Alan Wake 2’s parents are obliged to create hits, but they have told investors that they “must never lose” the ingredient that makes them special. It is one of the best games in the survival horror genre, and it’s still not profitable for Remedy despite having sold 1.8 million copies. The creators of Alan Wake 2 know they are obliged to create hits, but they have made it clear to investors that they “must never lose” the ingredient that makes them special.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remedy Entertainment has cemented its reputation as one of the most unique studios in the gaming industry, delivering titles like Control<\/em> and Alan Wake 2<\/em>. If you\u2019ve played the latter and followed its news, you know that Alan Wake 2<\/em> remains unprofitable for the studio despite selling 1.8 million copies. The studio has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to craft deep stories and creative mechanics that transcend conventional gaming.<\/p>\n

Remedy\u2019s popularity is well-earned, and fans recognize the studio\u2019s special qualities. The Finnish developer has sent a message to investors, assuring them that they will not lose their distinctive edge. According to GamesRadar<\/em>, creative director Sam Lake recently addressed game production, emphasizing the need for balance between commercial success and artistic ambition.<\/p>\n

” Games require long, complex productions. Games are cutting-edge technological achievements. Games are a business. We strive to create commercial successes. All of this is true, all of this is necessary, all of this must be in balance for us to be successful. What else is true? Games are ambitious, exciting, works of creative expression. Games are high-quality entertainment. What we create at Remedy is special, and we must never lose that ,” Lake told investors.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next for Remedy?<\/h3>\n

Remedy\u2019s future looks incredibly promising. With Alan Wake 2<\/em> now a year behind them, the Finnish studio is focusing on several upcoming projects. Next year will see the release of FBC Firebreak<\/em>, an experimental co-op shooter debuting on Game Pass and PS Plus Extra. Additionally, the Max Payne<\/em> remakes are in active development, and the next major project, Control 2<\/em>, is set to be an action RPG, though it will be a few years before it launches.<\/p>\n
