Alan Wake 2has yet to receive an official release date from developers Remedy Entertainment, but according to the voice actor playing its titular, torch-bearing thriller writer, we can apparently expect it to arrive sometime this October. So far, Remedy have only committed to ageneral 2023 releasefor Alan Wake 2, but voice actor Matthew Porretta told the Monsters, Madness And Magic podcast that it’s “supposed to come out in October”. That means it should be well clear of ye oldeStarfield, but that “supposed to” also suggests the date isn’t set in stone yet. Here’s hoping we get a more formal date at this year’s Summer Games Fest, perhaps.

That said, Porretta also told thepodcastthat they’re still “in the middle of working on it right now”, so I wouldn’t be surprised either if we didn’t get a date at all until much nearer the time. Have a watch of the video below (conveniently time-stamped at Porretta’s answer) to hear his full quote.

Whenever it arrives, I’m very much looking forward to Remedy’s “first ever survival horror game” after revisiting theirrecent remasterofAlan WakeThe 1st a couple of years ago - although to say that first gamedidn’talso dip its writerly toes into the survival horror genre is mildly absurd, what with its prevailing spooky dark forests, horrible crows and actually haunted farmyard machinery. You can’t tell me that possessed tractor wouldn’t look out of place in aResident Evilgame, I simply won’t have it.
