No Sam, thank YOU thank you for being you Thank you for giving us these stories, stories that stick with us for so long. Characters that make us hold our breath when we hear them again. Thank you for making the world a better place with your and your team's art. Thank you Sam... From all of us, Thank you.

I'm still processing the fact that Alan Wake 2 is official. I can't wait to play it! Thank you guys for making it a reality!

Man, you can tell these guys really care about Alan Wake a lot. I mean you can see the care in all their games. But I feel like Alan Wake is their baby. It's crazy it's taken us this long to get a new one but. I'm just thrilled to see it happening. Control with the AW tie ins got me so hyped.

One of the few game development teams that still has that old school approach.... amazing team of developers. One of the best in the world really.

I legit screamed when I saw Bright Falls a bit during the trailer. I knew what it was. I knew what was coming. Then all I needed was the title card. “ALAN WAKE II” popped up and I cried and screamed. My favorite Xbox 360 game and still my favorite game of all time, one of the first few games I 100% on is now getting the sequel it deserves. Thank you Remedy and thank you Sam Lake. I cannot wait to play the next chapter of Alan Wake and see what is in store for both the character and now franchise.

So excited for this, Control was my GOTY of 2019, an extension of everything Remedy had developed before and learnt from and I just know with the same vision, passion and excitement they brought to that, that this too will be a continued evolution of that. So excited to hear more and finally get my hands on it. Thank you Remedy for existing

I screamed so loud during the announcement my roommate came into my room to see if I was okay. This has been my most anticipated sequel since I was 16 years old, I can't express the amount of joy the first game has brought me.

Alan Wake is one of those rare games you can go back to years after beating it and still get sucked right back into it. There's a charm to it , tihe setting, the great GREAT writing, the nods to Twin Peaks and Twilight Zone Alan Wake has its own flavor just like Silent Hill and Resident Evil do. I'm so glad to be able to enjoy looking forward to this, if this sequel weren't being made it would've been a bunch of fans or community much like the Silent Hill community a devout and loyale fanbase that would be replaying the old games until the end of time, loving them but always wondering what could have been. Glad we will finally be able to enjoy Alan Wake 2. P.s so happy to hear they're going balls deep into survival horror with this one!

I'm absolutely sure that Alan Wake 2 will be a masterpiece that will never be repeated... Thank you, Sam Lake, and the crew for your great work... Keep up excellent work and quality...

I can see how much care is going into Alan Wake 2. These guys care and respect their games and fans. That is rare these days. Bring out the best version of Alan Wake 2. Take all the time you guys need. We'll be waiting patiently.

Best game news this year. When I saw the trailer, I was so happy that I cried, keep up the good work 💜

Thank You Remedy for making great games, interacting with the fans and keeping us updated.

Sam, I can't say enough about thanking you. All Remedy games are TOP for me, but Alan Wake touched my soul. A sequel to me is one of the biggest dreams in the video game universe. I look forward to the sequel very happy and of course to know more about Control in the future, as it seems like a masterpiece to me as well.

I can't stress how much I love Alan Wake but also Remedy. I've kept up to date with them ever since I played Alan Wake in 2011. After they announced Alan Wake 2 about 40 minutes after I got a reply to an old tweet I made in 2016 asking for a sequel, Remedy replied with the announce trailer and I couldn't stop smiling. I adore this company so much and cannot wait to see where the story goes from here. 🖤🔦☕ Also bringing back my boy Ilkka Villi 💙

Alan wake will always be one of my all time favourites, I played it with my grandad when it first released, he loved the story.. then I re brought the remastered edition and got the plat. Just want say thank you for giving me some of the happiest memories with my late grandad. Can’t wait for Alan wake 2!

As soon as I heard Alan voice I was like HOLY SHIT IT'S ALAN WAKE 2!!!!

This is the love and care most game companies seem to lack. Take your time Remedy. I can’t wait to play out your vision fully realized.

