Some fresh news about Alan Wake 2 to share with you this weekend. Remedy Entertainment and Epic Games released a new gameplay video for the upcoming psychological thriller.

The new gameplay footage is from an early mission of the game called The Heart. You get a look at Saga Anderson, an FBI agent with a reputation for solving impossible cases. They arrive to investigate a murder in the small town of Bright Falls. Remedy says that Anderson's case "spirals into a nightmare when she discovers pages of a horror story that starts to come true and questions how it may be connected to missing writer Alan Wake."

Agent Anderson is played by Melanie Liburd. Liburd has starred in and had roles in This is Us, Bad Boys 4, and Game of Thrones.

Alan Wake 2 pushes players into a psychological horror story from the perspective of two playable characters. Saga Anderson risks her life to solve a deadly mystery of murders in the Pacific Northwest while Alan Wake attempts to rewrite his reality to escape the depths of the Dark Place, a nightmare version of New York City.

Taking full advantage of the power of current consoles and PC, and driven by Remedy Entertainment’s proprietary Northlight engine, players will take on powerful supernatural enemies in desperate situations filled with intense suspense and unexpected twists. Anderson and Wake are two heroes on two desperate journeys in two separate realities, connected at heart in ways neither of them can understand.​
Other notable Alan Wake news was shared this weekend. Alan Wake 2: Building a World of Fear will be presented during the Tribeca Games Festival in New York City on June 13 at 8PM. This special event will pair Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass) with Remedy's Sam Lake. The two will talk about Alan Wake 2 and take a deep dive "into the influences of the upcoming game and explore what drives fear in interactive storytelling."
