Alan Wake 2: Winner of Time magazine's Game of the Year award; Game of the Year from the Washington Post; Best Game Direction, Best Art Direction, and Best Narrative from The Game Awards; and Critics' Choice Award from the Golden Joystick Awards.

A series of ritualistic murders threatens Bright Falls, a small-town community surrounded by the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Saga Anderson, a talented FBI agent known for solving impossible cases, arrives to investigate the murders. Anderson's case turns into a nightmare when she discovers pages of a horror story that starts coming true around her.

Alan Wake, a lost writer trapped in a nightmare beyond our world, writes a dark story in an attempt to shape the reality around him and escape his confinement. Pursued by a shadowy horror, Wake struggles to maintain his sanity and defeat the devil in his own game.

Anderson and Wake are two heroes on two desperate journeys and two separate realities, connected at the heart in ways even they cannot understand, reflecting one another, echoing one another, and affecting the world around them both.

Fueled by the horror story, supernatural darkness invades Bright Falls, corrupting the residents and threatening the loved ones of Anderson and Wake. The light is their weapon — and their refuge — against the darkness they face. Trapped in a sinister horror story where there are only victims and monsters, can they become the heroes they need to be?
