Sam Lake revealed more information about Alan Wake 2

During the Game Awards, Remedy announced that their next title was Alan Wake’s sequel, who is now known as Alan Wake 2. The title of the third person of the original psychological thriller brought a new story to the audience through a writer named Alan Wake, who traveled to a bright rural city, Washington, to cure the author’s block. However, the supernatural threat takes over the city, turning residents from normal people to wild animals that have no meaning. One of their medicine? Rifles and light. The players must explore the city and spend people and animals that change, while revealing the secret behind everything that is happening.

Since the first match, fans have asked Remedy to provide more horror series Alan Wake series. This series is expanded in this story with two special American nightmare games and Alan Wake. The original game is more an action title than a horror experience, and the action relies more on the release of Nightmare American Alan Wake.

However, everything looks like it will change. With the announcement of Alan Wake 2 a IGN interview appeared, who spoke with the creative director of Remedy and Co-Director Alan Wake 2, Sam Lake, explained some of the titles to come, as well as plans for next release next year.

This 11 -minute interview includes a lot of information about Alan Wake 2, with the first question asking about how this game came together. He responded by mentioning that while the company wanted to work on Alan Wake’s sequel, other things were priority. For one, because Remedy is a developer and not a publisher, the company must build a title catalog to show the publisher that they can create good content. Now, with the titles such as resting and quantum control under their belt, more feasible for titles such as Alan Wake 2. Lake also gave awards to luck playing a factor in the release of Alan Wake 2, stating that it was also about the right time when coming to Pitching for a partner to want to take a title.

The interview then shifted from how the game came together at Remedy to how much support fans made the game series stay alive to allow other entries in the Alan Wake series. Lake responded by saying that fans’ support is important for this series is very important. Showing how many people ask for online games and through other social media channels help tell partners for this series. He also mentioned that with Alan Wake’s long life, fan support helped the motivation of recovery to continue the project and show the partners that there was a request for the project.

It has been mentioned that Lake and the company have worked in the game, developing buildings from time to time. The question focuses on how the original building has changed from the beginning of the sequel with the release of Alan Wake to the final version of Alan Wake 2. The lake states that the initial version of Alan Wake 2 that came after the first title has an element that became part of American Night Dream Alan Wake. With these ideas, most of the elements of the original 2010 prototype are not in the Alan Wake 2 version that fans get.

Lake also mentioned that the additional time used to make the project had opened the door to build above what they already had, which had created a better product as a whole than the lake proud. Something that also changes about this project is that Alan Wake will be the right horror survival title, rather than the title of the original psychological action that was originally the game. When asked about the change, he mentioned that the axis from action to the right horror was part of the trip. With a shaft to the horror, more ideas are being implemented into the sequel, which opens the door for the new experience that will be invested by the player completely. With the story of Alan Wake being the center of the series, finding a genre that is the center of attention will be the best way to deal with sequels. Survival horror will be the perfect genre for games to take place. He completed this section by mentioning that the drug would do their view of the genre.

The lake was asked about rank M game. He replied, stating that having M-ranking games like breathing fresh air, allowing more freedom without the need to compromise or censor content. He said that the game would not be surprising to be surprising. The story, settings, and game events will match the bills for M-rated titles.

The lake was asked whether Alan Wake 2 would maintain a third person’s perspective even though there was a changing genre. He gave a surprising answer, avoiding that question. He stated in the interview that the aim was to announce the game, opening up the design aspects of the game a little, before becoming dark “to remain loyal to the theme of the game” will be a recovery place to focus on completing the title before 2023. The interviewer asks whether this means the title will be displayed on E3, which will make the right time.

The next question asked about the game is about the machine for the title. Remedy partnering with Epic Games; Their title has been placed in their PC window. But, with their next game out and with the power of Unreal Engine 5 displayed in the Game Awards by expressing the matrix experience, it was asked whether Remedy would remain with the Northlight engine they had developed. Lake indeed confirmed that Alan Wake would remain in the Northlight engine, saying that the machine was something familiar with the medicine. They know how the machine works and gets the results they want from the machine while working on Alan Wake 2. This is something they will be more comfortable by doing rather than trying to learn how to make the game they want to make at Unreal Engine 5. Although the game will be in a different machine, Lake said that Alan Wake 2 will be the best game of the developer.

The interviewer then asked Lake how with the series trapped with the team to make other games. He mentioned that the story of the game was one of the main players who determined this decision. With the original title that ends in Cliffhanger while it is also the perfect ending for characters, it is difficult for recovery to not want to make other games and continue the story of Alan Wake.

The last confirmation for this game is that the voice actor for Alan Wake, Matthew Porretta, and physical actor Alan Wake, Ilkka Villi, each will repeat their role as the sound and face of Alan Wake. By remembering this, it seems that Alan Wake 2 forms the game expected by fans, and with the game released in 2023, there is still a long way before the game is fully released.
