Alan Wake 2 will feature body horror, but no dismemberment because the game engine can't handle it
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The horror game from Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment is announced for personal computers, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles
Remedy studio visual effects lead Johannes Richter explained in an interview with PLAY Magazine that Alan Wake 2 will rely more on atmosphere and the player's subconscious fears to terrify them, rather than showing someone being torn to shreds.
“Alan Wake 2 will feature body horror elements, but the project is much more focused on a chilling atmosphere and [the player's] fears,” Richter says.
Richter explained the absence of dismemberment in Alan Wake 2 by noting that the Northlight engine powering the game does not handle such effects well.
Alan Wake 2 is scheduled to release on October 17 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
