Trademark Filing Hints At Alan Wake Sequel

Alan Wake was the last big game that Remedy Entertainment released a few years ago. Now that it’s gearing up to launch Quantum Break in the near future there’s speculation about a possible Alan Wake sequel. A trademark application has been spotted online which hints that the developer might be thinking about releasing a new title in the Alan Wake franchise.

A trademark application for “Alan Wake’s Return” has been spotted online but given that Remedy Entertainment hasn’t confirmed anything at this point in time this could all be an elaborate hoax.

The filing does appear to be legitimate as it goes through to a Remedy account which was used to register trademarks for Max Payne, Bright Falls and Alan Wake. Nevertheless, since there’s no official confirmation, the possibility of a sequel remains a rumor for now.

It’s interesting to see that Microsoft is offering Alan Wake for free for the Xbox One through backwards compatibility to everyone who purchases a copy of Quantum Break. This looks like an effort to refresh people’s memory that the Alan Wake franchise exists and could very well be a launchpad for creating hype for the sequel.

Remedy Entertainment hasn’t dropped any hints yet if this is going to happen so we’ll have to wait and see if it really does decide to do another Alan Wake game.
