Remedy has confirmed that Alan Wake 2 still hasn’t recouped all of its development and marketing costs, one year after its launch.
Remedy’s Alan Wake 2 was a resounding critical success when it launched last year. It matched the studio’s historic highest Metacritic score (Max Payne’s 89). Here on Wccftech, the game earned a 9/10 score from Francesco De Meo:
Despite not aiming to revolutionize the survival horror genre, Alan Wake II is an amazing game that no one who enjoys a good trippy horror story should pass on. Remedy Entertainment really outdid themselves, releasing their best game to date and one of the most immersive gaming experiences of the past few years.
Unfortunately, it didn’t quite sell Gangbusters. Back in March, Remedy CEO Tero Virtala said Alan Wake 2 had recouped ‘most’ of its investment. The latest report that the Finnish company published today makes it sound like Alan Wake 2 barely went forward—the game still hasn’t recouped all the costs.
