Summary
- Alan Wake 2 was a massive hit when it launched in 2023, but it struggled to recoup its development and marketing costs.
- In a new financial update, Remedy has revealed that it has recouped most of Alan Wake 2's expenses.
- This will now allow Remedy to claim royalties off the game and put them towards future titles and business expenses.
When it was released on October 27, 2023, immediately slotted itself as a critical hit and surefi🎃re Game of the Year contender. The long-awaited sequel to Remedy's original title 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:of the same name was also well-received by long-time fans.
In the time since its launch, Alan Wake 2 received two DLC expansions in the form of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Lake House and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Night Springs. And despite originally being released as a digital-only title, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the game ﷽received a physical edition, too.
However, as well-received as Alan Wake 2 was, Remedy struggled to recoup its budget for the title. In August, a financial report noted how the game was still working to get back the original development and marketing co🦩sts. Flash forward tﷺo today, an꧅d Remedy has good news.

, Remedy noted that it ”had recouped most of its development and marketing e♊xpenses.”
It's important to note that The Lake House ex♔pansion, Alan Wake 2's final DLC, as well as the physical edition both launched a little over a week ago, on Oct. 22. It's entirely possible that the🌸 game has shifted into profitability territory off the back of those major developments.
Per that same financial report, the next step after recouping development and marketing expenses will be to earn royalties off the game. In this period, Remedy revealed that its royalties were down, with Control an💞d the originalꦕ Alan Wake making up the bulk of sales. However, now that the game is basically at an even keel, then Remedy will begin to claim that royalty and put it towards their future endeavors.
Either way, 💖it's good news for Remedy, particularly as it seeks to expand its gaming universe. A lack of profitabi🔯lity would no doubt impact those plans, but that appears to no longer be the case for Alan Wake 2.
