Alan Wake 2 has been Remedy Entertainment’s most ambitious published game to date. It is a result of the expertise, hard work, and creativity of many talented developers across disciplines. This GDC, we have the opportunity to share some of that knowledge and experience with fellow game developers. You can look forward to eleven talks in programming, visual arts, audio design, and narrative.

Outside of our work on Alan Wake 2, we are holding a talk on our work with OpenUSD as part of our tech stack, Northlight. Find them at the bottom of the page!

See them all below!
