Alan Wake 2 and its developer: the fact that the game only has a digital version allows us to create a better product

The interview that the developers of Alan Wake 2 offered to Eurogamer left a lot of information. In addition to knowing for a while that the duration of the game would be around 20 hours, today we also showed you some new details. For example, that the game will focus on giving us a great vibe and good horror before gore and "jump scares“.

Now we bring you the statement for Eurogamer where they say only making a digital version of this version allows them to do a better job with the final product. This is all down to not releasing it on disc, as the physical version should be playable without any type of patch. Apparently, this makes polishing the product much more difficult.

Sam Lake Explains The Reason For The Digital Release Of Alan Wake 2

As you have seen, the reason seems quite clear. If for some reason that's not enough for you and you want the full quote of everything he commented on it, just below these lines you'll get it. But deep down, They point out that not worrying about releasing the game on disc gives them more time to polish the title.

Making the game digital-only gives us more time to polish the game, give or take a few more weeks. Because otherwise, the game that will be released on disc must be perfectly playable without any patch. We don't want to release something that we're not proud of and we don't want people to play a bad product. We therefore hope that this decision will allow us to offer a better version of the game.

As you can see, the decision seems to be pretty clear, however, maybe in the future we can see Alan Wake 2 in physical format. But for now we will have to wait and see with what product he will surprise us, although being honest, we may have another great game of the year contender here. Not just because of the great work they seem to be doing, but because of people's desire.
