A recent job listing has started the speculation mill for the possibility of an Alan Wake 2. Â At the dawn of this generation Xbox 360 gamers were promising something game-changing in a title shrouded in mystery, Alan Wake. Â The game went into a long hiatus after its initial reveal, and many thought that it might never see it’s day on consoles. Â Last year the game finally released to mixed reviews, but it definitely lived up to and exceeded many gamer’s expectations. Â Time Magazine gave the game it’s game of the year award, and you can see why a more mature publication would feel that way. Alan Wake was a lot different than your traditional game, it was a game designed specifically for a more mature audience.
You would think that Alan Wake is a shoe-in for a sequel, and a recent job posting with Gamasutra has alluded to just that. Â Remedy Entertainment has been staffing up for the past few months for a “new AAA title”. Â The first ad they posted was looking for a senior producer, which surfaced last year. Â More recently, Remedy is now looking for a senior level designer for the same listed “AAA title”. Â With the story from Bright Falls having so many more possibilities you can’t blame us for possibly reading more into this than is out there. Â Having put all that time into the core gameplay of Alan Wake it’d be a shame not to see him return for a sequel.
Perhaps we’ll hear more from Remedy in the coming months on this mystery AAA title that they are hiring for.
