"Alan Wake 2 Surpasses 2 Million Sales, Turns Profitable"
Alan Wake 2 has achieved a remarkable milestone by surpassing 2 million sales globally. This impressive figure marks a significant increase from the 1.3 million copies sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which Remedy celebrated the horror sequel as its fastest-selling game to date.
In the company's latest financial report shared with investors, Remedy highlighted that this sales achievement, along with the launch of The Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, has enabled the game to "start accruing royalties" after covering its development and marketing expenses.
Looking forward, Remedy is gearing up for more exciting projects. The studio announced that Control 2, which is being developed in collaboration with Annapurna, is nearing the end of its production readiness phase and is set to enter full production by the end of February 2025. Similarly, the Max Payne 1&2 Remake is also reported to be "making steady progress in full production."
Meanwhile, FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's upcoming multiplayer spin-off from the Control universe, is also advancing well in its development. After a "successful" closed technical test in December that involved external players testing the game's matchmaking and back-end services, FBC: Firebreak is on track for a self-published release later in 2025.
CEO Tero Virtala expressed confidence in 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 Alan Wake 2 review, the sequel received a stellar 9/10 rating, with the review praising it as a "superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison."
