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

The latest sales figures for Alan Wake 2 reveal that the game has now surpassed the impressive milestone of 2 million copies sold worldwide. This is a significant jump from the 1.3 million copies sold between October 2023 and March 2024, a period during which Remedy Entertainment celebrated the game as their fastest-selling title to date.

In their most recent financial report to investors, Remedy highlighted that this achievement, combined with the successful launch of The Lake House expansion and the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, signifies that the game has now begun to generate royalties. This is a crucial step as it indicates that the game has fully recuperated its development and marketing expenses.

Looking forward, Remedy is setting its sights on the future with exciting developments. The studio announced that Control 2, developed in collaboration with Annapurna, is nearing the end of its production readiness stage. It is scheduled to transition into full production by the end of February 2025. Alongside Control 2, the Max Payne 1&2 Remake is also progressing well in its full production phase.

Additionally, FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's multiplayer spin-off of Control, is also advancing in full production. Following a "successful" closed technical test in December, where external players tested the game's matchmaking and back-end services, FBC: Firebreak is on track for a self-published release by Remedy later in 2025.

CEO Tero Virtala expressed confidence in the company's trajectory, 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 sequel earned a stellar 9/10 rating. The review 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."
