Alan Wake 2 is scheduled for release on October 27, promising a thrilling adventure in the survival horror genre. Remedy Entertainment, the game’s developer, has announced post-launch features that will add layers of depth and replayability to the game.
After navigating through the game’s terrifying landscapes and intricate plot, you might think it’s over. But that’s not the case. A New Game Plus mode is in the pipeline, meaning you’ll be able to dive back into the story with all of your previously unlocked weapons and upgrades in tow. Although the exact timing of the New Game Plus mode’s release is yet to be confirmed, it’s clear that Remedy has long-term plans for the game’s lifespan.
For those who find the game’s challenges a bit too easy, Remedy is also introducing a new difficulty level named Nightmare. The tweet by Remedy can be found below:
