After a long 13 years, Alan Wake‘s sequel has finally dropped. The wait is definitely worth it, as Alan Wake 2 is a lengthy, unusual experience.
Things aren’t as straightforward as most games, as two narratives exist in two realities that you can switch between. If you’re trying to plan your Alan Wake 2 playthrough, this guide will help you out by explaining the game’s length and outlining the chapters.
How long is Alan Wake 2?
It will take you around 20-25 hours to complete the game if you’re just working through the main story. If you’re intent on grabbing all the collectibles and seeing all the content, you’re looking at spending at least 30 hours. You can cut down your playtime by playing on story mode, or you can crank it up to hard mode if you want your playthrough to last a little longer.
All Alan Wake 2 Chapters
In Alan Wake 2, you can switch between Saga and Alan. However, you only gain this ability after a few hours of playing. First, you’ll have to complete the following chapters:
- Return 0: The Cult
- Return 1: Invitation (Saga)
- Return 2: The Heart (Saga)
- Initiation 1: Talk Show (Alan)
- Initiation 2: Casey (Alan)
- Initiation 3: Haunting (Alan)
After you’ve completed Haunting, you’ll progress through Saga and Alan’s storylines separately. These are Alan’s chapters:
- Initiation 4: We Sing
- Initiation 5: Room 665
- Initiation 6: Return
- Initiation 7: Masks
- Initiation 8: Zane’s Film
- Initiation 9: Gone
Saga’s chapters are as follows:
- Return 3: Local Girl
- Return 4: No Chance
- Return 5: Old Gods
- Return 6: Scratch
- Return 7: Summoning
- Return 8: Deerfest
- Return 9: Come Home
Eccentric games like Alan Wake 2 don’t come often, so enjoy it. You’ll get to experience more of Remedy’s weird universe next year, as there is DLC planned.