I actually teared up a little at Sam's comments in the last shot! The world of Alan Wake and the character himself means a lot to me and I'm absolutely thrilled we're finally getting a sequel.

I'm so happy i could cry

Good job Remedy, making me cry again :) I rarely being so excited about something. But you guys always deliver, so I can sleep soundly knowing professionals are at work here. Good luck and can't wait for more info next summer!

whoa, just connected that "monsters wear many faces" with the core mechanic of shining light on things, and the "stay in the light" catchphrase. and ... suddenly convinced we'll shine flashlights on people to reveal a different face, and super hyped.

Over the last years many veteran game studios, once great and loved, have become a disappointment: BioWare, Blizzard, CD Projekt Red, Rockstar and so on... I really do hope it will never happen to you, because you're one of these few studios that I still respect and have all the best wishes for. I grew up with Max Payne, became a bit more adult with Alan Wake and thoroughly enjoyed Control. Thank you for all these experiences and good luck, Remedy! May AW2 be a truly great and memorable game!

Hope the Old Gods of Asgard write the soundtrack for Alan Wake 2

Man, the passion you guys put into your projects is admirable. It is really heart warming to see the sheer joy on Sam talking about Alan Wake 2. And I couldn't be happier! Will be buying day one. In Remedy we trust!

One of the many reasons to love Remedy, videos like this one. I basically replay all of Remedy's games like every year, but Alan Wake is my absolute favorite, the remaster is great, and hopefully you guys have a lot of fun making the sequel as good as it should be, which I have no doubt it'll be.

So emotional. What a journey and what a dream remedy get to make this sequel after all these years. You can tell from the massive reaction that Alan Wake fans would honestly wait a century for a sequel!

I almost ended up crying watching this. Guys, you're really something special! I can feel how grateful you are and how much you care about making this art called videogames. Love you all!

I’m a big fan of Max Payne since 2001. My parent’s bought me a PC that time, and that was my first game. NOW, I’m 25, played all the big Remedy games and can’t wait for AW2. Sam, Good Luck with the project. Can’t believe that I have been knowing your face for 19 years!

I had a feeling when the remaster came out that Remedy was testing the waters and getting others caught up. I myself played this for the first time finally with the remaster and loved it. Went back and played American Nightmare, than platinum’d Control, then played Quantum Break which I also loved. Was really looking forward to whatever Remedy did next and was stunned and hyped to see it actually was Alan Wake 2. Could not be more excited for this. I grew up with and loved Max Payne. And you guys have won over a fan for life for sure.

This really made me emotional. Remedy is one of my favorite developers of all time and I'm so glad you appreciate the passion of your fans. There were times I thought this sequel would never happen due to silly legal shenanigans, so this still feels unreal. Just knowing that you're officially working on this makes me feel I could gladly wait for as long as it needs. Thank you Sam and everyone else in the team for being so passionate and continuing to push the envelope in interactive storytelling.

I still can't believe it has passed over 10 years. My life and I have changed a lot since I played the last game. The way it impacted me, and the story I watched changed me, as if the story you guys wrote changed my reality like Alan changed his. After 10 years, I can't feel like a sequel is coming, but more like a new thing is been born. I don't what to come back to 10 years ago, and it feels like I can't anymore.

Thank you Sam and everyone at Remedy for everything you have done and for not giving up all these years

Alan Wake was a cult classic and has stood the test of time. Meanwhile, you as a studio has evolved and explored new grounds with Quantum Break, Control or even Crossfire X. All this great experience along with the fantastic Northlight engine will make this turn out amazing. Remedy's games always has this thing that I can't quite put my finger on, but it makes them so engaging, memorable and unique, which puts you in a standout spotlight from the rest, because you know something the others don't. Big respects to all of you and you are the game developer pride of Scandinavia! Good luck, I can't wait!

