Alan Wake has to escape from The Dark Place in Alan Wake 2.

Remedy will launch Alan Wake 2: The Original Soundtrack

Remedy Entertainment, Epic Games and Laced Records have unveiled the Alan Wake 2: The Original Soundtrack, coming on May 14.

This release not only commemorates the legacy of Alan Wake, the game that carved its niche within the horror genre, but also enhances the narrative depth of its long-awaited sequel. I did a fireside chat with the composer of the Alan Wake 2 original score, Petri Alanko, who also did the score for the original Alan Wake game 13 years ago. We spoke at the recent Reboot game conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
