There is some controversy over how relevant these are.
As the game is unreleased, there will be no reviews as of yet, so the articles will be based on the marketing materials and they will all be primary sources. That makes me feel like the number should be the default unless confirmed otherwise. This seems like another "logo uses the Roman numeral for stylistic effect", like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Support Literally all the marketing and articles about the game use the number. Wait until after release, and meantime the redirect is fine. The situation with an unreleased game is dynamic and unpredictable. Note: WikiProject Video games has been notified of this discussion. #ALAN WAKE 2 WIKI PLUS#
Plus it's technically correct, as with the two Metal Gear Solid V titles, which are often referred to using numbers rather than numerals but haven't been changed because of that. But once we see development and review information, that will be a better judgement call. At this early stage, with little information out there, we should be giving weight to how it appears. It would be better to assess the state of this closer/shortly after the game's release to see if there is more standardization on the arabic or roman numerals.

Support - A quick google search shows that Alan Wake 2 is the common name and should be the article title. OceanHok ( talk) 19:38, 11 December 2021 (UTC) (I have repurposed this section with the requested move template) OceanHok ( talk) 05:44, 12 December 2021 (UTC) The store page from Epic also used "2" as well. The game's official website seems to use "2" rather than "II". M asem ( t) 19:11, 11 December 2021 (UTC) I think Allistayrian have a point. ASUKITE 20:56, 19 December 2021 (UTC) The title card in the promo clearly showed "II", and the difference between numerical and roman numbers is not simply a stylization (eg Final Fantasy VII). Allistayrian ( talk) 10:22, 11 December 2021 (UTC) - Relisting. Epic Games Store, IGN, GameSpot, Polygon, among others, refer the game as Alan Wake 2 rather than Alan Wake II. The title of this article should be changed to " Alan Wake 2" as the Roman number is only stylised same situation with Red Dead Redemption 2.

Normally this would be a relist, but as closers we are told to not relist a second time unless there is reason to believe a more full consensus could be easily established based on the current circumstances. I'm leaving the door open for re-litigating this if/when we have more secondary sourcing. We have extremely limited secondary sourcing here, which makes any further claims tenuous at best, and such arguments appear to not be very persuasive to the participants responding here. Before we have more RSes to go off of, these arguments are largely based on primary sources. The result of the move request was: no consensus. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page.
Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.
