Remedy Entertainment has revealed updated sales data for Alan Wake 2<\/a>, which has now exceeded 3 million copies.<\/p>\n

The developer-publisher shared the news in its half-year financial report covering January to June<\/a>, where it announced the investigative horror shooter reached the 3 million sales milestone during the second quarter of the year.<\/p>\n

The last time Remedy offered an Alan Wake 2 sales update was in February last year, when the company announced it had passed 2 million copies sold and started turning a profit<\/a>. One year before that, it revealed the game had almost recouped most of its development and marketing budget<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite being hailed as Remedy’s fastest-selling game, Alan Wake 2 only managed to sell a million copies at launch<\/a>, taking years to recoup its development costs and still longer to become profitable. The Epic Games-funded project remains exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC, and many argue its absence from Steam has hurt its sales potential.<\/p>\n

Positive as the Alan Wake 2 news may be, the financial report shows declines almost across the board for Remedy. Revenue, profit, and cashflow have all fallen. The company said that is expected, as it was a period of spending on the development and marketing of Control Resonant, not to mention continued funding of its other projects.<\/p>\n

Remedy currently has three projects in various stages of development. Control Resonant is nearing the end of its development, the Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes remain in full production<\/a>, while a mysterious third unannounced project is in the “production readiness” stage.<\/p>\n

Control Resonant is, unsurprisingly, the developer’s main focus at the moment. The stylised action game is set for release 24th September on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S. The company also revealed anticipation for Control Resonant has boosted sales of the original game over the second quarter, beating its record for the same period the previous year.<\/p>\n

Remedy’s new CEO, who took on the role in February, recently said he believes Alan Wake and Control “should have sold more”<\/a>, and that the studio “hasn’t achieved half of the potential in terms of the products that we make”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Remedy Entertainment has revealed updated sales data for Alan Wake 2, which has now exceeded 3 million copies.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":734666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-734665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=734665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=734665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=734665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=734665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
