Alan Wake 2 Interview: Devs Discuss Working on a Sequel Over a Decade Later

The original Alan Wake was a multimedia experience that included the prequel live-action miniseries Bright Falls, a few other odds and ends, and has since been expanded by the 2019 Remedy hit Control. With all these pieces of story stretching over a decade of media, finding a way to catch players up posed a challenge.
