Alan Wake 2 Confirms Epic Games Store Exclusivity

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney shuts down Steam hopes for Alan Wake 2. A Reddit user's inquiry regarding a Steam release for Remedy's Alan Wake 2 received a blunt response from Sweeney: it won't be happening. The brief reply offered no further explanation.

This news is particularly noteworthy given Epic Games' unique involvement with Alan Wake 2. Not only did they publish the game, but they also co-financed its development with Remedy. While Remedy has expressed satisfaction with the game's sales and their collaboration with Epic, they've also stated future titles will be self-published, opening the door for Steam releases. Interestingly, the game has yet to turn a profit over a year after its launch.
