The control of Remedy Entertainment seems somewhat similar to its previous game Alan Wake, and in the new expansion AWE that similarity gets much more open when we see how the two games are actually connected. It’s the first step in establishing what the studio calls the Remedy Connected Universe, and as it turns out, it’s working on a new game that will take place there as well.
This information was shared by Remedy’s creative director Sam Lake, who has written several of the studio’s greatest games and served as the literal face of Max Payne back then.
“What happened in 2010 in Alan Wake is one of the cases that the Federal Bureau of Control has investigated,” Lake said. “The AWE expansion is the first official Remover Connected Universe crossover event, bringing more Alan Wake-lore under control.”
Alan Wake 2 was in development several years ago, but Remedy Director of Communications Thomas Puha told VG247 last year that it “did not unpack” and that there is currently no Alan Wake game in the works. Now that turns out to be exactly what I meant name, although Remedy has not said if the next project will be called Control 2 as things will take a different direction.
The AWE expansion of Control comes on August 27th. It will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
