Behind the Scenes: Introducing the Anderson Saga
What is the story of Alan Wake 2?
13 years have passed since the disappearance of Alan Wake in the town of Bright Falls. Now, a series of gruesome ritual murders is taking place at that very location, and the FBI is sent to investigate. One of the agents in charge is Saga Anderson, who discovers that what is happening is written in the pages of the missing writer, a desperate attempt by him to escape from the dark place in which he finds himself.
According to Remedy, the new inspirations behind the game’s story and setting are the series True Detective and the movie Seven: The Seven Deadly Sins.
The two characters of Alan Wake 2
In this game we are going to control both Alan and Saga, who are in separate realities. The stories of both will be separated and we can play them in any order to experience the events of the story from two different perspectives. Of course, the introduction can only be played with Saga and the ending is only available with Alan.
Saga Anderson is a detective and mother who stands out for her empathy and great ability to analyze the cases she works on to find answers. She is played by actress Melanie Liburd (This is Us, The Idol).
Alan will once again be physically played by the Finnish actor Ilka Villi, who we have also seen in the series. Bordertown. His voice in English will once again be that of Matthew Porretta (Dr. Casper Darling in Control).
What will the gameplay be like?
Alan Wake 2 is described as a ‘survival horror’ and psychological horror game. Unlike the original game, which was heavily focused on action, this one will seek to scare and stress players more with its story and mechanics.
One of the most important novelties will be Saga’s ‘mental palace’. This is a place without enemies that we can enter at any time while we play with her. This is a representation of the protagonist’s thoughts and from there we can connect clues to solve the mystery. Another new element will be the dialogue options in conversations. We don’t yet know if this will alter the story or gameplay.
What will not change will be the use of the flashlight, which we must focus on the enemies so that they become vulnerable to attacks with firearms. This will consume batteries so we must be in constant search not only for ammunition, but for batteries. Another returning item will be Alan’s manuscript pages as collectibles. If we find them we can get an idea of what will happen later in the story.
What is the relationship of Alan Wake 2 con Control?
As we already know, these two games and Quantum Break take place in the same shared universe, known as the Remedy Connected Universe.
Playing Control we find out that Alan Wake’s disappearance is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Control and the writer contacts protagonist Jesse Faden from the Dark Place to help her deal with a horror who escaped from Cauldron Lake and is found in the Ancient House in the DLC AWE. We have already we dedicate an article to the link between both games y part of our in-depth analysis.
There are rumors that the Federal Bureau of Control will be involved in the events of Alan Wake 2 from the shadows and that we could even have an appearance by Jesse Faden, the protagonist of Control. This, of course, is not confirmed.
the other version of Alan Wake 2 (prototype)
In 2010, shortly after the release of the first game, Remedy Entertainment developed a prototype for what could be the sequel to that title. This one explores new mechanics and ideas that they were interested in implementing.
Although that version of the game did not come to fruition, the prototype survived. You can see 13 minutes of gameplay of this in the following video, courtesy of Polygon
Why was this version cancelled? Sam Lake, director of Remedy Entertainment, explained that they presented this idea to Microsoft so that Alan Wake 2 it could be one of the Xbox One launch games. Sadly, Microsoft didn’t show much interest and asked them to create a new original game instead. that’s how he was born Quantum Break.
