Alan Wake 2 Tops 2 million Sales and Finally Starts Turning a Profit

Alan Wake 2 surpasses 2 million global sales.

This figure significantly increases from the 1.3 million units sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which developer Remedy celebrated the horror sequel as its fastest-selling title.

Remedy's recent investor report highlights this achievement, stating that the milestone—combined with the launch of The Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition—has enabled the game to begin generating royalties after recovering its development and marketing expenses.

Looking forward, the studio hinted at the progress of Control 2, a collaborative project with Annapurna, indicating that it has completed the production readiness phase and will commence full production by the end of February 2025. Simultaneously, the Max Payne 1&2 Remake is also progressing steadily in full production.

Similarly, FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's multiplayer Control spin-off, remains in full production following a successful closed technical test in December. This test involved external players evaluating matchmaking and backend services. While a release date is yet to be announced, Remedy will self-publish FBC: Firebreak later in 2025.

CEO Tero Virtala expressed confidence in the company's position, stating, "We are in a great place to begin our strategy period and have set targets we are confident in reaching."

IGN's Alan Wake 2 review awarded the sequel a 9/10, praising it as a "superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison."
