Rumors of an Alan Wake sequel have been circling about since ... well, since Alan Wake and its DLC expansions left the door wide open for one. But also since the phrase "Alan Wake 2" first appeared on an artist's resume back in May. Developer Remedy confirmed with Joystiq that it was working on more Wake, though "this next Wake installment will not be Alan Wake 2," it said. "But neither will it be DLC." How appropriately mysterious! And now a rumor from Xbox World magazine says that Remedy is indeed working on Alan Wake 2, for the next-gen Xbox.

"We hear a number of Microsoft-friendly developers are hard at work on prepping next gen games as we speak. Could this be the reason why Remedy are so quiet about Alan Wake 2? (Yes)," the magazine responded to itself. "Rare, Lionhead and Turn 10 all have teams in place too. Rare, we hear, are even prototyping ideas for a new 'mature title,'" the mag adds.

We spoke with Microsoft Studios chief Phil Spencer at E3 this year, who said he read about the project on Joystiq and had no involvement with it at that time. "I think the stuff they're doing now they wanted to incubate, Mattias and the team," Spencer said. "They wanted to incubate internally. Like I said, I don't think they've signed it with anybody." Spencer also insisted that Microsoft Studios had no next-gen games in development and was instead completely focused on Xbox 360 and Kinect software.

I started playing Alan Wake recently.

The protagonist must always be awesome / someone I can relate to in order for me to get into the game. But the first scene where he was being a douche to his wife I stopped playing.

(Ok in all fairness, I don't like scary games/movies where stuff jump out at you. :o )
 
I'm almost done with the game, on the last mission and I have loved every bit of it!!
The story is excellent and I love the whole narrating thing they have going on, I prefer this game to Heavy Rain!

So I will definitely be getting Alan Wake 2!
 
I really enjoyed the game. It had a very Stephen King vibe. The next gen console at best will only appear in 2014.. that's a long time to wait, but I guess we sure did wait a while before the first game was released.
 
Still have not finished this but loved style and atmosphere. I should scratch through the pile of shame and get that disc turning.
 
I really enjoyed this game. The gameplay may have been a little repetitive but the narrative was great! Hope the sequel can improve on its predecessor's mistakes.
