Speaking during an interview with IGN, Remedy‘s Sam Lake promised that the recently-announced Alan Wake 2 is set to deliver plenty of scares, and as such the studio is aiming squarely for a Mature rating.
Lake made it clear that the psychological thriller sequel isn’t going to be scary just for the sake of it, noting that it will mesh with the overall gameplay.
For anything to do with Alan Wake the story is very central — this horror story. Let’s do Remedy’s take on a survival horror game and focus on story… the horror story is this psychological, layered, deep mystery to dive into. And yes, it’s going to be scary. But it just works really really well with the gameplay.
