Alan Wake’s North American month one sales of 145,000 copies is not a particularly strong start for a long-awaited triple-A release. Regardless, developer Remedy believes the game to have long legs and benefit from what head of franchise development Oskari Häkkinen says is “very apparent” word of mouth. “This breath of fresh air for gamers seems to now be working to our advantage, as those that have already enjoyed Wake are clearly inspired to talk more about the game and tell their fellow gamers to try it also,” Häkkinen tells VG247.
