Remedy Targets 'Europe's Naughty Dog' Title With Alan Wake 2

Remedy Entertainment's ambition: To become Europe's answer to Naughty Dog. Inspired by Naughty Dog's cinematic masterpieces like the Uncharted series, Remedy Entertainment, spearheaded by Alan Wake 2 director Kyle Rowley, aims for similar heights. Rowley, in a Behind The Voice podcast interview, revealed this aspiration, highlighting how this influence shaped both Quantum Break and Alan Wake 2.

Alan Wake 2's cinematic presentation, lauded for its stunning visuals and gripping narrative, directly reflects this inspiration. The game's success has cemented Remedy's status as a leading European game studio. Their aspirations extend beyond the horror genre, mirroring Naughty Dog's mastery of single-player cinematic experiences, a legacy defined by Uncharted and the critically acclaimed, award-winning The Last of Us franchise.

Continuing to evolve, Alan Wake 2 receives ongoing updates, even over a year post-launch. These enhancements optimize gameplay across all platforms, notably introducing a "Balanced" graphics option for the PS5 Pro, skillfully blending the Performance and Quality modes. Minor graphical tweaks ensure a smoother framerate and reduced visual noise. This update also addresses minor gameplay-affecting bugs, particularly within the Lake House expansion.
