New Alan Wake in Development, Neither Sequel or Form of DLC


Yesterday, we figured out that a new Alan Wake game was in development after seeing an artist's resume via Joystiq. From there we saw "Alan Wake 2" titled as one prjoect that is underway, but it's actually pretty interesting that Remedy, the Finnish developer behind the original and Max Payne games (not including the 3rd one, which is being handled by Rockstar Games), has had a statement regarding this rumor and that info has spread just like that.
Oskari Häkkinen of Remedy has stated today that there is indeed a new Alan Wake game on the way, but it's odd how Häkkinen described it. The following is the full quote from Remedy, replying to Joystiq's first discovery about this new project:
So referring to your most recent Joystiq post ... It's awesome to hear you say that Alan Wake appears in your hearts – I've read through all the responses on your site which is fueled with positive responses. It really would seem Alan Wake is very close to the hearts of the fans out there, and to ours too. To that point, it's a shame that this news leaked before our official announcement which will of course include the visuals and information to support it. Well, now that the cat is out of the bag, we owe it to you and the fans to shed a little more light before we get the chance to officially show them what the guys have been up to.
Fans of the franchise will be excited to learn that yes, more Wake is coming! But to be absolutely certain to avoid confusion, this next Wake installment will not be Alan Wake 2. But neither will it be DLC. The rest we're saving for our official announcement when we'll actually SHOW YOU.
We are really excited about this project which a slice of our team has been working on for the last months. It's something that'll definitely give more to the Wake fans out there, but just as importantly, this installment will also give an opportunity for players who aren't familiar with the franchise to finally jump on board.
We can't wait to show you more, bear with us. Release dates, platforms and pricing are unconfirmed as of yet, but Fall 2011 is probably a good guess. More coming soon!
So there you have it, straight from Remedy. This next installment is neither a sequel nor DLC, which leads to my assumption of this next installment to possibly a sort of spin-off. Only time will tell as we sit here and wait for an official unveiling.
