David Lynch has said: ‘Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper.’ Alan Wake 2 is our big fish. We are diving deeper than ever, into an ocean of darkness.
Alan Wake leaves Steam next week
According to a tweet by Remedy Entertainment, Finnish creator of Alan Wake, its atmospheric horror game will be “removed from stores” (including Steam) on May 15 because of “expiring music licenses.”
If you don’t own Alan Wake, you should. It’s a gem.
Trademark suggests an Alan Wake sequel is coming
A trademark application for “Alan Wake’s Return” was spotted by a user on the gaming forum Neogaf, pointing to another instalment of the Twin Peaks-style thriller. Remedy’s creative director Sam Lake has always said that he would like to return to the franchise, going so far as to release prototype footage. Alan Wake 2 was eventually scrapped in favour of Quantum Break, although some of the team’s ideas eventually wound up in Alan Wake’s American Nightmare.
Oh yes please. Without question the best game I played on the Xbox 360, it’s a crime there hasn’t been more interest in a sequel.