Alan wake, QB, Control - All in the same LORE! Thank you Sam Lake and Remedy for creating those fascinating stories! ESPECIALLY ALAN WAKE! Take as much time as you need to perfect the game! Please don't rush! The fanbase is patient and excited! thank you

Oh boy, another dev diary. The one for Control was fun. I hope this one is even more in depth. The way you guys make games is special and I love seeing how things went on the road to release!

I'm so excited about this game. Alan Wake and Alan Wake: American Nightmare were two of my favorite games, and when I played Control's new DLC and heard Alan's voice for the first time, I knew we had something amazing coming. Cannot wait to enjoy Alan's journey once more.

The news of Alan Wake 2 got me so hyped and I'm even more hyped knowing the direction they're taking the franchise in.

Whos here after beating Alan Wake 2? Thank you Sam! You are a treasure

Thanks Sam! It is nice that we have you and Remedy. Show everyone else how games are done, how stories are told and how the game experience is presented. I lost faith in many other companies but I have and will never lose that in you.

Seeing how much has Remedy progressed, both in terms of technology and storytelling, especially the kind which is open to analysis... It feel kinda wrong to say I'm glad that Alan Wake 2 took so long to arrive, but I really think that making the sequel now instead of 8 years ago is almost a blessing. The expectations are high, especially after Control, but I'm confident Remedy will be able to do more than just live up to them.

How endearing it is to see the love and care they have for their work and characters, as well as for their fans! Seeing Sam thank all towards the end has me tearing up! How much we love to see Max Payne talk about his other creations! Love, respect, and appreciation for you Sam Lake for being you and creating what you do!

I have been waiting for this game for 11 years. I can't believe this is finally happening. My favourite game of all time is getting a sequel. Remedy, take all the time you need.

The look of pure joy on Sam Lake's face after he says "we're about to announce Alan Wake II" is absolutely priceless. Control was my first Remedy Game, was excited when Alan Wake Remastered happened, and am dreading that I have to wait until 2023 to play Alan Wake II, but I know that I can trust all of the amazing talent at Remedy and that the wait for the game will be well worth it. Keep up the great work, stay happy, stay healthy, and know that your community loves you.

I'm not even sure if it was intentional, but I so appreciate Sam dressing like Dale Cooper during the TGA announcement. Alan Wake is what introduced me to Twin Peaks, and I'm forever grateful for that.

Thank you and you’re team for making this a reality. I have my coffee, my flashlight and my flare gun ready to step in to an ocean of darkness. Ready to bring back Alan in to the light.

Well having just finished Alan Wake 2, Sam you guys did indeed make it truly special. It absolutely blew me away, a remarkable achievement. So thank you Remedy it was worth the wait. Get ready to go back to the VGAs in a few months, have a feeling you guys will be winning a few.

I am so happy that Alan Wake 2 id really being made. Remedy games are a one of kind experience. Trully great games.

Love you guys. Always making masterpieces

A couple years ago, I happened to find Control on PS Now, ever since then I've been obsessed with the Remedyverse. I've since played control 3 times across 3 different platforms (PS4, PS5 and PC), Quantum Break, and I just finished the Alan Wake remaster on PS5. Now, I absolutely can't wait for the sequels!

I'm replaying the remaster of og Alan Wake what a game man 😭 lol Can't wait for the next one!

I am waiting for Alan Wake 2 since 2010 and now the time has finally come!!! Take my money!!! ❤️

It was Alan wake that finally pushed to start writing a story of my own. It’s got ways to go but it’s a true joy to do it. Thank you remedy!

Played your games since 2001. You remain one of my favorite developers and keep my love of single player narrative alive and well. Sam Lake is a big inspiration for me. Love you all thank you for what you do.

Only recently found your channel on here but I absolutely love Alan wake and control so thanks for all the hours of fun you have given me and the other fans.

We can see all the love that, not only the community but also Remedy and Sam itself have for this game. I couldn't be happier about this! thanks guys for such incredible and passionate games!

Sam's excitement is contagious! This was great, thanks for filming this :D

I just finished the game and it was absolutely awesome. Thank you.

