Will Alan Wake Truly Be Gone Forever Next Week?

Will Alan Wake Truly Be Gone Forever Next Week?

, , , , , 0

Just about every news site you visit has probably already informed you that Remedy Entertainment and Microsoft’s Alan Wake is about to be yanked from Steam and the XBox Games Store. Apparently a licensing deal for several pre-recorded tunes used in the game’s soundtrack is about to expire, and once it does on May 15, Microsoft can no longer legally sell Alan Wake. But is that truly the end? Perhaps not. Remedy would prefer that they can continue to sell the game they worked so hard on, and Microsoft is looking into renegotiating with the rights holders to the music. “Microsoft and Remedy are looking into renegotiating the music licenses, but there’s nothing more to comment on that for now,” said Thomas Puha, head of communications at Remedy. If they can get a reasonable deal, Alan Wake could return like nothing just happened. Worst case scenario is that it truly never shows up again. Second worst is that it does, but with the music replaced, which some fans won’t accept.

With the release of Quantum break, it seems Xbox and Remedy Entertainment are in a giving mood. The two pieces of DLC for Alan Wake are now available for free on the Xbox Marketplace. You can get them now for free at that link. The free DLC for the game includes Alan Wake: The Writer and Alan Wake: The Signal, which were both story add-ons for Alan Wake. While both pieces of DLC were made for the Xbox 360, they are now playable on the Xbox One through backwards compatibility, along with the main game version, which currently costs $19.99. It’s unknown how long the free DLC deal will last. So while there does not seem to be a long-awaited sequel for Alan Wake anywhere in sight, at least fans can enjoy the original and the DLC releases for Alan Wake on the Xbox One console. There is an Alan Wake-related Easter egg that can be found in Quantum Break. It references “RETURN,” which is the name of a manuscript

Alan Wake's Return Is Not a New Video Game

Late last month, news leaked online that Remedy Entertainment had registered a trademark and domain name for “Alan Wake’s Return.” This gave fans hope that perhaps Remedy was finally making a return to the Alan Wake franchise for a long awaited follow-up. Unfortunately, that no longer appears to be the case. Remedy had never publicly closed the door on an Alan Wake sequel either. However, Remedy Creative Director Sam Lake told Kotaku UK has nothing to do with a new game. It’s being done as an in-game video series for Quantum Break. Specifically, throughout Quantum Break, in-game TV screens will have “live-action mini-episodes,” starring Lake, for Alan Wake’s Return. Lake stated: “A big part of the trademarking process all in all is the legalities of it. Just making sure everything is covered. So, there’s no real news about anything future Alan Wake-related.” The good news? Lake and Remedy still are open to a return to the franchise. While the in-game video series may not be what fans wanted, there could be

Fans have wanted to see some sort of follow-up to Remedy Entertainment’s acclaimed Alan Wake for quite some time. However, a user on NeoGAF has uncovered a hint at would be the long-awaited sequel to Alan Wake. On the European Trademark Database, a trademark was discovered for the title Alan Wake’s Return. According to the entry, it was filed by Remedy Entertainment on February 23 of this year. This could be the hope that gamers have wanted for years that a follow-up is on the horizon. Perhaps Alan Wake Returns is a possible title or at least working title for the game. The same user also discovered that the website alanwakereturns.com was also registered in 2015 by the same proxy as other domains owned by Remedy. It was also noted that the end of the second DLC for Alan Wake had a bit of an Easter egg. In the DLC, the protagonist Alan is writing a book that has the name “Return” on the cover page for the manuscript. Keep

In an exclusive interview with Polygon, Sam Lake, creative director of Remedy Entertainment, has discussed how the developer was working on Alan Wake 2 as they released footage of the initial prototype of the game. The prototype uses the engine from the original game that released in 2010 and features characters and setting that later appeared in Alan Wake’s American Nightmare when it released in 2012. Despite releasing to a strong positive reception from the gaming press, Alan Wake did not sell as well as was hoped by Microsoft and Remedy. This has made it difficult to for a full sequel to be released, leaving fans to theorize on the possible solutions to the cliffhanger that Alan Wake ended on. However, the series might not be completely dead even though Remedy is now fully focused on other projects such as Quantum Break. Speaking in the interview, Lake explained the feelings of the studio and the franchise. “I, for one, happily killed almost every character in Max Payne. That proved to be a
