Of course, that was the hope with Alan Wake, and these things didn’t really work out, but hopefully we’ve learned from that. “But at least we are the ones making it, and we’re really trying to make sure that we get to make more Control. “Does that mean we always make the right decision? Of course not,” Puha admitted. That means the company has more control over its own destiny than ever before. Remedy became a publicly listed company back in May 2017, in a bid to fund more games for itself and take ownership of its own IP. Alan Wake 2 prop fuels theory that Max Payne is canon to Control Alan Wake 2 may bring together Rockstar Games and Remedy Entertainment again, as a prop suggests Max Payne exists in the same canon as Alan Wake and Control. But of course, the first game has to be as good as it can to even build that platform that we can make more, so that’s what we’re focused on.” We’ve got nothing against sequels, so definitely Control is something that we want to be working on in the future. “We spent all that time creating the world and everything, and when you only do it for one game, it’s just a lot of work. So, of course, we’re always trying to build a franchise. Alan Wake 2 marks Remedy Entertainment’s first foray into the survival horror genre. “I mean, the name really comes almost from that, and it’s giving us, as a company, the opportunity to decide what happens when the game is out. Alan Wake 2 is the sequel to the 2010 psychological thriller Alan Wake. Basically I think Jesse will be a supporting character who will help Alan investigate the new Bright Falls AWE. I do think Jesse will play a role in Alan Wake 2, which I shared in this comment on a different post a few days ago. “A lot of the things that Remedy has done in the last five years is really about putting the company into a position where we have more control,” Puha said. I think the two DLCs were meant to set up each: AWE sets up Alan Wake 2, while Foundation I think sets up Control 2. The only thing stopping Remedy from creating Alan Wake 2 is “time, money, and resources,” Puha explained. Aside from that, there’s another team at Remedy called ‘Vanguard’ that’s working on developing the first phases of Remedy’s next big thing.

There’s also a team at the studio working on Crossfire, a series originally created by Korean developer Smilegate. Over the last year, Puha says a lot of work has gone into polishing and refining the story which leans into the ‘new weird’ literary genre and sees you exploring beyond the boundaries of our own world. Right now, the team is focused on finishing up Control, a supernatural shooter in which you can telekinetically manipulate the environment to crush enemies with debris. “We do own the Alan Wake IP, but it’s never quite as simple as that, but yeah, we do own it.”

“We were working on Alan Wake 2 years ago and it just didn’t pan out, so there’s nothing - we’re just booked solid for the next couple of years, really,” Puha explained. Fans of Alan Wake may be waiting a while for Alan Wake 2, if it happens at all.ĭuring PAX East, we got a chance to chat with Thomas Puha, director of communications at Remedy Games, and we asked about the possibility of a sequel to the psychological horror series.