Alan Wake is my favorite game from the 360 generation. Been wishing for this announcement every year since 2010.

What a dream come true. I remember being one of the only people in line to get the collectors edition at GameStop when Alan Wake dropped. The cashier asked me if I was sure I didn't want Red Dead Redemption. Haha! Great memories. I was 14 years old then and here I am in my late 20s. Remarkable. So looking forward to this game next year! THANK YOU REMEDY.

I started playing Alan Wake Remastered like 2 days before the announcement by chance. It was the greatest surprise. Thank you for continuing one of my favorite games of all time!

Dude I loved Control so much, I actually used my own gameplay footage for school presentation.

Day 1 purchase from me. Just going through everything Alan Wake right now with my family. Good job guys.

It is so refreshing to see devs love their project this much! I’m so excited!

We can't wait! You guys are one of the most inspiring devs!

Love Remedy and Sam Lake! I just replayed AW remastered again. AW 2 !!!! After so many years it is finally happening. 23 cannot come fast enough so let's skip 22 for ALAN WAKE 2.

Sam, THANK YOU! I am your biggest fan from Max Payne 1. All of your games (Max Payne, Alan Wake, Control) are BRILLIANT AND WONDERFUL GAMES. I playing now in Max Payne 1, buing by me in Steam! And now you give to us Alan Wake 2! It it very happiness for all your fans! Greetings from Russia to you, and thank you, Sam for being you! Thank you for these stories, which touching to the heart.

I absolutely LOVE the atmosphere you can feel amongst all the Remedy team. No wonder you get these AMAZING games as a product. It's made with love on EVERY level, to the tiniest details. Please never stop making games, you guys. And Sam: I admire you very much. You inspire me to be a better person. Thanks a lot for your work 💙 I can barely wait to see the result of all these years🤩🎮

this is so beautiful to watch. i have tears in my eyes... again. thank you so much

Congratulations on your achievement! This announcement made my year!

Sam Lake is undeniably the GOATED creative director in my heart and him saying how he's happy with the way Alan Wake 2 has played out so far thematically and artistically and also casually claiming it would be the best looking Remedy game to have released after making the gorgeously harrowing experience that is Control two years prior has made my entire freaking year tbh. So excited to see what the team brings to the table yet another time!

I have so much faith that you guys will knock this out of the park! Alan wake is my favorite game of all time and I love the world you guys have built, quantum break and control are just as good, so excited to see what you guys have up your sleeves

It was all worth it. The trailer rolled with no introduction and I was only half paying attention thinking 'It's just another game'. And then after about five seconds, I realised just what I was watching and my heart was suddenly beating like a drum and I was trying to stop myself from jumping up in the air (because it was 2am in the UK). I couldn't believe it. I am incredibly excited. Thank you.

This is the perfect time to have become a fan of Alan Wake and Remedy Entertainment- I couldn’t have chosen better. Just three months ago, I decided to return to Alan Wake because I was in the mood for a Survival Horror game, and while I am aware it isn’t one, it always felt like it as a 10-year old with Nyctophobia; even now, 12 years later, it terrifies me. I wanted to wait for a remaster, but it hadn’t been announced yet. After beating it, I still hoped for a remaster, as well as a sequel. One month after downloading it on PC, the remaster was announced, and even though I had just beaten it, I pre-ordered it as soon as I saw pre-orders were available. Now, two months later, the sequel I’ve been wanting to hear about has been announced as well. This is the first game in years I can say that I’m heavily anticipating. As a filmmaking student who so far has two projects inspired by your works (Max Payne and Alan Wake being the inspirations,) and wants to be involved in video game development as well as film, I must say that you are one of the most creative, driven, and all-around best companies in the industry. Keep on keepin’ on!

