Alan Wake 2 will have three different difficulty settings, developer Remedy has announced, allowing players to experience the game at whatever level of challenge they want.

　　These settings include Story, Normal, and Hard, and you can see the full descriptions for each below. In Story difficulty, combat should be easy so that players can focus on exploring the world and solving its many mysteries. The Normal setting will offer "challenging" combat but should overall feel like a balance between survival and mystery-solving, Remedy said.
