‘Alan Wake 2’ Bumped to October 27 Release
We’ll have to wait a few days more for Alan Wake 2 this October. Originally scheduled for an October 17th release, Epic Games and Remedy have announced that the highly-anticipated follow-up to the 2010 original will now be coming out on October 27th for PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series.
The official Alan Wake 2 Twitter/X account posted the delay, saying that the month—which already includes Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 1, and Alone in the Dark, to name a few— is “amazing” for game launches, and the shift in release dates “gives more space for everyone to enjoy their favorite games”. Remedy also plugs Alan Wake 2‘s appearance next week at Gamescom, teasing additional reveals for the game.
Understandably, October is crammed with releases, so it only makes sense that Alan Wake 2 makes a bit of breathing room for itself to avoid getting lost in the mix.
Alan Wake 2 centres on the eponymous writer and Saga Anderson, an FBI profiler with a reputation for solving unsolvable cases. Anderson arrives in Bright Falls to investigate a string of ritualistic murders, which soon slides into a nightmare when Anderson discovers pages of a horror story, a horror story that starts to come true…
Meanwhile, Alan Wake is trapped in a nightmare prison beyond our world, writing a dark story to shape reality in a desperate bid to escape. Hunted by an insatiable horror, Wake struggles to retain his sanity and beat the devil at his own game.
An update from the Alan Wake 2 team: we're moving Alan Wake 2's launch from October 17 to October 27.
October is an amazing month for game launches and we hope this date shift gives more space for everyone to enjoy their favorite games.
We can't wait to show you what everyone's… pic.twitter.com/GpLxyr2xvY

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
