After saving his wife, Alan was trapped, but did not die. He endured thirteen years in hell. Here, his nightmares, fears and stories manifest as reality around him. For 13 years he has struggled to stay sane and write a story that would change the reality around him, allowing him to escape. So far, he has failed.

The two tie together in a number of unexpected ways and key parts of the story. The Saga is a newcomer to the supernatural lore in the Wake world, and a point-of-view character that ushers new players into Alan Wake’s universe.

Alan Wake 2 will be available for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game will be supported with free content and two paid expansion packs at launch: Night Springs and Lake House.
