Over an interesting interview released to GamesRadar+, the famous Sam Lake, the creative director of Remedy, has released several interesting statements about the awaited Alan Wake 2. Basically, the director said that the sequel has always been among his thoughts, let’s say since the publication of the first chapterand can be considered as Remedy’s most ambitious project yet.
In key passages from the interview, Lake said he felt like he never left Alan Wake behind. She also said that “there was always the intention of returning to him, there was always some story to tell and then the characters and the setting were too precious to be forgotten”. Continuing, the director explained that Alan Wake 2 “has continued to grow and evolve year after year”, despite the fact that the studio has continued to make new games with unpublished concepts in the meantime. Titles which, after all, have contributed to fueling the idea that all of Remedy’s works are part of a single universe until AWE DLC by Control. “After Control, finally every piece of the puzzle is positioned in the right place” revealed Lake.
Apparently, moreover, time has only expanded plans for Alan Wake 2, so much so that “a dream is kept alive when you continue to actively dream it and make a constant effort to always keep it fresh and exciting. If anything, over the years, the dream called Alan Wake 2 has become increasingly ambitious and unique. A project like this is a very complex undertaking – it’s our biggest project yet – and a lot of different things have to fit together correctly, not just the idea itself but also the right timing and partners.”.
The feeling is that the time is ripe for a sequel that could prove to be suitable for anyone, just as this sentence confirms: “when we were creating the concept behind Alan Wake 2, we had in mind to create an experience that was welcoming for everyone , both for new players who may not be familiar with Alan Wake or the Remedy Connected Universe, or our longtime fans who have gone all the way with us and enjoyed previous Remedy games.” At the moment unfortunately we have to make ourselves enough le parole di Sam Lake pubblicate su GamesRadar+ and what little we know about the game, namely that, barring unforeseen events, Alan Wake will be released this year for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
