Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space both took over the community with blazing guns. These two classic names in the horror genre received much-awaited remakes and brought the horror to life like never before. While these big-budget games were justifiably highly anticipated, Alan Wake 2 remains the star of the season. Sam Lake, Alan Wake 2’s Creative Director, has high hopes for the game and believes it will take the fans by surprise.
Remedy’s Alan Wake 2 has been in the making for a long time. Its 2010 predecessor is considered a classic by horror fans and set new benchmarks for the industry. Remedy Entertainment and Sam Lake are also responsible for another classic franchise: Max Payne. With the cult heroes once again back in the game, Sam Lake believes Alan Wake 2 will satiate the community just right.

Ahead of its release, Remedy Entertainment confirmed that Alan Wake 2 will be a treat with its DualSense support.

Both of the titles are big-budget games and were incredibly well-received at launch. Now, they look to make a triumphant return using technological advancements and upgraded features. But Lake assures, “They’re going to be like, ‘What the fuck is going on?’” In a recent interview, Lake talked about how cinematics play a large role in Alan Wake 2 and its progress.
During the interview, Lake mentioned that Max Payne was the original point that made Remedy discuss the possibilities of a survival horror series and Alan Wake 2 looks to carry forward the franchise’s legacy further.
