The Alan Wake series is not for everyone but those looking for a thrilling and immersive horror story that delves into the supernatural will surely find its games among their favorites. The idyllic life of the troubled novelist at Bright Falls was not what he was expecting, and it soon turned into a nightmare akin to the stories from his books. Now, a new episode is about to be released with Alan Wake 2, but it seems that the upcoming installment in the cult horror series is also suffering from some unexpected issues.
Developer Remedy Entertainment has announced via Twitter that the release of Alan Wake 2 will take place 10 days later than expected. Originally, the launch of the game was scheduled for October 17, and now it will be available to play on October 27. The reasons behind that decision probably have a lot to do with the huge number of interesting titles releasing that month, including Cities: Skylines II, Lords of the Fallen, and more.
An update from the Alan Wake 2 team: we're moving Alan Wake 2's launch from October 17 to October 27.
