Wake, the horror writer remains trapped in an alternate reality he manifested from his writings. In the real world, an FBI agent named Saga Anderson starts to investigate ritualistic murders in Bright Falls (the setting of the first game) and slowly gets wrapped up in a similar nightmare as Alan Wake on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>The game features two playable protagonists, each navigating the horrors of their own realities. While the story kicks off with Anderson, Remedy has confirmed that after reaching a certain story junction, you will be able to choose between playing Wake and Anderson&#8217;s respective storylines in any order you want.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/G-koC40APV38KSk9sNGAR0yOxwJNVzgXU7Zp913JMHI\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9hbGFud2FrZTIvYWxhbndha2VkYXJrd29ybGQuanBn\" alt=\"alan wake 2 setting\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Alan Wake 2 takes place in two different realities. (Picture: Remedy Entertainment)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1h2avcesm9\">Alan Wake 2 Setting<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned previously, Alan Wake 2 takes place in two different realities. Saga Anderson&#8217;s story takes place in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, featuring fictionalized locations like Bright Falls, the woods surrounding Cauldron Lake, and the town of Watery. Alan Wake&#8217;s story takes place in the nightmarish alternate reality called Dark Place, which&#8217;s loosely based on the streets of New York City. Since Alan Wake 2 is part of RCU (Remedy Connected Universe), expect to see some familiar places (and faces, but more on that later), for instance, the Oceanview Hotel from Control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"rsp-embed-container\" contenteditable=\"false\">\n<div style=\"left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.5%;\"><iframe style=\"border: 0px; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HwdrTLAGhpU?feature=oembed\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HwdrTLAGhpU?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/HwdrTLAGhpU\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1h2avcesma\">Alan Wake 2 Gameplay<\/h2>\n<p>Like the original, Alan Wake 2 plays from a third-person perspective with gunplay being the primary way to fend off enemies. Both Anderson and Wake also seem to carry a flashlight, which, like the original, should be useful against shadowy monsters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the prominent gameplay mechanics from that first game saw Alan Wake using light as a powerful weapon in dispelling enemies who were consumed by darkness. From flare guns, flashlights to the reading lamp, light weapons were proven to be more important than traditional weapons such as handguns, shotguns and knives. This was confirmed in the first teaser trailer where we saw the titular character clutching the lamp whilst standing in the rain.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/3UCaxNM3BtZnf-qmUpRFMZJpbuoCmxFCRmfxcsi0JD8\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9hbGFud2FrZTIvQWxhbldha2UyX0RFVF80S18wNzQtc2NhbGVkLndlYnA\" alt=\"alan wake 2\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Alan Wake 2 plays from a third-person perspective.
