Alan Wake 2 pre-order guide

Alan Wake 2 launches on Oct. 17 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and on PC via the Epic Games Store. The sequel to Remedy Entertainment’s eerie 2010 third-person shooter (remastered in 2021) retains its ominous Pacific Northwest setting, but it will be more of a survival horror game this time around. Also, the narrative will periodically switch perspectives between Alan Wake and a new character, FBI agent Saga Anderson, as they attempt to unravel the mysteries occurring in the fictional, Twin Peaks-esque town of Bright Falls, Washington.

There are currently no plans for a physical release on any platform, but there are perks that come with the standard and deluxe digital editions of the game. For more details on what you can expect to find in each version of the game, and where to reserve your copy, check out our breakdown below.
