14 DAY TRIAL // Oskari Hakkinen, the leader of franchise development at Remedy, says that Alan Wake has become a cult video game experience and that the series has managed to move more than 2 million copies to fans.
The executive tells CVG that, “So after a slow start it’s turning into something really positive. It’s definitely had legs. I think narrative experiences just have a tendency for that.”
He adds, “People who have played and enjoyed the story feel the urge to tell their friends and other gamers out there that they need to try this experience, they need to play it.”
Alan Wake was a high-concept game that allowed the player to explore the limits of fiction and question how reality worked, while also fighting enemies using survival horror mechanics.
The two games in the series have been launched on the Xbox 360 and the PC and a new title might be linked to the next generation of devices from Microsoft.
