One Character Will Likely Be The Linchpin of Remedy’s Connected Universe

In 2019’s Control, players could find a handful of in-game documents connecting it to the events of the first Alan Wake, and while that was initially viewed as just a fun little crossover, this was the very first instance of Remedy’s Connected Universe. Almost a whole year later, Remedy officially confirmed the existence of its shared universe, and Control‘s AWE DLC marked the first canon crossover event, directly linking Control to Alan Wake in more ways than one. It was clear from the get-go that there was a lot of potential behind this shared universe concept, and Alan Wake 2 goes a long way in fully realizing it.
