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

Alan Wake 2 has surpassed the remarkable milestone of 2 million sales worldwide, demonstrating its strong appeal and success in the gaming community. This is a significant increase from the 1.3 million copies sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which developer Remedy proudly declared the horror sequel as their fastest-selling game to date.

In their latest financial report to investors, Remedy highlighted that this sales achievement, 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 covering its development and marketing expenses.

Looking forward, Remedy is keeping the momentum going with exciting updates on their upcoming projects. Control 2, which is being developed in collaboration with Annapurna, is nearing the end of its production readiness stage. The studio plans to kick off full production by the end of February 2025. Similarly, the Max Payne 1&2 Remake is steadily progressing in full production, promising fans more thrilling adventures to come.

Additionally, FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's multiplayer spin-off of Control, remains in full production after a successful closed technical test in December. This test allowed external players to evaluate the game's matchmaking and back-end services. Although no specific release date has been announced, FBC: Firebreak is slated for a self-published launch by Remedy 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 game received a stellar 9/10 score. 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."
