Alan Wake 2 joins PlayStation Plus monthly games of October
Alan Wake 2 by Remedy Entertainment for PlayStation 5 consoles joins the PlayStation Plus monthly games lineup on October 7th.

The sequel to the survival horror game picks up with the protagonist thirteen years later, as Wake (voiced by Matthew Poretta) attempts to escape an alternate dimension, called the Dark Place. This time, two separate stories unfold through the introduction of playable character Saga Anderson, an FBI profiler with a reputation for solving unsolvable cases.

Built on Remedy’s Northlight engine, players can follow Wake and Anderson’s stories in any order of their choosing. Anderson’s chapter unfolds in near Wake's vacation home in Bright Falls, and extends to the primordial forests of Cauldron Lake, and the logging town of Watery.


Alan Wake 2 Original Soundtrack is available through Bandcamp, with streaming on YouTube Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music Unlimited. Alanko previously collaborating with Remedy on the music scores for Quantum Break and Control. Also included are four songs by the artist Poe, co-written with creative director Sam Lake.

Laced Records of London's four-disc vinyl soundtrack set features the original score by series composer Petri Alanko and “Yötön Yö” (‘Nightless Night.) Chapter Songs are by Fried Music & Nordic Music Partners, featuring Keira, RAKEL, Jaimes, Mougleta, Jean Castel, Paleface & ROOS + BERG. Other featured vocalists include Martti Suosalo, Matthew Porretta and David Harewood.

The previously released "Chapter Songs" album is streaming on Spotify. A behind-the-scenes video with commentary by Alanko, entitled "The Sound of Fear," can be viewed on the Remedy YouTube channel. Alan Wake 2 is available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Windows through the Epic Games Store.


From the PlayStation product page:
What starts as a small-town murder investigation becomes a living nightmare. From the studio that brought you Control comes a psychological survival horror starring two protagonists in two very different worlds. Play as both the returning Alan Wake and new hero Saga Anderson, witnessing the nightmare unfold from two perspectives – and two realities.

Help Wake to rewrite his reality as he attempts to escape the Dark Place and enter Anderson’s brilliant mind as she races to solve the case. As Anderson, explore the magnificent forests and lakes of the Pacific Northwest and meet a cast of quirky characters in the towns of Bright Falls and Watery. As Wake, survive the hostile urban nightmare known as the Dark Place. It takes more than guns to survive: Light is both the ultimate weapon and a refuge in the battle against the supernatural darkness that threatens the heroes. Fight powerful enemies in deadly close-combat encounters, making careful use of limited resources.
