Remedy plans to add New Game+ options to Alan Wake 2. The options are expected to be added in an update sometime after the game’s launch on October 27, 2023, though an exact date was not specified.
The update would give options to restart the game after completion, such as retaining weapons and upgrades earned during your first playthrough. The Nightmare difficulty level will presumably be a harder mode intended for players who crave a challenge, while additional collectables and video content will give story-focused players new things to hunt for.
It appears Remedy has significant plans to support Alan Wake 2 beyond release, including free DLC packs as confirmed by one of the game’s directors at EGX.
Remedy Entertainment recently shared new trailer footage for Alan Wake 2 at an Xbox Partner Preview event, as well as a recap of the first game’s plot. Fortnite also hosted its own recap, as well adding Alan Wake skins to the game’s online store.
Alan Wake 2 is set to launch on October 27, 2023 for PC, Xbox Series X, and PS5, with New Game+ options set to be added in a post-launch update. There is currently no exact date for this addition.
