We don’t want to take the team away from that focus, so we’re going to keep going and making a great game experience, and unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for a demo and trailer.“There’s not much known about Alan Wake 2 at this stage, other than what is mentioned in the quote above: Alan Wake 2 will be a survival horror game, as distinct from the first which had an action focus.
