A gameplay trailer was shown for Alan Wake 2 during the PlayStation Showcase this evening, and we were also given a release date.
Out on October 17, as Wake’s voice actor pretty much confirmed, the game finds Alan Wake missing since 2010 while on a vacation in the Pacific Northwest with his wife. Here, he came face to face with a force of supernatural darkness, bringing the writer’s horror story to life.
After saving his wife, Alan was trapped, but not dead. He has endured the hell of the Dark Place for 13 years. Here, his nightmares, fears, and stories manifest as reality around him. For 13 years, he has been fighting to stay sane and write a story that would change reality around him for him to escape. So far, he has failed.
