Since its reveal, Remedy Entertainment has shared small details about the game’s development and what gamers should expect for this sequel. Concept paintings for Alan Wake 2, the original actors from the first game who will reprise their roles, and even smaller details like the M rating have all been announced. Director Sam Lake has been quite open about these details, and even shared a bit about the game’s plot, calling it a “monster”.
This statement comes from one of Sam Lake’s latest tweets, giving the gaming community an update on how the plot of Alan Wake 2 is progressing. He posted a photo with lead author Clay Murphy, stating that the current number of manuscript pages is more than any other project the studio has worked on before. This implies that the plot will be longer than the first game or have a lot of dialogue throughout the game.

Sam Lake noted that the story writing phase isn’t even complete yet, but the company will take a short break over the summer and then resume writing. Sam Lake also noted that filming with the cast of Alan Wake 2 is also underway, though it’s not clear how far it has come at this stage.
