As the clock slowly ticks down on another spine-chilling project, you may wonder when the Alan Wake 2 release time is. The sequel, featuring the brooding titular protagonist and a brave FBI agent, is set to provide plenty of hair-raising sequences and spine-chilling scenes, so you won’t want to miss a single moment of it.
With the Alan Wake 2 release date already appearing within players’ fields of view like the shadowy Taken, we’ll be covering all you need to know about the game’s launch window to give you an idea of when you can expect it. Without further ado, here’s what we know about its release time.
