It’s been several months since Remedy’s Alan Wake 2 arrived on various platforms. The game’s success has been credited to multiple aspects that made it such a powerful title. From its art direction to visual design, the game has got a lot of things right.
On that note, Remedy has announced that fans will soon be able to play and listen to the game’s OST. After all, its soundtrack has stayed in the hearts of thousands of players even after finishing the campaign.
Here’s How to Celebrate the Launch of Alan Wake 2’s OST
Going hand in hand with Alan Wake’s 14th anniversary, the OST will be available on the studio’s official YouTube channel.
The soundtrack becomes available on May 14, 4pm EEST (9 am EDT). It’s likely that the OST will also arrive on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music sooner or later.
Remedy has also worded how the team is celebrating the launch of the game’s OST. The soundtrack reflects the game’s deeply psychological themes and identity:
The much-anticipated soundtrack of Alan Wake 2 mirrors the original’s captivating essence yet carves out its own identity.
Available across major music services like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, this collection is a masterpiece from Petri Alanko, the composer behind the original score.
Petri Alanko managed to add magic to his music thanks to the game’s deft writing and tremendous themes. The team has made sure that the game’s visual and auditory journey stays in sync and this is quite evident through the different tracks that play throughout the campaign.
How Remedy’s Petri Alanko Composed the OST
Fans of the game are well aware of how dark and deep its themes can be. To reflect this, Petri Alanko had to carefully craft an auditory journey that could align with the game’s psychological thriller sub-genre.
Remedy revealed how the OST brings this to light (and darkness):
Having spent a good part of the last decade – and a few years more – with Alan Wake and his two worlds, the outcome of the soundtrack is about as coherent and on spot as can be from my point of view: this is how I want you to feel it.
There are 35 different tracks in the game, all of which will become available once Remedy launches the OST officially. It’ll be fascinating to see how different artists will soon do their own covers of the same, adding to the game’s diverse and talented community.
