After years of rumors and speculation, Remedy Entertainment finally announced Alan Wake 2, the long-awaited sequel to its cult action-adventure game, at The Game Awards 2021. The Finnish developer has been vocal about its intent to return to Bright Falls and the world of Alan Wake after the original game ended on a now-infamous twist. In the time since, Remedy has created the Remedy Connected Universe, an MCU-style shared universe in which almost all of the studio's games are now set.
