The Alan Wake Xbox LIVE Arcade game to be unveiled this weekend at the Spike TV Video Game Awards is definitely not Alan Wake 2, Remedy has reiterated.
Earlier this week the show’s host said: “It effectively is, I think, Alan Wake 2 when you really look at it and what they’re doing with that game. It’s really ambitious, beautiful technology and I think people are really going to be excited about it.”
However, Remedy writer Mikko Rautalahti has taken to the Alan Wake forums to calm fan expectations.
“Well, I really don’t want to talk about this before the VGAs,” he wrote. “We’ve got all sorts of things lined up and I don’t want to steal anybody’s thunder. I’m very glad that he’s [Geoff Keighley] excited about it, he’s obviously saying very nice things and we’re proud of the game!
“However, I think that since he invokes the ‘Alan Wake 2’ name, I should reiterate what we’ve said all along: this new game is not Alan Wake 2, and if we intended it to be that, we’d have named it that. (I know he means it as a compliment, and I appreciate that, I just don’t want there to be any confusion about it.)”
The VGAs will take place in the early hours of Sunday morning.
