Unfortunately, if this is true, don't expect Alan Wake 3 to come anytime soon.

Since they now own the license for Alan Wake and they have a potential long-term publishing partner in Epic Games, it does make sense for Remedy to consider turning Alan Wake into a trilogy. The TL DR version is that if Alan Wake 2 is "Initiation", which is the middle part of the story, and Alan Wake was "Departure", the beginning, then this suggests "Return", a potential third part, is included in the plan.

It appears that Respawn has its hands full with at least two AAA titles set to release within the next two to three years. Furthermore, he explains that "Departure" played a huge role in the first game as it is the name of what Alan wrote to help himself battle against the Dark Presence. Hornshaw points out signs in the trailer's city portion that spell out the letters "Init" and "Ion", which combine to make the word "Initiation." He claims that this refers to Joseph Cambell's description of the "Monomyth" that consists of three parts: Departure, Initiation, and Return. However, as spotted by Phil Hornshaw from GameSpot, Alan Wake 2 might be a part of a larger Alan Wake trilogy. Plus, Remedy confirmed earlier this year that their games are part of a much bigger universe. This, then, begs the question, is Remedy planning for more? We already know that a Control sequel is in the works along with a multiplayer spin-off. Lake also reassured fans that playing "previous games is not required in any way to fully enjoy Alan Wake 2, but to those interested it will add to the backstory of it." Is Remedy working on an Alan Wake trilogy? Do you think that Remedy is working on an Alan Wake trilogy?Īlan Wake 2 is shaping up to be a much bigger game than the indie-like original. Thankfully, Remedy finally got the publishing rights to Alan Wake from Microsoft back in 2019, with Epic Games helping bring Alan Wake back to video game life.

The release of an Alan Wake-themed expansion for Control, AWE, only helped fuel the proverbial fire.

Alan Wake fans have been waiting for a sequel for years.
