What Time Does Alan Wake 2 Release?

Alan Wake 2 will be released on Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. PT, as well as on Oct 27 at the following times:

  • 12 a.m. ET
  • 5 a.m. BST
  • 1 a.m. BRT
  • 6 a.m. CEST
  • 7 a.m. EEST
  • 1 p.m. JST
  • 3 p.m. AEST
  • 5 p.m. NZDT

The release times were officially confirmed by Alan Wake 2’s developer, Remedy Entertainment, as they gear up for the game’s launch.

The story will continue the journey of Alan Wake, a famous writer who went missing in 2010. However, instead of solely controlling Alan, you’ll also take on the role of Saga Anderson, an FBI profiler who seeks to unravel the mystery surrounding a murder investigation. If you are a newcomer to the series, you won’t have to worry too much about being caught up on the past storyline, as the sequel is more in line with a stand-alone experience.

Those who wish to pre-order Alan Wake 2 can only do so digitally, as there are no plans to release physical copies. It is available through most online stores for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and through the Epic Games Store for PC users.

When Can You Pre-Load the Game?

Pre-loads are now available for Alan Wake 2, with a recommended space availability of 85GB. To be more specific, here are the expected download/install sizes for each console:

  • PS5: 85GB
  • Xbox Series: 82GB
  • PC: 86GB

Pre-order bonuses can also be acquired if you want to get your hands on some exclusive content, such as an Ornate Revolver Skin for Alan, Survival Resources Pack for Saga, and an Oh Deer Diner Sara for Saga. Aside from these features, the Deluxe edition features an expansion pass and even more fashionable cosmetics for the two playable characters.

A NewGame+ mode will be available sometime after launch, including all unlocked weapons and upgrades, the new Nightmare difficulty level, and alternate narratives.
