Alan Wake 2 Has Finally Recouped Most Of Its Budget
In the time since its launch, Alan Wake 2 received two DLC expansions in the form of The Lake House and Night Springs. And despite originally being released as a digital-only title, the game received a physical edition, too.
However, as well-received as Alan Wake 2 was, Remedy struggled to recoup its budget for the title. In August, a financial report noted how the game was still working to get back the original development and marketing costs. Flash forward to today, and Remedy has good news.
As part of its January-September 2024 business review, which was released on Friday, Remedy noted that it ”had recouped most of its development and marketing expenses.”
It's important to note that The Lake House expansion, Alan Wake 2's final DLC, as well as the physical edition both launched a little over a week ago, on Oct. 22. It's entirely possible that the game has shifted into profitability territory off the back of those major developments.
Per that same financial report, the next step after recouping development and marketing expenses will be to earn royalties off the game. In this period, Remedy revealed that its royalties were down, with Control and the original Alan Wake making up the bulk of sales. However, now that the game is basically at an even keel, then Remedy will begin to claim that royalty and put it towards their future endeavors.
Either way, it's good news for Remedy, particularly as it seeks to expand its gaming universe. A lack of profitability would no doubt impact those plans, but that appears to no longer be the case for Alan Wake 2.
