At the current time of writing, Alan Wake 2 does not have a New Game Plus function.

When is Alan Wake 2 getting New Game Plus mode?

Remedy Entertainment told us that Alan Wake 2’s New Game Plus mode will launch “about a month after release.”

We know that Alan Wake 2 debuted on Oct. 27, so in theory, we should expect to see New Game Plus added anytime between now and Nov. 27.

As always, plans for new content are always subject to change.
