Alan Wake 2 is a digital-only game, so it won’t run up against the possibility of people obtaining a disc early and spoiling story elements as is known to sometimes happen with major releases. Remedy is not releasing the game on a disc to help keep the price down to $60.

The original Alan Wake was released all the way back in 2010 and was published by Microsoft. Epic Games published Alan Wake Remastered and partnered with Remedy again for Alan Wake 2.

“Alan Wake 2 is a deep, layered story with surprises buried inside it, waiting to be discovered. I keep catching myself smiling when I think about the absolutely insane sequences we have dreamed up for the game. I’m amazed no one has stopped us along the way,” creative director and writer Sam Lake said.
