Remedy’s Sam Lake On The Possibility Of An ‘Alan Wake 2’
Remedy wants us to know that while they are totally into the idea of an Alan Wake 2 — which may be made possible through crowd funding — they’re currently focused on their next project, the next-gen action game Quantum Break. If it happens, it won’t be for a while, but the future still looks appropriately bright for the franchise.
In a recent interview with Polygon, Sam Lake, Remedy’s creative director and lead writer, discussed the sequel we all would like to see. More after the break.
“We love Wake and we are constantly looking for opportunities and talking about possibilities of what we could do with Wake,” Lake told Polygon. “I would definitely love to do more Wake, but it needs to be something we absolutely feel is the right thing for Wake and that the bar is high enough.”
“This is really going to be cool, not just doing it at the cost of making something that’s not as top notch as it should be, so time will tell.”
They clearly care about the series and would like to continue it. The original has a definite following, but despite strong reviews, the series hasn’t been successful enough to guarantee a sequel. I hope Remedy is able to find a way to make this happen, because as a fan of Alan Wake, I would love to see more of it.
In related news, I’m playing the original game on our YouTube channel, if you want to check that out.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
