The game features two playable characters, Saga Anderson and Alan Wake, with a “50/50 split” between their perspectives. Players will be able to switch between them at certain points in the story, unraveling the mysteries surrounding Bright Falls.
Saga’s story revolves around a murder investigation in Bright Falls, with FBI agent Anderson assisting the small-town community. As she delves deeper into the case, she discovers pages from a horror story that starts coming to life around her, leading her to the events of the original Alan Wake game.
While Alan Wake 2 is a sequel, it is designed to be a standalone experience, introducing Saga Anderson as a new protagonist for players to get to know.
