Remedy definitely wants to work on a full-blown Alan Wake sequel, franchise development head Oskari Häkkinen has told Eurogamer.
Asked if the studio had been in contact with Microsoft concerning a sequel, Häkkinen said: “For both our publisher Microsoft and for Remedy, we’re still in a launch phase. The game just came out. We are still monitoring the main game.
“We’re working hard on the DLC. We just put out the first DLC, The Signal, and The Writer is coming up. We’re working full steam ahead here. We’re a team of around about 50 people. We’ve still got plenty to do.”
He added: “Being in this launch phase at the moment, we haven’t had a chance to get out to Redmond, Microsoft Game Studios, and discuss anything further of how we move on. But I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t continue with Microsoft with a full-blown sequel for Alan Wake.”
“There’s certainly a want, and that want is I believe from both sides,” said Häkkinen. “Right now I can’t confirm anything.”
Häkkinen also confirmed that should a sequel go ahead it will remain exclusive to Microsoft, be that Xbox or PC.
“With Microsoft Game Studios it’s Xbox exclusive, or it’s Xbox and PC version,” Häkkinen explained. “Please don’t put that Alan Wake 2 is going to come out on PC, because that might not be true. Either is a possibility.”
Alan Wake is out now for Xbox 360. The first of the planned DLC episodes, The Signal, launched late last month.
