‘Alan Wake 2’ Wins 3 Awards at The Horror Game Awards 2023, Including Horror Game of The Year
After picking up three wins earlier this month at The Game Awards 2023, Remedy’s Alan Wake 2 picked up another three wins at The Horror Game Awards 2023 earlier today. The event also had world premiere trailers for over 20 new titles, as well as a few titles that have already been released that you should check out.
Alan Wake 2 earned wins for Best Narrative, Best Soundtrack (Petri Alanko), and of course, Horror Game of The Year. Alan Wake 2‘s rival this year in Capcom’s Resident Evil 4, which had the unfortunate task of being nominated in many of the same categories. RE4 still earned wins in Best Performance (Nick Apostolides for Leon Kennedy) and Best Survival Horror, while Capcom itself won Best Developer.
The Player’s Choice Award this year, having been pared down from an initial list of 30 titles, ended up going to Black Tabby Games’ Slay The Princess, while the Most Anticipated Horror Game went to Konami’s Silent Hill 2.
Here’s the rundown of the winners and their categories this year:
- Best Performance – Nick Apostolides, Resident Evil 4
- Best Narrative – Alan Wake 2
- Best Soundtrack – Alan Wake 2
- Best Developer – Capcom
- Best Horror Multiplayer – Lethal Company
- Best Indie Horror – Signalis
- Best Survival Horror – Resident Evil 4
- Player’s Choice Award – Slay The Princess

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
