"Alan Wake 2 Surpasses 2 Million Sales, Turns Profitable"

Alan Wake 2 has achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing 2 million sales worldwide. This impressive figure represents a significant jump from the 1.3 million copies sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which developer Remedy celebrated the horror sequel as its fastest-selling game to date.

In its most recent financial report to investors, Remedy highlighted that this sales milestone, combined with the launch of The Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, has led to the game beginning to generate royalties. This development comes after the game successfully recouped its development and marketing expenses.

Looking forward, Remedy is keeping fans excited with updates on upcoming projects. The studio revealed that Control 2, developed in collaboration with Annapurna, is nearing the end of its production readiness phase. Full production is set to commence by the end of February 2025. Alongside this, the Max Payne 1&2 Remake is also progressing steadily in full production.

Remedy's multiplayer spin-off from the Control universe, FBC: Firebreak, is also making strides. Following a successful closed technical test in December, where external players helped test the game's matchmaking and backend services, FBC: Firebreak remains on track for a self-published release later in 2025.

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

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