This marks Remedy's debut in the live-service game market, and it will be launched using a "service-based fixed price" model.
Alan Wake 2 and Max Payne Remake Progress
Alan Wake 2's Night Springs expansion has received positive critical and fan reception. The game itself has already recouped the majority of its development and marketing costs, demonstrating strong sales performance. A physical Deluxe Edition launches October 22nd, followed by a Collector's Edition in December. Pre-orders are open on the official Alan Wake website.
