PlayStation [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/playstation/] has come bearing gifts with the onset of the PS Showcase 2023, and fans could not be more excited. As one of the most desired games for a while, Assassin’s Creed Mirage was also revealed [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-playstation-showcase-2023-fans-excitement-soars-as-assassins-creed-mirage-is-unveiled-showcasing-stunning-gameplay-on-the-center-stage/] at the event. But a game that caught the eyes of the fans of horror titles was Alan Wake II. When the first title of the Alan Wake series came out in 2010, it had to go against the heavyweight Red Dead Redemption. However, against all odds, the game stood firm and now has gained a significant cult following. The success of the game spawned titles like Control and Quantum Break. Now, after thirteen years, the sequel of the Alan Wake series is finally here. ALAN WAKE II TO BE A DIGITAL-ONLY GAME As shown on the official game site [https://www.alanwake.com/story/alan-wake-2-faq/], Remedy Entertainment is still pushing the game to be a digital-only title. Furthermore, they have given three reasons for their decision. Firstly, they cited the increase in digital-only consoles for this. The PlayStation 5 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/playstation-5/] and Xbox Series X/S [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/xbox-series-x-s/] both have digital variants present in the market. Alan Wake II [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Alan-Wake-II.jpg] The second reason was from the price point of view. Keeping the game digital-only has enabled them to keep the price low. Giving their final reason, the studio said, “We did not want to ship a disc product and have it require a download for the game — we do not think this would make for a great experience either.” Getting Chills Down His Spine! [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-horror-game-the-outlast-trials-has-call-of-duty-pro-jev-screaming-after-getting-chills-down-his-spine/] Besides, the company has put its heart and soul into its development. And it is visible with the exclusive DLC being offered at launch. THE STUDIO IS GOING TO RELEASE AN EXCLUSIVE DLC FOR FANS OF THE HORROR GAME There will be two versions of the game released alongside. A base game for $49.99 for PC and $59.99 on consoles. There will also be a Deluxe edition of the game for $69.99 on PC and $79.99 on consoles. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/alan-wake-1.jpg] The Deluxe edition includes the Alan Wake II digital base game and the following exclusive content: * Expansion Pass (Night Springs Expansion and Lake House Expansion) * Nordic Shotgun Skin for Saga (Part of the Expansion Pass) * Parliament Shotgun Skin for Alan Wake * Crimson Windbreaker for Saga Anderson * Celebrity Suit for Alan Wake * Lantern Charm for Saga Anderson What are your thoughts on the upcoming psychological horror game from Remedy Entertainment?
