[TGA 2021] The Dream is Real: ‘Alan Wake II’ Announced, Coming 2023!

Published

This story is a monster. And monsters wear many faces.

After the surprise of Alan Wake Remastered earlier this year, Remedy is “ready” with Alan Wake II, which will be Remedy’s first Survival Horror title coming in 2023.

Remedy’s Sam Lake also appeared at The Game Awards to announce the game, and also made mention that Remedy will purposely be “going dark” in prep to do a proper reveal in Summer 2022.

Alan Wake II, the long-awaited sequel to Remedy Entertainment’s award-winning 2010 psychological thriller will be available in 2023 on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 & Xbox X|S.

In the first game, you play as troubled author Alan Wake, who goes on a desperate search for his missing photographer wife, Alice. The sleepy Pacific Northwestern town of Bright Falls isn’t what it seems. A malevolent presence lurks in the dark, and a horror story Alan doesn’t remember writing is coming true.

Check out the first teaser…

‘Dying Light 2’ Receives New Difficulty Mode and More With “Nightmare Mode” Update [Trailer]

Published

on

Not to be outdone by Dead Island 2‘s recent expansion, Techland has announced that Dying Light 2 is getting an update of it’s own with the much-requested Nightmare Mode, which adds “the hardest and most immersive difficulty yet” to the game, along with an array of additional elements.

Nightmare Mode for Dying Light 2 forces players to rely on tactics and strategic management of resources in order to survive. The new difficulty introduces changes to stamina management, called the Tactical Stamina system, limited HUD options for better immersion, and a flickering flashlight that goes out when used for too long. These and other additions aim to heighten the atmosphere give the overall experience a needed refresh for veteran players. Those who manage to complete the game on this highest difficulty will be rewarded with the memorable Waltz Outfit.

The Nightmare Mode Update adds more than just the new difficulty. New adjustments to the Infected and night experience are also part of the update. What’s more, co-op players will be glad to hear they will now be able to take on the Community Maps with up to three friends. Archers will get reworked power shot mechanics. And you even have the opportunity to change the appearance of the Grappling Hook.

Dying Light 2 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
