Sam Lake, speaking to PCGamesN ahead of the Alan Wake 2 release date, explained why the long-awaited detective game couldn’t have been developed sooner during a Gamescom interview. He went on to say that Alan Wake 2 is a tribute to Remedy’s own creative heritage. Therefore, there is a lot of ground for this game to cover. Traditionally, all Remedy games have focused on a short storyline game. Most of the games developed by Remedy usually took around 10 hours of game time to complete.

However, the 20-hour or so timeline may not be accurate to the clock when a player plays the game. It’s important to know that there are three Alan Wake 2 difficulty modes accessible at launch. The Nightmare mode will be arriving later.
Some players claim to have completed the game with nearly every collectible in roughly 30 hours on Normal. On Hard, the game would take substantially longer, making opponent confrontations far more difficult and resources even more restricted.
The Story difficulty option, on the other hand, ensured that opponents were dispatched in one or two shots. It considerably lowered the amount of time it took to be nipped at by wolves in the woodlands surrounding Cauldron Lake or shadow creatures chasing players in the Dark Place.
