Alan Wake 2 announced for 2023

Remedy Entertainment has announced that Alan Wake 2 will arrive sometime in 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.

The announcement comes a couple months after Alan Wake was remastered and released across multiple platforms. Sam Lake, the game’s Creative Director, said, “Alan Wake 2 is our big fish. We are diving deeper than ever, into an ocean of darkness. Whereas the first Alan Wake had horror elements in it, it was an action game. Alan Wake 2 is Remedy’s first survival horror game. Our take on the genre. Our opportunity to truly connect the gameplay and the story. It is a deep, layered mystery.”

Among Us VR announced

Among Us is getting the VR treatment, with the game set for release on PlayStation VR, Meta Quest 2, and Steam. No release date has been confirmed.

Among Us VR is a stand-alone version of the game, but is set to play like the original, with players attempting to complete tasks and figure out who among them is the impostor, but from a first-person perspective.

Developer Innersloth had the following to say about the new project: “This new 3D experience will place you and our suspicious spacebeans in the heart of the Skeld, with all the core mechanics of teamwork and betrayal you know and love. The VR edition will continue to support the multiplayer experience too, of course! Now you can really have an emergency meeting together.”
