Rumor: Remedy Busy Working on Alan Wake Sequel

An artist's LinkedIn resume may have leaked the exsistence of a second Alan Wake game.

Released to always seemed to think there would be one [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/7524-Review-Alan-Wake], saying, "There will be more Alan Wake, if we have anything to say about it. It's a bigger story than just one game, and we want to make it very weird and scary and wonderful." Now it seems we might soon be getting word on the status of that sequel.

In a resume on Halon Entertainment [http://www.linkedin.com/in/altheagata] (the people behind the Halo: Reach- Deliver Hope video)last month on the previsualization (basically story-boarding) stage of those cinematics.

The reference to Alan Wake 2 was quickly removed from the resume, but not before speculation about a possible E3 reveal took hold. At this point, everything under the sun is being revealed at E3, or at least is rumored to do so, so it can't hurt to hope for one more.

It's the only game with Limbo that makes me wish I had a 360

 

[KaosuHamoni]

I'd care. If I had, or even wanted a 360.

Honestly though, Alan Wake is the only exclusive on the 360 that I quite like the look of.

 

[imnot]

I hope so Alan Wake was fucking awsome

 

[erbkaiser]

Thought this game bombed, but apparently not bad enough to prevent a sequel? They should never have cancelled the PC version and snubbed their existing fanbase, but I wish them well even if I'll never play one of their games again as long as they're thralls of Redmond.

 

[BreakfastMan]

Is this is true, I will be very happy. Alan Wake was one of the few games I bought at launch, and I was not disappointed. Let us hope that the sequel fixes the atrocious lip-sinking and plays around with the "light as a weapon" mechanic more.

 

[mad825]

Remedy, remember that thing called a PC? You know, it only featured Max Payne 1&2. No? Oh well, your loss.

 

[josemlopes]

They said that if the game was successufull then they would make a sequeal so its probably true. (Even if its false and the guy has nothing to do with Alan Wake I still do beleave that the game is in the works)

 

[ZeroMachine]

Oh GOD, I hope so! Alan Wake may be the best gaming experience I've ever had!

I'm actually in the middle of a playthrough just now. Just finished Episode 6. Gonna start on the DLC tonight... after dark, of course

Great holy diving suit i hope this is true.

I really, really want an alan wake 2. Even more than i want barry's headlamp.

I hope the Flaming Eye of Mordor is some sort of special edition bonus XD

 

[Owlslayer]

Damn, i really wish Alan Wake would be made for the PC, too.
I've heard many good things of it, and would love to try it out.
But either way, this is good news to the fans of the first game.

 

[AlternatePFG]

It'd be nice if there was a PC version like they planned for the first game. Cause I played the first one before my 360 broke and I quite liked it.

 

[WrcklessIntent]

I hope E3 shines some light on this possibility

I see what you did there. There is a void in my gaming life which needs to be filled by Alan Wake 2.

 

[bob1052]

I'm not really looking forward to the same 30 seconds of gameplay stretched over a couple more hours of setting changes.

 

[i am not god]

Awesome, love this game. It definetely needs to happen.

 

[Yopaz]

I hope they're making a sequel, and I hope they will make it for PC and 360, possibly PS3 too if that helps the sales. This was one of the games that deserved to be bought, and I would love to have been able to buy it through steam. I must say I loved the story and would like to see it continue.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Two words:

Hell. YES!

 

[Mike Richards]

Oh I so want this to be true. Now if they can just make sure everyone understands it isn't a horror game this time, maybe it will actually sell.

On a related note, I'm getting sort of sick of reading comments from people getting annoyed at Remedy for cancelling the PC version. Last I heard it was Microsoft who did that, not them.
