Nearly half a year after its release, Finnish developer Remedy’s Alan Wake series has achieved an impressive 4.5 million in sales.
The news was announced by Remedy’s CEO, Matias Myllyrinne, via Twitter, in which he wrote” Happy on behalf of the team: Alan Wake franchise is past 4.5m units.”
The figure includes sales from both the original Alan Wake and its non-canon spin-off, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare .
Released exclusively for the Xbox 360 on May 2010 and later on the PC on February 2012, Alan Wake was highly praised for its atmospheric Stephen King-like premise and satisfying gameplay, which made creative use of light and darkness.
