Alan Wake 2 is just the latest in this year’s list of survival horror games that are getting all the buzz. Thanks to the numerous survival horror games that launched earlier, it looks like fans are living in quite an emphatic year of having games in this particular genre. Fans are getting plenty of updates on this game too, and the latest one would tell them how they should play the game!

As fans await the launch of Alan Wake 2, a sequel to one of Remedy Entertainment’s darkest games, the developer has decided to update fans on the game’s difficulty. It appears some difficulty modes might not be for everyone!

Remedy Entertainment details the three difficulty modes for Alan Wake 2

Difficulty settings are a big deal for some gamers in survival horror games. Some always want to play their games on higher difficulty for those trophies and bragging rights, while others just want to have a breezy story mode and experience all the scary moments without the fear of succumbing and hitting a difficult wall and not being able to continue playing. It looks like Alan Wake 2 offers each type of gamer something to try out.

Remedy Entertainment’s upcoming horror game is set to feature three difficulty modes. Each would give a different kind of gamer something to choose from and enjoy.

Story

As the name here suggests, this mode would allow gamers to enjoy the story of this game. Just go through the game and enjoy some scares without worrying about being overwhelmed.

Balanced

Solving the mystery of Alan Wake 2 would now be mixed with challenging survival combat mechanics that would be nothing to scoff at. As with every survival horror game, the items would be in limited supply here.

Hard

Combat in this mode would be significantly more challenging. And supplies would be in very short supply. Players can expect to be very familiar with this game’s mechanics if they hope to complete the game in this mode.

It’s a matter of preference and time that one is willing to spend on this game. Time is always a deciding factor in the choice of difficulty for most players. But as mentioned above, Remedy has a little bit of everything for all kinds of players.

The developers are also hard at work on a new game+ mode.

Besides the well-detailed difficulty modes, it looks like there’s much more that Remedy Entertainment is working on. They have announced that the New Game+ mode for Alan Wake 2 will launch sometime after the game’s official launch. It will have all the bells and whistles of your normal NG+.

Players would get to keep all their weapons and upgrades, a new Nightmare Difficulty would be unleashed on players, and a new alternative narrative would be introduced, paired with new manuscript pages as well as video content.

While the developer does not have a timeline for this update, there are chances they are already working on it, given the comprehensive list of these features. Let’s see when this new mode makes it to gamers.
