While Remedy has still not announced whether it will be a new Alan Wake game, it appears that the team is already expanding its lore. After all, Control has basically confirmed that the game is set in the same universe with Alan Wake.
While playing Remedy’s latest title, players can recover some really interesting confidential reports about the incident in Bright Falls. According to the reports, Alan Wake has created an Altered World Event. This AWE caused reality to alter so it can match Wake’s story.
Although the authorities could not find Alan Wake, the Bureau has flagged Wake as a Parautilitarian. In the world of Control, Parautilitarians are individuals capable of wielding paranatural powers, usually by binding to Objects of Power. In that case, the clicker or the typewriter are the Objects of Power in Alan Wake. Quite fascinating to be honest.
Furthermore, the reports state that Alan’s wife, Alice, had been trapped in the Threshold during its manifestation. Threshold is basically a “room” in The Oldest House. For those unfamiliar, The Oldest House contains numerous Thresholds; rooms leading to alternate dimensions which affect the appearance of the Oldest House’s interior. Therefore, Alice was trapped in such a room during the events in Bright Falls.
It will be interesting to see whether Remedy will use this easter egg in order to create the story of Alan Wake 2. Fans have been asking for a sequel to this title for years, and – if Control is successful – this may happen.
I’ve included below the three reports that players can find in Control regarding Alan Wake. These documents do not contain any spoilers, however I strongly suggest avoiding them if you haven’t finished the game.
Enjoy!

you will also find other stuff like nightsprings, mirror stuff :p play alan wake after completing control you might find lot of familiar stuff. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f13f5dbd41880ea320e85b740ffa5c88712f916062d246620799e6aecaef412f.png
I loved to see night springs!
First time I saw one I was like ‘wth is this?’, and then there was me searching all around to find another TV.
Or just easter eggs, like in watch dogs about abstergo
Fascinating.
Nobody cares.
Klaps .
Alan Wake 2 confirmed 🙂 . After playing Control I would really love to see them revisit Alan Wake, fingers crossed it will happen.
Also I think with the success of Control that a new Alan Wake follow up is going to happen sooner than we think. Good times m/ 🙂 m/
Because it’s on the Epic Failsclusive, Control won’t have success. The only way it will have success isif you count the uTorrent “purchases”. Many would be customers flocked to uTorrent because it has more features than the Epic Store.
I personally know 3 people playing it on epic right now. I have a relatively small click of gaming friends. I think it’s doing fine.
I’ll also get around to it eventually. It’s reviewing great.
So would I. Control was absolutely fantastic, and well worth the wait. Considering Remedy owns the Alan Wake IP now we very well may see something from the series at some point.
Perhaps we even could see something like what the original Alan Wake pitch/idea was supposed to be with the whole open world aspect they scrapped. It could be far more viable now that they have more experience with this sort of thing.
Hell, it would be awesome if they did multiple Metroidvania style levels that are based off different books that the character has written.

” I think with the success of Control”
?????
Lmao.., I know man. Same thoughts brother
HL3 is also confirmed. Freeman’s crowbar is in FBC custody!
Played Alan Wake and it’s spin off or something and they are average at best. I think Quantum Break is better, not better than Max Payne, but at least better than Alan Wake
I’m honestly amazed it took Remedy 3 years for Control (but expected given they already had the engine in place), given it took them 5-6 years for Quantum Break and 7 years for Alan Wake (on last-gen no less).
Control and Quantum Break are both smaller scale than Alan Wake. I can’t think how much would it take for them to make an Alan Wake 2, given at least 3 years would make it a next-gen title regardless. (and that would imply better visuals anyway).
And for how much AAA Control is, quite amazing it cost them only 30 mill $ for a current gen title on 3 platforms and PC specific bonuses.
I like the game so far, nothing special, nothing worth of big prizes, but a great game indeed!
And I really hope they can make another Alan Wake, though I didn’t find it any masterpiece as well, I like it enough to want to see a sequel. The main story is very pleasureable and with these conections with Control, everything got better.
Spoiler Alert tag in the title please.I’m a huge fan of Sam Lake and his work.Didn’t finish Control and I’m sure they are others in my position as well.Thanks for understanding O_O
