Posting on the Alan Wake Facebook page the studio's announced a 75% discount on the Alan Wake franchise via Steam. It promises "even greater Remedy news to come in 2013."
Last summer Remedy fuelled speculation by renewing the registration of the Alan Wake 2 website domain.

Further hinting at the Finnish studio's plans, lead writer Sam Lake said on Twitter in 2012: "It's all true. 'It will happen again, in another town, a town called Ordinary.' It's happening now."

His post linked to a blog that appeared to carry strong links to the Alan Wake series.

Last March, Remedy's head of franchise development Oskari Häkkinen told CVG that the original Alan Wake had topped two million sales across Xbox 360 and PC.

Asked if he thought the sales milestone, coupled with the release of spin-off game Alan Wake's American Nightmare, meant the franchise had a future, he said: "Yeah, I think so. Alan Wake is definitely very close to our hearts. It's our IP - we own it. It's not something that we're going to forget very easily."

Remedy has confirmed via job ads it's looking for "world-class talent to work on an unannounced project targeted at future generation consoles".

It looks great, if you can get past the shoehorned Shaniqua. Which I might not be able to.

But if it's really great, I'll probably play it. It's just textures after all, brown people had nothing to do with this game. Sure would love a whitewashing mod though.

October 17.

>Black lady replaces White protagonist
>game is a complete flop putting the company on life support

Such power.

Did I call it or did I call it? Scroll up and you'll see I called it.

There's a price to be paid for indiscriminately putting non-Whites in White art. And that price is ugliness first, and bankruptcy finally.

They called it Alan Wake 2 when you spend more time playing the race-swapped Saga Anderson than you do actually playing Alan Wake. Terrible game.

I played through the game, and it's obvious they pulled a bunch of race shit out at the last moment, as there are a couple of edges which remain in the dialogue.

I don't remember the plot as much as I recall instances of NPCs going out of their way to either comment on, compliment her Nordic heritage because of the sweater she was wearing, and her last name. Seemed forced, for some reason.

Yea I just saw that part when the guy was escorting the control agency repairman. Finnish sweaters lol.

The OG one was so cool, as well. She looked like a badass veteran agent working with a younger but cynical one. They just replaced her with a random black girl with literally no personality.

A deal with the devil. Epic Games will fund your dream project, but you have to make it completely retarded first. Walking around town every other person is chinese, it feels so unbelievably stupid.

I don't like how big of a role Saga has in the game or some of her dialogue, but her being black is actually important to her role in the story.

Spoiler Alert: She's the daughter of the only black dude in the game, and she's never met him lmao.

Remedy is one of the greatest devs of all time perhaps the highest quality still going but this should be the end of the studio and the end of the founders, they should have to go get jobs.

Race-swapping an established character is just stupid, and they didn't even bother to change the Nordic backstory, so it may have been a last-minute change, this is just ridiculous, tarnished an otherwise good game.

Retard who thinks the general audience had any clue whatsoever that Saga was supposed to be white a decade before the game came out in some easter egg video in a completely different game, and for that reason they decided to not buy the game.

That was Quantum Break. And no, the general audience didn't know the Easter Egg, but they did know ugliness and the stupidity it signals when they saw it, and that's why they didn't buy it.

It took two years to break even and sales are so stagnant at this point any profit they make will be negligible.

This was the worst case of race-swapping the games industry ever committed. Was completely stunned during gameplay when they tried to convince us this black protagonist had native Finnish parents. All these studios who caved in to SBI deserve failure!

Man this game was good at cinematics, art style but whenever that girl came on the screen, it felt so out of place. Alan's chapters were great. Really wanted to love this game but in the end dropped it. Also, this game isn't scary or uncanny at all!

I totally forgot they blackwashed the main female character. Black African female with Nordic Viking name was the mother of all DEIs.

https://x.com/MLFhunter101/status/1982133605758361894

No, an ex-Alan Wake dev leaked that the original female protagonist was indeed a white blonde chick and after Fent Floyd they changed it to a black woman.
