There’s a buzz in the gaming community as a possible October release for Alan Wake 2 is suggested. Matthew Porretta, who lends his voice and character to the titular Alan Wake, dropped this tantalizing piece of news during his recent appearance on the Monsters, Madness, and Magic YouTube channel.
Porretta’s revelation comes about 16 minutes and 50 seconds into the show, where he casually mentions that Alan Wake 2 is “supposed to come out in October.”
Given his close association with the project, it’s hard not to take his words at face value. Although it seems the actor might not have been authorized to disclose this information, his revelation has undoubtedly excited fans of the franchise.
As it stands, Remedy Entertainment, the game’s developer, has yet to confirm or deny Porretta’s claims. They have been maintaining a tight-lipped silence about the specific release date for Alan Wake 2. Nevertheless, Porretta’s insider position within the production makes his comment a promising lead to follow.
A Decade of Alan Wake and the Story of Porretta’s Casting
The actor also brought up the 10th anniversary of the original Alan Wake during the show, a reminder that certainly adds a nostalgic touch to the looming sequel’s release. Porretta went on to share the intriguing story of how he landed the lead role.
Apparently, he auditioned for Alan Wake, then promptly forgot about it. Six months later, his agent surprised him with the news of his casting. When Porretta asked about his character, his agent casually informed him that he would be playing the main role, leaving Porretta pleasantly stunned.
The Final Stages of Development: Gearing up for a Grand Release
Just last month, Remedy Entertainment announced that Alan Wake 2 was in its “final stages” of production. If Porretta’s revelation holds true, it looks like the gaming world is set to witness the launch of what could be the developer’s most significant game ever, this fall. The countdown to October has begun, stirring anticipation among Alan Wake fans worldwide.
