Alan Wake 2, Remedy's gorgeous oddity, is finally making the developer some cash, over a year after its launch. In a financial report published today, the Finnish studio revealed that sales of the sequel had now surpassed two million units, and that "the game started to accrue royalties".
It's taken a while—Alan Wake 2 launched in October 2023, and only started turning a profit at the end of 2024, according to the financial report. With a huge development and marketing (reportedly €70 million/$73 million), there was a lot to recoup before it could start earning Remedy some cash. And while it was Remedy's fastest-selling game, and two million sales in just over a year isn't to be sniffed at, Alan Wake isn't the kinda heavy-hitter in the horror genre that, say, Silent Hill is. Bloober's Silent Hill 2 remake, for instance, hit that same 2 million sales milestone in January, only a few months after launch.
