Remedy has confirmed that Alan Wake 2 has recouped "most" of its development and marketing costs around a year after it launched. The Finnish studio shared the news in its fiscal report for the third quarter ended September 2024 (Q3).

The company saw revenue increase by 128.6 percent to €17.9 million ($19.4 million) during Q3. Operating profit rose to €2.4 million ($2.6 million) over the same period, an upswing on the €5.5 million loss reported by Remedy this time last year.

"At the end of the quarter, Alan Wake 2 had recouped most of its development and marketing expenses. After the end of the quarter, the second expansion of Alan Wake 2, The Lake House, was released on October 22 alongside the Physical Deluxe Edition of the game. FBC: Firebreak, previously codename Condor, continues in full production with a focus on iterating on the core loop and implementing more of the UI (user interface) for more player clarity based on playtesting feedback."

Control didn't make a profit until a year or two and that was with a physical release

I will never understand this obsession, which I see in the comments here, of not buying a game because it's on one digital shop or another. It makes no difference when playing the game if you buy it on steam or epic or whatever.

The first DLC was not big enough to motivate consumer on buying the season pass.
