Alan Wake 2 is targeting an October release date, actor claims

Alan Wake 2 could be in line for an October release date.

That’s according to the voice of Alan himself, actor Matthew Porretta, who told the Monsters, Madness and Magic podcast this weekend that he believed developer Remedy was targeting the release window.

“I’ve been working and will be working more on Alan Wake 2. I think it’s supposed to come out in October, but I don’t know the exact time of that,” he said during the show (embedded below).

Officially, Alan Wake 2 is slated for a ‘2023’ release, published by Epic Games.

In an update on the game’s development published earlier this year, Remedy said that Alan Wake 2 had reached the stage where the game can be played from start to finish.

Alan Wake 2 was announced during The Game Awards in 2021. The reveal trailer showed off Alan in various locations including the wilderness and New York City.

At the time of its announcement, Remedy creative director Sam Lake said the game will be a “survival horror”, but noted that the game would “go dark” for some time before new information is revealed.

In an update in May 2022, Lake said development was “going really well”, adding: “We are deep in production, have a lot of material, and a great deal of the game is playable.”
