Polygon has an internal video prototype for Alan Wake 2, saying this is the most polished sample Remedy used to shop around the idea of an Alan Wake sequel for publishers. They also have thoughts from Remedy's Sam Lake on what they had planned for follow-ups to the original game, and some of that ended up in Alan Wake's American Nightmare. All this makes it sound like they are giving up on Alan Wake 2, but he says that's not the case. "The thing that made this idea of releasing this prototype demo OK is that it is very much on a high level," Lake explains. "There are no spoilers in it. That being said, I do hope we get an opportunity to work on Alan Wake 2. I want to do more Wake at some point."
