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 where Remedy Entertainment celebrated it as their fastest-selling title.

Remedy's recent financial report to shareholders highlights this achievement, attributing the milestone to the game's strong performance and the subsequent release of the Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition. The success has enabled the game to begin generating royalties after recovering development and marketing expenditures.

The studio also provided updates on future projects. Control 2, a collaborative effort with Annapurna Interactive, is nearing completion of its pre-production phase and is slated to enter full production by the end of February 2025. Simultaneously, the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake is also progressing steadily in full production.

Remedy's multiplayer Control spin-off, FBC: Firebreak, remains in full production after a successful closed technical test in December. This test focused on evaluating matchmaking and backend services. While a release date hasn't been finalized, Remedy plans for a self-published launch later in 2025.

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 improves upon its predecessor.
