Alan Wake 2 Teased by Lead Writer

Alan Wake's lead writer has hinted at a possible successor to the third-person shooter psychological thriller.

Sam Lake had tweeted the following message recently:

It’s all true. ‘It will happen again, in another town, a town called Ordinary.’ It’s happening now.

The tweet itself featured a link to a story striking similarities with the Alan Wake universe. A segment of the description reads:

In the dream I was visiting the previous owner of my house at the nursing home, only in the dream the owner wasn’t a sweet old lady, he was a man, and he wasn’t old, he was a young man with a dark hair – very good looking in fact. I remember that he was wearing a funny jacket with old-fashioned elbow patches. I was there to find out about the shoebox, but he was very agitated and didn’t listen to me. The place was brightly lit, it was sunny outside, but he was still very anxious and wanted me to turn all the lights on.

He kept going on about the place being too dark. I remember being certain that all the lights were on already, but that didn’t calm him down. In the end he was screaming for me to turn the lights on. I was also starting to freak out, starting to think that something horrible was coming to take us away, and that’s when I woke up.

Developer Remedy has gone on the record several times stating they'll like to see the continuation of the IP. Head of franchise development Oskari Hakkinen, for one, had said the franchise's last title, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, would not be the last installment in the series.
