Alan Wake Finland-based developer Remedy has just put up a job listing seeking a Lead Level Designer to join its “AAA console team” to take on the development of a new Xbox 360 title. The listing goes on to describe this prospective project as having a strong focus on “compelling narrative and intense action” asking for interested applicants to hold a strong sense of “drama and storytelling”.
Alan Wake hit the Xbox 360 and it delivered a very fresh and original experience that was tied up neatly in a very well-written story; we reviewed it and gave it the highest possible recommendation and rating. And while Remedy hasn’t “officially” stated that they’re working on Alan Wake 2, such a job listing indicates that they’re either: in fact working on said sequel or looking into bringing another story-heavy IP into the market. We’ll just have to wait and see and hopefully we’ll be shining our flashlights in Bright Falls once more; or maybe a new setting altogether.
