alan wake 2 It is a reality and it will be possible to play it in a few months. Apparently, Remedy Entertainment forgot about the franchise in the last decade, but the truth is that it was always present in the studio, which planned to make the sequel happen sooner, but it was not possible; in fact, there was an attempt that, thanks to Microsoft, ended up becoming Quantum Break.
This was revealed by the main person in charge of the narrative of the series, Sam Lake, who confessed that some ideas that Remedy Entertainment had for the sequel materialized in Alan Wake’s American Nightmarea spin-off that debuted on Xbox consoles.

Idea of Quantum Break It started as alan wake 2
According to Lake, another attempt to make alan wake 2 it was a project that would have “mini live-action episodes” that ended up becoming a completely new IP. Back then, Microsoft ended up rejecting the project. The exact reasons were not offered, but Lake felt it was because linear games were “a thing of the past”.
“That was the time when there was clearly a feeling that linear single-player games were a thing of the past. Well, single-player stories are big these days, but at the time, it felt like no one was interested. “Lake recalled in an interview with Eurogamer.
Remedy Entertainment not only presented the project to Microsoft, but also to other publishers, but in the end Microsoft was the one who supported it.
However, first some changes were made, because apparently what Microsoft liked were the live-action sections, which led the proposal to become Quantum Breaksince the company did not agree that the title was related to Alan Wake. Let’s remember that this project dates from when Microsoft had a multimedia approach to the Xbox, including TV.

Control also originated as alan wake 2
Lake recalled that this is how repetitive the conception of Alan Wake, which, despite the absence of the franchise in recent years, the studio never forgot. In fact, the director of alan wake 2Kyle Rowley, added that Control originated as an idea for the sequel to Alan Wake.
Despite attempts to make alan wake 2 ended up being transformed into other games, “very little” or none of the initial concepts of those projects will be found in Alan Wakewhich is a good thing, according to Lake.
“I’m very happy that we couldn’t do any of them,” said the creative. “Because I’m much more excited in many, many ways about what we’re doing now.”
