At Gamescom 2023, Remedy had a playable demo of Alan Wake 2 that attendees could play. So, below you can find a video, showcasing 14 minutes of gameplay footage from it.
In the Alan Wake 2 Gamescom 2023 Demo, players assume the role of Alan Wake himself. Yeap, contrary to its Summer 2023 Demo, in this one, you control Alan Wake and not Saga Anderson. This will definitely please a lot of Alan Wake fans as this is exactly what they’ve wanted to see.
Needless to say, this video contains spoilers, so make sure to avoid it if you want to experience this section yourselves.
In Alan Wake 2, players will continue the writer’s story and experience Remedy’s first foray into survival horror. According to the developers, players will assume the role of both Alan Wake and a new female FBI agent, Saga Anderson. And, from the looks of it, their stories will be interconnected.
Alan Wake 2 will be also among the first games that will take advantage of DLSS 3.5. DLSS 3.5 will introduce Ray Reconstruction and promises to offer better visuals in games that use Ray Tracing/Path Tracing. And, as we’ve already reported, Alan Wake 2 will be fully path-traced on PC.
Remedy was originally planning to release this third-person action thriller on October 17th. However, the game will now target an October 27th release, meaning that it was delayed by ten days.
Enjoy this 14-minute gameplay walkthrough of the Alan Wake 2 Gamescom 2023 Demo, and stay tuned for more!

Just Woooooooow
wow? what wow? Its the order 1886 all over again, all graphics no gameplay.
Dude… Calm Down https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cbe8fae307f80f1a9ebbeef8fc89ec49814fb38252001855b6dfecc5625355a8.png
Am i wrong? Is this footage not super slow and feels like a movie like the order 1886?
It’s B-Roll footage meant to played with press previews. So yes it’s slow. It’s a deliberately slow demonstration of the environments and basics of the combat. This is very common for studios to provide this type of slower pace material for the press. What’s new is that stuff getting out and put on YouTube channels for all to see
“it deliberately sucks”
Mate everyone said the same thing about the first game “oh its open world, oh its non linear its gonna have a great story and a town to explore its gonna be like silent hill” and then it came out and it was the most generic simplified on rails game at the time, this looks no different it just has more cringy live action videos.
I’m not trying to convince you of anything. And, as mentioned above, nobody is talking about Alan Wake 1. Quit bringing it up. The point of my response was simply to inform of that very common style of presentation for press footage. Many many games have done the same thing. It’s not meant to demonstrate what an actual player playing would look like. It’s meant to basically demonstrate their graphics and how much work they put into the level design, along with a very basic look at gameplay, often with cheats enabled
“the show off sucks on purpose”

isnt this what he wanted though? There is a literal real life long cutscenes in the “gameplay” video.
“videogames”
I love downvoting your every comment. Not one single time have I seen a comment from you that isn’t dumb. How does it feel to be the donkey of this site that everyone loves piling upon?
I usually get alot of likes i used to get alot more but you morons came here and ruined it with your redditor opinions.
The guy is a snowflake, but you don’t sound like you have a healthy psyche, seek a doctor.
and you another hobby than replying to me.
You fascinate me. I can’t believe someone in his 30s can’t read a simple number.
I can’t look away from your comments.
i am in my 30s?
also i just checked my last 10 comments, didnt bother going back more, were all highly updated i got one disliked in one comment that got 7 likes, you live in fantasy land.
Dude, please make your profile private as soon as possible, because it’s incredibly embarrassing to see you spamming the same reply to everybody : “stfu.”
That’s all you have to say?
Are you sure you’re not the donkey here?
Donkeys are adorable though. You’re more like a mosquito.
Don’t bother replying, I add you to my – very long – block list.
It’s survival horror?
Survival horrors are slow paced … and this footage is for the press
I don’t know what you’re expecting …. don’t compare with RE4 Remake as it was intentionally modified to include more enemies and the original RE4 was famous for starting the transitioning to action horror, which resulted in RE5 & 6
Hence for RE7 they moved back to survival horror … sort of
where you got that idea moron? Did you even play the first game? You basically got as much ammo as you want and as much health as you want, you shine a light on enemies and double tap with the revolver that is it. As far as i can remember the enemies were wave spawns, you couldnt run away from them, it was not some nonlinear hub map with locked doors and puzzles, why you got this idea this is gonna be like re4 is beyond me, you literally have no idea what game this is even thought they show it to you.
