Remedy Entertainment's ambition: To become Europe's answer to Naughty Dog. Inspired by Naughty Dog's cinematic masterpieces, particularly the Uncharted series, Remedy aims for similar heights, as Alan Wake 2 director Kyle Rowley revealed in a Behind The Voice podcast interview. Rowley explicitly stated their aspiration to be "the European version of Naughty Dog."

This influence is clearly visible in Alan Wake 2's cinematic presentation, lauded for its stunning visuals and gripping narrative. The game's success has firmly established Remedy's place as a leading European game studio. Their ambitions extend beyond the horror genre, mirroring Naughty Dog's mastery of single-player cinematic experiences. Titles like Uncharted and The Last of Us, particularly the latter's award-winning legacy, serve as benchmarks.

Continuing to evolve, Alan Wake 2 receives ongoing updates, even over a year post-launch. Recent enhancements include a significant optimization for the PS5 Pro. A new "Balanced" graphics option cleverly combines the strengths of the PS5 Pro Performance and Quality modes.

These updates also refine the graphical settings, aiming for a smoother framerate and reduced visual noise. In addition to the PS5 Pro enhancements, minor bug fixes address gameplay issues, particularly within the Lake House expansion.
