Following an earlier report that some work on Alan Wake 2 had been done as recently as last month, developer Remedy has confirmed that another Alan Wake game is coming.
However, this game will be neither DLC nor a direct squeal. Remedy’s head of franchise development, Oskari Hakkinen has said “Fans of the franchise will be excited to learn that yes, more Wake is coming!” But to be clear he said “this next Wake installment will not be Alan Wake 2. But neither will it be DLC. The rest we’re saving for our official announcement when we’ll actually SHOW YOU.”
Hakkinen has also said in his official statement that not all of the development team has been working on this new game, and that the game has been in development “for the last months”
What else can the game be if it is neither a squeal nor DLC for the original game? Remedy’s official statement goes on to say “It’s something that’ll definitely give more to the Wake fans out there, but just as importantly, this installment will also give an opportunity for players who aren’t familiar with the franchise to finally jump on board.”
We should definitely expect to hear more at Microsoft’s E3 press event next month.
