Big in 2023: With the Remedy Connected Universe established, the studio is finally ready to drag Alan Wake out of the darkness and push him back out into the world

 

Quote

 

Remedy will unleash the tortured author back into Bright Falls in 2023. 'Tortured' being the operative word here, with Remedy signaling that Alan Wake 2 will be a true survival horror experience – rather than an action game with Twin Peaks and Stephen King-inspired horror elements, as was the original. What this means for Alan Wake – its off-kilter atmosphere and snappy combat, leveraging the forces of light against darkness with a backpack full of lithium batteries – remains to be seen, although game director Kyle Rowley is only too happy to tease the tonal shift. 

 

"I'd love to get into those kinds of details," laughs Rowley, who served as lead designer of Quantum Break, "but we are not quite ready to reveal too much about our approach to survival horror just yet. What I will say is that we very much want to put a stake in the ground and say we are creating Remedy’s take on the survival horror genre. Gameplay, narrative, atmosphere, music – it’s all singing from the same hymn sheet, and that was very important for us from the outset."

I think Remedy have the coolest universe going on between Control, Control: AWE, Alan Wake, Max Payne (which is also vaguely hinted in Control) and this one. I really can't wait to see what they come up with next. I think they really hit their stride gameplay & level design wise with Control as well.

Quantum Break is sad you didn't include them.

It only feels like yesterday we were all praying to the gods of impossible things that we might one day get a sequel to cult monologue-'em-up Alan Wake, but now, not only has one been announced, developer Remedy Entertainment has confirmed the game's reached a stage in development where it's "playable from start to finish".

 

That's according to Remedy CEO Tero Virtala, who shared the news as part of the company's latest financial results report. "Alan Wake 2 is in full production," he wrote in his statement to investors. "The game will soon have all content in place, and it is playable from start to finish."

 

That probably shouldn't be too much of a surprise, of course, given the studio had previously confirmed a 2023 release for its long-awaited sequel, but it's a milestone worth noting for Alan Wake fans, and Virtala adds Remedy will next "move onto polishing the experience."

As for Alan Wake Remastered, Remedy's 2021 spruce-up of the 2010 action-horror original, Virtala revealed the game is still yet to generate royalties. "However," he added, "we expect the sales to increase as the release of Alan Wake 2 becomes imminent and fans and new players want to experience the original story on new generation consoles."

I just played Alan Wake for the first time(The remaster).  Eh, I'd say it's my least favorite Remedy game.

I keep almost picking up this remaster because I love the idea and presentation of the game. Then I remember that even when it came out I kept thinking that it feels like they were so in love with creating the world that the gameplay and level design feels like an afterthought.

Our game projects have advanced well during the first quarter, with the prime examples of Alan Wake 2 moving towards the final stage of full production and Control 2 and Max Payne 1&2 remake progressing to the proof-of-concept stage.

Mark October in your calendars, Alan Wake fans.

Matthew Porretta was speaking to host Justin Young – who regularly interviews filmmakers, actors, musicians, and artists, among others – when the actor revealed when players might expect the game. "I've been working and will be working more on Alan Wake 2, I think it's supposed to be coming out in October but I don't know the exact time of that," Porretta said.

Ok hold the fuck on...WAS THAT FREAKING MAX PAYNE!? (:52 into the trailer)

 

I thought it was just some character that happened to have Sam Lake's face on it. I mean that happens to be Max Payne but it could also be just some new guy with his face.

The character in the trailer is Detective Alex Casey, the protagonist in Alan Wake's series of thriller novels and an FBI agent in Control who requested all out files on Bright Falls, specifically on the disappearance of Alan Wake.

Is it just me or does the voice actor sound different? I mean according to the article above he is the same but he sounds softer in the new one.

I recognized it as Alan Wake from his voice more than his face. He’s just been through a lot. :p

Max Payne, Alan Wake and Control are all part of the same world mainly due to Alan Wake's ability to write things into reality, this was CLEARLY covered in Control you posers!