Do you want to discuss the first game or this game? Because you obviously haven’t looked at what is being proposed for this game. We’ll see for sure when it comes out, but the previews on this game and discussions with the developers indicate that they are fully aware of your critique of the original game. This game, SUPPOSEDLY, leans much more into proper survival horror. With limited resources and instances where you can be overwhelmed by a small number of enemies. It’s never wise to look at a “part 1” and presume you know all that needs to be known about an upcoming “part 2” that you haven’t even played yet.
TLDR: At least wait til the damn game comes out before crucifying it
in control they said they showed how the character automatically takes cover behind walls and there is no crouch button, they removed that and put a crouch but taking cover is a stupid idea as enemies spawn behind you, so i can only comment on what i am shown.
Hey incel … the devs specifically stated the game’s different from the first one and Alan Wake II is Remedy’s first survival horror game …
try keeping up
hey pedo, i dont care what the devs “said” what they actually did is more important and what they “showed” is even more important, do i need to explain this like you are 5 or did your parents drop you on your head so hard that you become retarded?
LOL and STALKER 2 is crucified for being the opposite.
yeah, but it has more to do with downgrading and looking generic unity/unreal engine instead of atmospheric like the old games.
Gameplay looks bland and generic like everything nuRemedy makes.
We also know it’s pozzed like everything nuRemedy makes.
That’s a skip for me.
Watching these dbags aiming with a controller is the cherry on top.
its a console game.
Too late. It’s Still woke.
Hopefully modders fix it
banned from nexus.
Nexus are bunch of simpletons, there are other places to put these mods
moddb is cucked too
Not them
They removed the spiderman mod
They can’t fix wokeness ingrained into the story
If it’s in the story, sure.
Well the game is call Alan Wake after all..so of course he’s woke.
No but for real, didn’t watch the video because I don’t want spoilers but curious what you thought was “woke” about this game? Isn’t it just a spin on that Steven King story that was made into that 2004 Johnny Depp movie Secret Window?
seems like nonwoke people are the biggest snowflakes constantly offended about something.
idk what even is nonwoke woke nonwoke woke. just seems like completely madeup label to project own problems to.
Woke how? You played the game already?
its a typical bait and switch they gonna replace alan wake with shiniqua woke.
Wait so people’s actual issue with things being “woke” is whenever a lead character isn’t white? Finally someone admits how racist they’re being with these complaints haha.
Now I have to agree there’s definitely recent instances where I feel like studios do this type of ambiguous ethnicity-type casting despite actual acting talent just to appease a wider audience, like those two horrible lead actors they put in the latest transformers movie..
Who is racist?
-the person who replaces white characters with non white characters. AKA a race swap
-People who point out that they do it on purpose.
Their is NO race swap. You can CHOOSE which character you want to play as. You play the whole with Alan OR saga or BOTH. The devs confirmed this. Their is nothing woke about this game. You just hate the fact that a black, female, or both is in the game. I don’t video games with nothing but white males.
new video comes out, “alan wake 2” click the video, black woman…why? THE NAME OF HTE GAME IS ALAN WAKE 2.
so having a black female character purely because she is black and female make it woke???
EXCUSE ME, why you think they put here in ALAN WAKE 2.
What is to be a woke game?
Eh I liked the country/forest based loc of AW1 and also the desert loc of American Nightmare. This just feels like a bit of RE3r or other evac’d city zombie-type creature game. And the voice actor sure is goofy looking compared to AW1 version, not the remake but original. I’m skeptical here it’s been so long, coming back to things so much later on usually doesn’t work out too well. Game’s likely going to be just another bad performing average horror game with some remedy tweaks. Pretty skeptical about Stalker 2 also. And no the technoworship and salesmanship for fancy junk from this site isn’t flying either.
Remedy are on top of their game when i comes to graphics.
It looks more like Resident Evil 2 and 3 remake than Alan Wake.
im the wokestestestest person and want to play this wokest of wokies game cause liked first one. Believe in my apricot religion cult which i subsconsciously subliminally put into everyones heads over and over till it manifest fully into collective conscious. Please dislike oranges because of that orange bitter skin.
The visuals of this game are nice, and the atmosphere is captivating. Wish it was not woke…
Boring and the shadows don’t feel threatening
I don’t find these games scary, but the first game has a good story.
