So check it out, and let me know in the comments how stoked you are on the potential for more Alan Wake! ALAN WAKE 2 E3 2016 FULLI got to play it at E3, and you’ll be able to see my full interview with Mikael and Brooke as soon as it’s ready. One thing I do know for sure is that Control is totally badass. Or at least the ability to publish remastered versions of Alan Wake on every platform. If Control is within the Alan Wake universe, it’s very likely that Remedy needed the IP’s rights in order to publish Control on multiple consoles. To me, news of the publishing rights reverting gives further credit to this theory. However, given the tone and feel of Control and their vague answer on Alan Wake when compared to the hard “no” of Quantum Break, it makes my mind whir with possibility. I don’t mean this to say that they gave me a wink behind the camera or anything, and they certainly stressed that they are promoting and focusing on Control as its own title. However, when asked if Control was in any way related to Alan Wake, they were far more vague. ALAN WAKE 2 E3 2016 TVThere also was that whole thing with the accompanying TV show, which I can’t even imagine what colossal wrench that throws into the whole licensing question. ALAN WAKE 2 E3 2016 PCThis makes a lot of sense, as Quantum Break was meant to be a flagship title for Microsoft’s push to integrate PC and Xbox game libraries. It was a very rigid, “worded for legal reasons” kind of answer. Therefore, it was really up to Microsoft to propose continuing the franchise. They elaborated that the IP for Quantum Break was co-owned by Microsoft. First off, they mentioned that Control is in no way affiliated with Quantum Break. During the interview (video forthcoming), I got the chance to ask if Control was a sequel/prequel/followup to either Alan Wake or 2016’s Quantum Break. I recently got the chance to interview Mikael Kasurinen and Brooke Maggs at E3 2019, who work on Control as Game Director and Narrative Designer respectively. Remedy’s new game, Control, releases on August 27th. So those are the brass facts, but we don’t come to Dread Central for just the facts. PlayStation and Nintendo fans just might see the game drop on their digital libraries in the future. Moreover, as Alan Wake was previously published by Microsoft, returning the rights to Remedy opens the door for a potential remaster on other consoles. While there is no current announcement for Alan Wake 2, it does open the door for a potential expansion of the franchise. More importantly, this payout also coincides with the publishing rites for Alan Wake reverting back to Remedy. Turns out we might finally be getting a sequel to the beloved horror gaming classic, Alan Wake (and no, American Nightmare doesn’t count, shut up.) Reported earlier by GlobeNewswire, Remedy has received 2.5 million Euros in royalties in its first half-year profits. So here’s a short and sweet one for you today folks. ALAN WAKE Publishing Rights Revert To Remedy – Is CONTROL A Secret ALAN WAKE Game?
