We revealed Alan Wake II at The Game Awards last December, and back then, we promised to show off the long-awaited follow-up this summer. Our plans have since changed, as they sometimes do when making games.

Here’s the update on the development of Alan Wake II that Sam shared in the video.

“Everything with Alan Wake II development is going really well,” said creative director Sam Lake. “We are deep in production, have a lot of material, and a great deal of the game is playable. But we’ve been talking for the past couple of months and have come to the decision here at Remedy, along with our wonderful publisher Epic Games, that we will not be showing anything big this summer.”

Lake continued, “To create a proper, polished demo or a trailer takes a lot of effort, and it’s several months of work that could take away from development. We feel that we have momentum going, and we want to make sure we are creating the best, and first, survival horror game for Remedy. We don’t want to take the team away from that focus, so we’re going to keep going and making a great game experience, and unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for a demo and trailer.”

As part of this update, we have also shared some concept art, giving players a small tease of what to expect.

Alan Wake II is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Epic Games Store in 2023.
