Alan Wake 2 rammer to millioner solgte eksemplarer og er nu endgyldigt profitabelt for Remedy

Det er blevet sagt mange gange før, men det har været tydeligt i lang, lang tid, at Remedy-spil har det med at sælge mindre end tilsvarende AAA-produktioner lige omkring lanceringer, men grundet positiv omtale og vedholdende interesse har de så også lange "haler".

Studiet har været åbent omkring det faktum at spillet ikke solgte nok omkring lanceringen til at begynde at generere royalties for studiet, men de har hele tiden kommunikeret at det ville ske hen af vejen.

Og nu er det altså sket. I deres seneste finansrapport afslører CEO Tero Virtala, at Alan Wake 2 nu har solgt over to millioner eksemplarer, og officielt genererer royalties for studiet.

"In the fourth quarter of 2024, revenue increased 13.1% from a year ago to EUR 11.7 million. Development fees increased, driven by higher development fees from Max Payne 1&2 Remake and Control 2. Royalties decreased from the comparison period and consisted mainly of game sales of Control, older Alan Wake titles and Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake 2 sales exceeded two million units during the quarter. By the end of 2024, Alan Wake 2 had recouped its development fees and marketing investments, meaning that Remedy started to accrue royalties towards the end of the quarter. In the fourth quarter, the operating profit was EUR -1.4 million, improving by EUR 11.4 million from the comparison period, in which we had a EUR 7.2 million impairment loss from codename Vanguard."

I det hele taget er studiets omsætning steget med over 13%, og det forventes at de inden længe kan lancere Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake.
