Alan Wake 2 cast: All voice actors and how you know them

Many characters punctuate the action during Alan Wake 2’s missions, lending an idiosyncratic and surreal believability to the fold.

Less believable were the Alan Wake 2 PC requirements which sent gamers into a frenzy, baulking at the high point-of-entry. Since the game has come to pass, however, things weren’t as desperate as they once seemed.

Not to entirely do away with controversy, Alan Wake 2 is all-digital, with the potential for a physical release all but certain.

No matter the drama, the game is proving to be a Game of the Year contender as can be deduced from our Alan Wake 2 reviews round-up.

Fortunately for the many fans of the Alan Wake Universe, there are upcoming DLCs on the way that further explore the many mysteries of Bright Falls.

If you were hoping to try Alan Wake 2 on the cheap, you might be wondering “Is Alan Wake 2 coming to Game Pass?”. Time will tell.

Speaking of time, we're taking it – so let’s crack on!
