Alan Wake 2 isn’t official, and its developers at Remedy have yet to commit to saying whether they plan to continue the series. Fans hoping to see more stories from the horror novelist may have to wait until after the studio’s new game Quantum Break is released.
When previously queried in 2013, the developers said a sequel “wouldn’t work,” at least at the time, though the game’s creator Sam Lake assured fans that the game would be made–eventually. In 2015, the studio said that it hadn’t given up on the series.
The company had also revealed some some WIP prototypes they had of Alan Wake 2 in a Polygon feature, which showed some of the ideas they were working on.
Speaking to attendees of a lecture at the Cite des Sciences et l’Industrie, Paris, Sam Lake revealed recently that the studio had actually started work on a sequel immediately after the release of the first game. He said that in order for the game to actually get made, the studio needs to find the right partner, secure funding, and do so with a proper concept.
