Flicking the ‘on’ button reveals something stranger a teaser for an upcoming Alan Wake game, starring two FBI agents. In the opening level of Remedy Entertainment’s Quantum Break, players can find a strange tent with a lone television inside. However, the concept clearly interested Microsoft, as the publisher stated in return that "we are interested right now about this, but not really interested about going on with Alan Wake." This ultimately led to the creation of the idea for Quantum Break, a Remedy title that is still an Xbox console exclusive to this date.Īlan Wake 2's game director Kyle Rowley then picked up and added that, like Quantum Break, Control came into existence in a similar way, and that it "started off as an Alan Wake 2 concept". Alan Wake 2 was first teased in Quantum Break, with a trailer that reveals major plot details. This lets the Quantum Break mythos stay relevant in Alan Wake 2 and beyond, even if Remedy has to, in large part, leave it behind. Lake mentioned that Remedy actually pitched the idea of an Alan Wake 2 with "live-action mini episodes" to Microsoft, but that the publisher turned down the idea as it felt that single-player games were "a thing of the past". When we look at what Remedy Entertainment is delivering with Alan Wake 2 this October, you have to wonder how any publisher turned down this incredible-looking game, but as creative director Sam Lake told Eurogamer, the pitch for the sequel was actually turned down quite often.
