Remedy to Add New Game Plus Mode with Nightmare Difficulty to Alan Wake 2
Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment has revealed exciting news for fans eagerly awaiting the release of Alan Wake 2. After the game’s launch, players can look forward to a highly anticipated New Game Plus mode with an added Nightmare difficulty level, promising an exhilarating and incredibly challenging gaming experience.
In this new mode, players will have the opportunity to retain all the previously unlocked weapons and upgrades from their previous playthrough. This means that players can start a fresh game with their arsenal intact, ready to take on the nightmarish creatures that inhabit the dark, atmospheric world of Alan Wake.
What’s even more exciting is that the alternative narrative in New Game Plus will feature new Manuscript pages and video content. The speculation surrounding this new narrative suggests that Alan Wake may be helping Saga Anderson, with their roles reversed, adding a fresh twist to the storyline that fans are eager to explore.
While the release date for the New Game Plus mode has not yet been announced, Remedy has shared details on the three difficulty levels available in the game. The first level, Story mode, focuses on solving mysteries and exploring environments, with combat posing little to no challenge. On the other hand, Normal mode strikes a balance between combat and puzzling, offering challenging combat scenarios and resource management.
For players seeking an even greater test of their skills, Hard mode offers significantly challenging combat, requiring a deep understanding of the game’s mechanics for survival. This mode is perfect for those looking for a true adrenaline rush and a relentless onslaught of enemies.
In a surprising and appreciated move, Remedy has collaborated with popular battle royale game Fortnite to release a free playable 20-minute recap episode of the first Alan Wake game. This partnership enables players to refresh their memory of the original game’s story before diving into the sequel. The inclusion of this recap episode in Fortnite has received praise from players as it allows them to fully immerse themselves in the Alan Wake universe.
As the release of Alan Wake 2 draws nearer, fans can’t contain their excitement for the New Game Plus mode, Nightmare difficulty, and the tantalizing prospect of an alternative narrative. Stay tuned for further updates on the game’s release date and prepare to embark on a thrilling journey into darkness with Alan Wake.
