In “this better not be an early April Fools joke” news, industry insider Jeff Grubb revealed on his Twitch show titled Jeff Grubb's Game Mess Show that an Alan Wake sequel is finally in development.
After telling a gritty tale of crime in Max Payne, venturing into the supernatural in Alan Wake, and turning up the weirdness dial to 11 in Control, Remedy Entertainment has a new game in development that’s unlike anything else that the studio has ever done before. Primarily because this next chapter from one of the oldest gaming houses is going to be free to play.
If you pick up Control Ultimate Edition, you’ll get the base game, The Foundation DLC and its upcoming slice of Alan Wake-centric content in the form of All Elite Wrestling AWE. That upcoming DLC drop will expand on the idea of all of Remedy’s games existing in a shared universe, which gives me hope that we’ll finally see a big budget version of My Lords and Ladies.
If you’ve been itching for a reason to hop back into Remedy’s superb action game, then here you go! As many of you expected, Control is venturing into the realm of Alan Wake, which will kick off on August 27 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. You’ll be exploring the Investigations Sector of The Oldest House, which just so happens to be infested with the same darkness that plagued the infamous author all those years ago.
Happy tenth birthday, Alan Wake.
Remedy has revealed that two games are currently in development: One is a balls to the wall AAA project, whilst the other is a sister project on a smaller scale that’ll accompany it.
The team behind Control reckons that they'll be able to pull off better-looking and deeper games on the PS5 when it launches.
We’ve got a guide here that’ll get you through some of the trickier parts of Control, so sit back, take some notes and let your ol’ uncle D help you get back to what matters most in Control: Unrelenting gunplay and superpower action from the masters of Max Payne and Alan Wake.
