Remedy Says It's Already Working on Next Game that Will Share the Same Universe as Alan Wake and Control

Remedy just yesterday revealed theAWEexpansion forControland it confirmed that Alan Wake himself, the main protagonist from one of the studio’s most popular games ever, will be appearing in the DLC. While this crossover has been teased for quite some time now, it seems as though the shared universe thatAlan WakeandControlboth reside within isn’t stopping here.

In a newblog post over on Remedy’s websitetoday, the studio talked about theAWEexpansion and what it means for the future. Remedy explained that for over a decade, it has slowly planted seeds to have some of its titles later be connected to one another. “Each game is a stand-alone experience, but each game is also a doorway into a larger universe with exciting opportunities for crossover events,” the blog post explained.

AWEmarks the first time that Remedy has decided to fully bridge the gap between two of its games, but it also won’t be the last. Likely the most vital piece of information that Remedy provided today came in the confirmation that the developer is already working on its next game, which is also set in this RCU (Remedy Connected Universe). “We’re already hard at work on a future Remedy game that also takes place in this same universe,” Remedy said.

The idea that Remedy is now creating a full-blown shared universe is quite enticing, but it could be a few years before we actually see what the studio’s next game ends up becoming. Considering that it is still working onControlin addition to thecampaign forCrossfireX, the next game from Remedy likely might still be pretty far away from releasing.

That said,AWEseems to be providing our first look into what this future entry could be related to. Will it be a direct sequel toControlorAlan Wake? Or will it be a new IP altogether that just happens to tie-in with these properties? Hopefully, the forthcoming add-on expansion teases what Remedy could be cooking up for the future.

As forControl: AWEitself, the DLC is set to release on August 27 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Remedy will also beshowing off the first 15-minutes ofAWEnext weekvia a new live stream, if you’re interested in checking it out prior to launch.
