Alan Wake 2 co-directors Sam Lake and Kyle Rowley discussed the game’s dual protagonist structure and confirmed investigative gameplay.
Alan Wake 2 got its first gameplay demonstration at Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest 2023. Following the live event, Remedy also presented the game to the press. We’ll have our own report soon, but in the meantime, YouTuber Danny Peña posted an interview with Co-Directors Sam Lake and Kyle Rowley.
Sam Lake discussed how Alan Wake 2 deals with the dual protagonist structure, leaving a lot of freedom in the hands of players when it comes to using Alan Wake or the newly added Saga Anderson.
Once that introduction with Saga is done, then the player in certain locations is free to switch between them, switch to play Alan Wake in the Dark Place, or switch to play Saga in the Pacific Northwest, and there is no wrong or right way to play from that point on.
If you want you can keep on playing as Alan Wake through the Dark Place experience almost to the end or you can keep on playing a saga almost to the end.
