Alan Wake 2 hits sale milestone as Remedy give Max Payne remake updateAdam StarkeyPublished February 12, 2025 1:56pmUpdated February 12, 2025 1:57pm Alan Wake 2 is in the green (Remedy)The developer behind Alan Wake and Control has shared updates on all of its upcoming games, including the Max Payne remake.Alan Wake 2 may have been developer Remedys fastest-selling game ever, but it didnt generate any actual profit in the year following its launch.As confirmed in Remedys latest financial report however, that has now changed, with the sequel having surpassed two million copies sold. The budget of Alan Wake 2, which launched digitally in October 2023 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, is estimated to have been around 70 million (58m), making it reportedly one of the most expensive cultural products to come out of Finland.According to Remedy, Alan Wake 2 had recouped its development fees and marketing investments by the end of 2024, meaning the developer has now started to accrue royalties from the title, although it remains to be seen if this will make Alan Wake 3 a possibility. Remedys best-selling game is Control, which reach 4.5 million sales in November 2024. On the face of it, it seems unlikely Alan Wake 2 will match it but that may be possible if the game is brought to Steam, and gets a boost that way.Remedy credits the launch of DLC expansions Night Springs and The Lake House for Alan Wake 2s long-term sales, alongside a PS5 Pro update patch and the release of a physical version. However, no other major additions are currently planned.Elsewhere in the report, Remedy confirmed Control 2 has entered full production as of this month. Max Payne 1&2 Remake, which is being entirely financed by Rockstar, is also making steady progress in full production, although its unclear when it will be released.More TrendingThe studios next project is FBC: Firebreak, which is slated for 2025. The three-player cooperative first person shooter was showcased during an Xbox Partner Preview last year, and is set in the same location as Control.Remedy is no doubt hoping to boost sales of of both Alan Wake and Control with its planned TV and film adaptations, which are being developed in partnership with Annapurna. The media company is also co-producing and co-financing the Control 2 game.Speaking about the partnership when it was announced last year, Annapurna Interactive president Hector Sanchez said: We know from experience that Remedy is a first-class games development partner, and were excited to share their work with an even wider audience by bringing the Control and Alan Wake universes to film, television and beyond.
