Additionally, Remedy Entertainment has given an update to the live-action Alan Wake TV series that was announced back in late 2018. AMC has picked up the rights to develop it alongside Remedy Entertainment. 

Lastly, Remedy Entertainment shared new concept artwork and information for Alan Wake II. The studio had originally intended to talk more about Alan Wake II over the summer period, but that won’t be happening anymore.

“Everything with Alan Wake II development is going really well,” said creative director Sam Lake. “We are deep in production, have a lot of material, and a great deal of the game is playable. But we’ve been talking for the past couple of months and have come to the decision here at Remedy, along with our wonderful publisher Epic Games, that we will not be showing anything big this summer.”

Lake continued, “To create a proper, polished demo or a trailer takes a lot of effort, and it’s several months of work that could take away from development. We feel that we have momentum going, and we want to make sure we are creating the best, and first, survival horror game for Remedy. We don’t want to take the team away from that focus, so we’re going to keep going and making a great game experience, and unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for a demo and trailer.”

Alan Wake II will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2023.
