as part of the Summer Game Fest Play Days event.where the public sample is taken from. And now the FZ.se server has published a few more excerpts from this demo, which the Finnish studio Remedy provided to the invited media.

As for Thursday’s demonstration, it’s probably not surprising that I The newly released footage is taken from parts of the game in which we will be playing FBI agent Saga Anderson.. She will obviously create a base in the town of Bright Falls, where we can read the found pages of the manuscript of the also playable Alan Wake, who is still imprisoned in the Dark Place, examine the clues, connect the various clues. and indeed progress in the investigation of what really happened in Bright Falls is going on. And what happened to Agent Nightingale, whom we met in the first volume.
Looks like Control from 2019 apparently at certain points, there will be a mix of gameplay and footage that looks like it was filmed with real actors.. Here, after investigating the trail leading to the heart of Agent Nightingale, we can see a monologue of a kind of bald man who tells us looks and sounds a bit like Doug Cockle, the voice of Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher. Even this is not so surprising after all Alan Wake and Control take place in the same world. and this is probably just one of many minor connections.
The next set of shots offer a new take on combat. Contact with the enemy here gives us the opportunity to know the power of a sharpened shotgun. and just like in the first part, you must first use the light to remove the protection provided by the Darkness from the enemies before they can be wounded and killed with conventional weapons. Again, the enemies also proved to be more durable this time around, but they seem to have weak spots worth targeting.
On the whole, there will clearly be no shortage of supernatural elements, as evidenced by the passage in the trunk of the tree, which also shows a drawing of an old woman. Maybe this Barbara Jagger, whose uniform Darkness had in Volume 1.? Who knows. But it is safe to say that this the agent who accompanies Saga in another section around the Lake Cauldron is Alex Casey, Alan Wake’s bestselling hero..
He lent his face to Casey Sam LakeRemedy’s creative director and the man whose face is worn by Max Payne in the first part of the 2001 cult action movie. Voice of Saga’s FBI partner James McCaffrey, who voiced Max in all three Remedy and Rockstar games, and also voiced former director Trench in Control. So it looks like Alex Casey is not only the embodiment of what Alan Wake wrote, but also sort of an alternate version of Max Payne in the Remedy Connected Universe.which so far officially includes only the Alan Wake and Control brands.
In any case, everything that we can see in the new gameplay footage falls into the history of the Anderson Saga, which is intended, among other things, to be an intermediary for new players who, like the Saga, do not know the history of the Alan Wake series. or the events that happened in Control and its DLC AWE. However, already during the opening of the Summer Game Fest, Sam Lake emphasized that quite soon after the start of the game in which we will automatically play as Saga, we will be given the opportunity to go to Alan himself and play as him too.
During the game, it will be possible to switch between the two characters thanks to the many connection points, but it seems that no one will stop you from staying with Alan or only Saga until almost the end of the story. According to Lake, in addition to there is no correct way to play Remedytherefore, you can only focus on one of the two playable characters, or switch between them from time to time.
Alan Wake 2 coming out October 17/October 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.
