The original game has stood the test of time and continues to be a highlight of Remedy's library. Remedy's previous titles have taken big risks in story and gameplay the two games sharing characters (and a mysterious future date) could mean something big is coming to Bright Falls.Īlan Wake 2is dripping with potential. At The Game Awards 2021, Alan Wake 2 was officially announced for 2023 and will be Remedys first survival-horror video game. A Control DLC would make sense, but it also wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to see Jesse Faden play an active role in the events of Alan Wake 2 as a protagonist (or antagonist). This has massive implications for Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake's presence in AWE could bridge a connection between Alan Wake 2 and Control, in a more complex and involved narrative than smaller easter eggs like those in Alan Wake Remastered.

ALAN WAKE 2 QUANTUM BREAK SERIES
Similar to Alan Wake, Quantum Break took on an episodic narrative structure and was the first to incorporate a live-action television series within the game itself. Though Quantum Break's buggy gameplay tends to distract from its sprawling time travel story, it still supports that Remedy can be trusted to deliver a compelling, complex narrative experience. Following the events of a cataclysmic event, Jack Joyce and Paul Serene battle to mend or break time, respectively. So what does that mean for Alan Wake 2 If. Even if the end product isn’t as ambitious with the idea as previously touted. Looking at early ideas for Quantum Break it’s easy to see how that idea permeated through different games. The dramatic, nightmarish narrative shone brightly with fresh concepts, and included a host of memorable characters. With a decade now having passed since the original's release, Remedy could experiment with new ideas in the Alan Wake universe.Īlthough it received mixed reviews, Quantum Break, which was released in 2016, solidified Remedy in its ability to craft a complex, multi-arc narrative. Early on Alan Wake 2 was said to be dabbling with a feature that would allow Alan to rewrite the future. Control takes the self-referential content to new heights. Hes not just mentioned by the games writers for fans outside that world. The story, which took a stylish, episodic approach to the narrative, was what made Alan Wake truly iconic. Its scrawling tries to puzzle out what happened to Wake after he dove into Cauldron Lake, making it clear Wake is someone who is being investigated by someone in Quantum Break s world. The graphics and gameplay mechanics of Alan Wake might not have aged well, but one element of the original cannot be balked at: the story of Alan Wake himself.
