Alan Wake 2 is making quite a splash in the gaming world. With over 2 million copies sold, players dive headfirst into its dark narrative and eerie atmosphere. But what’s even more? The folks at Remedy Entertainment have officially started raking in royalties from this spine-chilling sequel!
The news broke through Remedy’s financial report for the fourth quarter of 2024, where they revealed that the game hit an impressive sales milestone by year-end. Talk about a win for both gamers and developers! In their statement, Remedy mentioned: “Alan Wake 2 sales exceeded two million units during the quarter,” adding that all development and marketing costs were finally recouped.
This is simply a testament to how much players have embraced Alan’s haunting journey. As someone who spent many late nights wandering through its shadowy landscapes, I can’t help but feel a thrill knowing others are sharing in that experience.
A little more good news from Remedy’s report: Control 2 has entered full production! That’s right. Along with titles like FBC: Firebreak and Max Payne Remakes, it seems Remedy is keeping busy. They’ve teamed up with Annapurna Pictures to co-finance Control 2, which means we might look at something truly special.
The partnership also opens doors for bringing other Remedy IPs to film and television, which could dramatically broaden their storytelling universe. Can you imagine seeing Alan or Jesse Faden on the big screen? However, there was some drama surrounding this deal when reports surfaced of a mass resignation at Annapurna Interactive’s publishing division. Fortunately, Remedy’s communications director, Thomas Puha, reassured fans via X that this wouldn’t impact the Control deal since it was made directly with Annapurna Pictures.
