Difficulty levels in Alan Wake 2
Alan Wake 2 will debut with three difficulty levels
- Story - a variant for those interested mainly in the story. Combat will not be a challenge, and players will be able to focus on exploration and discovering the secrets of the plot.
- Normal - is meant to offer a balance between story and gameplay. Battles will be challenging, and survival is expected to require the use of found items and good inventory management.
- Hard - a difficulty level designed for those looking for a real challenge. Combat is expected to be very demanding, and succeeding is expected to require not only very efficient use of equipment, but also deep knowledge of gameplay mechanics.
On top of that, the aforementioned Nightmare mode will be added some time after the release. However, we do not know for now what it will offer.
Alan Wake 2 will launch on October 27 this year. The game will be released simultaneously on PC and PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles.
