Epic Games and Remedy Entertainment are stoking the hype for tomorrow’s release of Alan Wake II with a brand-new gameplay trailer. The video takes viewers inside the eerie psychological thriller that is being prepped for release on Friday, October 27th. Players can get in on the action on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Epic Games Store.
The trailer offers a peek at Saga Anderson, “an accomplished FBI agent,” who arrives in a small town to investigate ritualistic murders. Alan Wake is an author writing Anderson’s story that literally shapes reality around him. Both are heroes in separate realities yet are connected. Viewers get a look at gameplay features, locations, characters, and more.
