Sam Lake, the Remedy Entertainment writer behind 2010's supernatural action-adventure game, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Alan Wake, has recently stated that he is more than interested in penning a sequel. The first title c🌳aptivated gamers with its un⛎ique story of a writer who must find his missing wife while using a flashlight to fight off enemies comprised of darkness, called the Taken, and fans of the game have been itching for a sequel for nearly a decade now.
Lake, a Finnish writer who is also known for contributing heavily to the Max Payne series, that he is willing to start writing the game's sequel. He went on to explain that the concept of a follow-up to Alan Wake works better now than it ever has before, as it would capitalize on the slowly developed, yet substa🐟ntia🦂l following that the original has received over the years.
Although Lake might be ready to get started, his participation is not the only thing needed in order to get production on an Alan Wake sequel rolling. The original game received high critical praise upon its release, although it did not meet its sales goal at first. Instead, similar to games like 2005's Psychonauts, the title slowly sold its copies over time, developing a sort of cult follow🥂ing that didn't fully establish itself until years after its release date.
To further diminish your optimism, Remedy is currently hard at work on their next game, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Control, which, like Alan Wake, contains elements of the supernatural. While fielding questions on the upcoming title at PAX East earlier this year, Remedy's Director of Communications Thomas Puha, revealed that work on Alan Wake 2 had be🥃gun years ago, although it was eventually scrapped with no plans of picking it baꦆck up again.
The original title was a collaboration with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft, and they owned the rights to the IP for years. Despite the passion of Lake and the other creative minds at Remedy Entertainment, Microsoft 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:made it clear that it has no interest in working on a sequel to the game any time soon. Hope might not be completely lost though, as Remedy reacquired the rights to the game earlier this year, and Sony, a company who most certainly would be capable of providing a substantial budget for development, has recently 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:expressed interest in acquiring Remedy.
Sam Lake also made it clear that due to Alan Wake's initial sales woes and the anticipation that has developed over the years concerning a sequel, the script behind the game would need to be almost perfect in order to get a green light to begin production. So, unfortunately, despite the writer's openness to get the ball rolling, much more needs to happen before we ever come close to an actual announcement. Even with these obstacles though, a sequel is not out of the realm of possibility, and fans of Alan Wake will surely maintain hope that they'll see itꦫ happen some day.
