Alan Wake 2 Hasn’t Fully Recouped Development and Marketing Costs Yet

Alan Wake 2 enjoyed widespread critical acclaim upon its launch last year, while as of the beginning of February, it had also sold over 1.3 million units worldwide, becoming Remedy Entertainment’s fastest-selling game to date. In spite of a solid start, however, it hasn’t quite sold enough to start turning a profit yet.

In its recently published quarterly report, Remedy revealed that Alan Wake 2 still hasn’t fully recouped its development and marketing costs, which also means it has “not yet generated royalty revenue.” According to the developer, however, the survival horror title has recovered a “significant” part of its aforementioned costs, and that its sales “have continued with a high average price.” Meanwhile, work is also continuing on the game’s upcoming paid expansions.

Alan Wake 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It will also add a Photo Mode with a free update sometime this spring. Remedy Entertainment has also said that it intends to “grow and expand” both Control and Alan Wake franchises, and that it wants a “more regular cadence of sequels” for both.
