For those unaware, Alan Wake 2 is the sequel to the iconic 2010 title that quickly became a cult classic. In the upcoming survival horror game, you get to play as Alan Wake or Saga Anderson. Both characters have separate stories to follow, and you can do so in any way you want.

Ritualistic murders, nightmares, and dark horrors await players in Alan Wake 2. While the wait got a little bit longer, the hype and excitement surrounding the title will only increase with every passing day.
