Alan Wake 2 is coming this October, adding another entry in the growing Remedy universe. The studio recently showed a new cinematic trailer at the PlayStation showcase, and now has followed up with our first look at gameplay during Summer Game Fest.
The gameplay demonstration confirmed Remedy isn't messing around when it called this its first survival-horror game. With a slower, creepy pace, a camera closer to the character, and lengthier enemy encounters, it resembles something more like Resident Evil than the original Alan Wake. One of Alan Wake 2's marquee new features is the new playable character, Saga Anderson. Watch as she explores an abandoned general store in the woods near Cauldron Lake before taking on, well, a Taken. Then, after she narrowly escapes with her life, you'll see some new investigative gameplay built around the FBI agent's background.
Since the release of Control, Remedy has started hinting more strongly that many of its games are connected, which means plenty of Easter eggs like a Max Payne cameo (of sorts). For more, check out everything we know about Alan Wake 2, along with our Alan Wake 2 preorder guide.
