Remedy's Sam Lake has confirmed that Alan Wake returns doesn't actually refer to a game at all, dashing all sequel hopes for now.
Remedy rocked gaming with the release of Alan Wake and Max Payne several years ago. And now Quantum Break will combine the best features of that game into one experience.
