Last year, Control developer Remedy announced it had signed a two-project publishing deal with Epic Games, and then re-introduced its fan favourite hero Alan Wake via Control's excellent second expansion, which wove the story of both games together as part of Remedy's wider narrative universe.
Was Wake being teed up to tease a full sequel to his Xbox 360 cult hit? After Epic's publishing deal was announced – for a big "AAA multiplatform game already in pre-production" and a "new, smaller-scale project set in the same franchise" – fans' hopes were high that Wake would also appear in one of these games.
Now, chatty but reliable Venturebeat journalist Jeff Grubb has announced via his Twitch he had heard "Alan Wake 2" was one of Remedy's Epic-funded projects.
