Alan Wake 2 Gameplay Teases Two Playable Characters; Releases in October 2023
May. 25, 2023The Cult Of The Tree Makes their Reveal in Alan Wake 2
The trailer cuts open showing us two people wearing deer masks and yellow raincoats dragging a person. Then, itjumps to the person getting tied to a plank, with the deer mask people stabbing him. It does not confirm whether these are the Cult of the Tree members, a faction teased in Control’s DLC called AWE. Nevertheless, it does look like this time around players will have trouble dealing with a cult in Bright Falls.
And to combat them, players will also take the mantle oftwo characters in Alan Wake 2. Joining the game will be FBI special agent Saga Anderson, alongside a character played by Sam Lake, Creative Director at Remedy. This raises some questions, as Lake previously played a cameo role of an FBI agent for a spoof TV show in the Quantum Break universe called Return. Whether the two main characters are the same is anyone’s guess.
Outside of the two new character reveals, the trailer also confirms that players willcontrol both Saga and Alan in Alan Wake 2in numerous instances. It seems that we will get to play as Saga in the Bright Falls section of the game, while we will control Alan at the Dark Place’s rendition of Bright Falls.
We also see Saga and Alan traversing certain locations, a few glimpses at the survival horror enemies, and get a general feel of the overall gameplay. As previously mentioned by the team, this is Remedy’s first foray into the survival horror genre, and judging by the trailer, they are committing to it.
