Despite not being a best-selling title, the unique and terrifying classic video game that is Alan Wake has a serious cult following.
The 2010 horror classic launched to seriously impressive reviews when it hit the Xbox 360, before finding even more fame after its PC port.
However, despite fans clamouring for a resurgence, it’s not a game series that we were expecting to see again.
That might all be about to change however, as Remedy Entertainment top dog and Alan Waker writer, Sam Lake, has stated that he’d love to see a sequel – but only if it was done right.
Speaking to IGN, Lake admitted: “I want to make it. It’s a curious thing,
“At this point, so much time has passed. I feel that the bar is higher in some ways. It needs to be done right if it’s ever done. Everything needs to click into place, which is really hard to make it happen. So many things, for these big games to be greenlit, need to be aligned. But I’m hoping that someday….”
“Someday” is looking possible for the first time ever though, as Remedy Entertainment recently reacquired the publishing rights to Alan Wake.
Earlier this month, Eurogamer reported that Remedy even teased the possibility of a multiplatform release for its previously Microsoft-owned IP.
A rep told Eurogamer: “The only thing we want to clarify, now that Remedy owns the publishing rights, is that we could bring Alan Wake to different platforms if we so choose,
“We have nothing to announce for now. We are fully focused on Control releasing on 27th August.”
Don’t be too surprised if we hear more about Alan Wake in the future…Personally I’ve got my fingers crossed for a PS4 version (please!)
