Alan Wake 2 delayed in effort to ‘give more space’ between major game releases
Alan Wake 2, one of the most anticipated games of the year, is having its release date pushed back—but not because of any technical difficulties or major issues in the development cycles. No, the game is being delayed in an effort to sidestep one of the most high-traffic months for game releases of the year, the devs announced today.
The game, which was originally set to release on Oct. 17, will see its release delayed by 10 days, with its launch now set for Oct. 27 instead. This decision from Remedy Entertainment is one largely driven by an extremely competitive video game market in mid-October.