Thank you for everything. Like many others I grew up with Max Payne and here we stand so many years later as loyal fans. Every new game was a blast. Max Payne 1, one of my favourite games of all time and Control the best game of 2019. I even got the artbook. I was so hooked at the end of the AWE DLC and sure that something ist coming soon. And here we are. Can't wait to see more.

That is the best news of the decade! Love you with all my heart! ~ ❤

I loved the original game so much, I can't wait to see it, take all the time in the world you need to make this and make it the fantastic sequel we all know it can be

i spit out my black coffee when i saw the announcement trailer posted on the subreddit

The whole Remedy team are legends. Thank you for creating some of my favorite games throughout the years and thank you for many more to come!

I’m so happy Alan Wake 2 is finally happening! I’ve been quietly enjoying your games, and brand of storytelling, since Max Payne. Alan Wake has always been a personal favorite. Over all these years I’ve been taking any opportunity to expose friends and loved-ones to the story of Alan Wake in the hopes that they too will understand what makes it so special. Maybe now I will seem less crazy talking up a decade old game now that a sequel is in the works lol. Thank you for all your hard work. Also thank you for sharing your stories with us all.

Alan Wake was my favorite game of the 7th generation. So I was thrilled with that reveal of Alan Wake 2

Awww! 🥺 Sam's passion and love for Alan Wake is amazing. We love you Sam, and Remedy! Thank you!!! I cannot wait for Alan Wake 2, I've been waiting faithfully for 10 years for a sequel, so so excited it's finally coming! ❤️❤️❤️🔦

Still the best news to have come out of this decade

I’m from Russia, Alan wake was my great childhood, I’m so excited for it!!! Thanks remedy for your great work! Thanks Sam)

Very excited for Alan Wake 2, cannot believe it is happening. Thank you.

This comment section is filled with fans and I freaking love it

Big fan of Alan wake. Looking forward to changes from first game .

My favorite game dev studio and Sam Lake is probably my favorite game writer. So glad you guys finally get to make a sequel to AW, and I'm glad I get a chance to play it.

Thank you for everything the past decade, from Quantom Break and Control. Such quality titles, and I recommend every one of them!

Awesome to see Sam so happy about this, I guess sometimes things happen for a reason looks like all the stars are aligned for this game to be really something special. Take your time, we'll be waiting patiently.

This is the last man in the business that takes any pride and joy in his work. I'll follow him to the end of the Earth.

Passion goes a long way when making any art form, especially, video games. Passion is exactly what many AAA developers are lacking in this modern era of gaming. Thank you Remedy, for loving what you do, and fulfilling the dreams of many of us fans.

Hey, Remedy)! I want to say thank you for your games! I’m waiting the AW2 so many years… and now I’m very inspiring by AW2! I remember as I played in The Original Alan Wake on Xbox360 in fall 2010. We wait 2023)!

Imagine being the person in 2012 saying, “please don’t make me wait another 2 years”. And then finding out you’ll actually be waiting another 10.

Man as soon as I heard Alan Wake's voice I lost it I couldn't breathe I was so happy and then BOOM ALAN WAKE II that was the best day of my life

I love and respect you guys so much. You always do your absolute best and craft games with wonderfully wild and interesting stories and unique gameplay, and you love the fans so much. I'm so excited this is actually happening, for a long time I lost hope. Thank you so, so much Remedy. By the way, I heard this is gonna be survival horror. I always looked at the original Alan Wake as being a horror game so this is probably gonna be terrifying and I'm all for it.

It s a one of best new ever We love Alan Wake Thank you Sam💝

Unbelievably ecstatic for this next chapter in the Alan Wake story. As a writer, reader, and fan, I cannot wait to dive back in Cauldron Lake once more. I will be following every development update that makes its way to the interwebs.

To be able to believe that finally Alan Wake 2 is coming is just too unreal but I can pinch myself and see the video again and again to say yes they have announced it finally. Thank you so much Remedy

Devs with real passion and wanting quality of quantity. These are the people who should be getting our money.

Thank you guys for making it. Fuck, it's been so long man !
