Remedy: Epic-backed Alan Wake 2 deal was fair, despite Larian critique
TL;DR Summary
Remedy defended its publishing deal with Epic Games for Alan Wake 2, calling the agreement fair after Larian’s Michael Douse criticized Epic’s deals; Remedy notes Epic funded development and that Alan Wake 2 recouped costs in 2025, with revenue split back to Remedy once recoupment finished. The game remains an Epic Games Store exclusive, and Remedy stresses there would be no Alan Wake 2 without Epic, with upcoming titles like Control Resonant and the Max Payne remakes in the works.
