Remedy Entertainment is on a mission to make Alan Wake 2 stand out as the best-looking game of the year. Fans were given a sneak peek of the upcoming survival horror sequel in the PlayStation Showcase trailer and were blown away by the upgraded visuals, which now have a more photorealistic look. The new trailer has drawn comparisons to other survival horror games like the Resident Evil 2 remake and its sequels. Remedy Entertainment has been very interactive with its fans, providing details about the Deluxe Edition and pre-order bonuses. Communications director Thomas Puha confirmed that the game was run entirely on PS5 hardware.
Remedy Entertainment is determined to create the most visually stunning game of 2023, according to a statement made by Puha. This ambition is in line with the studio's previous goal of making Alan Wake 2 the most visually impressive game in their library. Puha emphasizes that the studio has gone above and beyond in terms of graphical fidelity, as evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive response from fans on his post.
Fans were quick to praise the game's attention to detail and atmospheric horror elements, hoping that these aspects would translate well across all platforms. Puha reassures fans that the game will look just as incredible on Xbox and PC, addressing concerns about recent buggy game launches. He also reveals that an early version of the trailer was made on November 22, 2022, and expresses his desire to release a comparison of the two trailers in the future.
Remedy Entertainment recently announced that Alan Wake 2 will be available exclusively in the digital format, a decision that has generated dissatisfaction among some of the game's fans. THQ Nordic has stepped in to offer financial assistance for the physical publication of the survival horror game. Despite the controversy, gamers can look forward to experiencing the exciting new developments in the game when it launches on October 17 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
