Saved from Development Hell: Alan Wake II had attained this status for a while, which was all a matter of "time, money, and resources." Remedy did always intend for there to be a sequel, but it was put on hold as Alan Wake reportedly underperformed and left them insufficiently funded, and Microsoft pushed them to pursuing new projects such as Quantum Break (though some of their loose ideas were able to make it into Alan Wake's American Nightmare). They attempted to re-jumpstart the project in 2017, but that went nowhere as all focus was put towards Control, though they were still very clearly interested in it as Control makes very liberal crossovers with Alan Wake. By 2019, Remedy had bought out the Alan Wake IP from Microsoft, and with Control becoming a bigger financial success, the way to Alan Wake II was paved, and it was officially announced in late 2021 for a 2023 release.
