Bij ontwikkelaar Remedy zien ze een vervolg op Alan Wake wel zitten. Dat bevestigt Mikko Rautalahti van Remedy op het officiële forum van Alan Wake: "it's certainly no secret that we'd love to make a second one if the first one does well."

Toch verschenen er de laatste dagen enkele kritische reviews over de game. Is dat geen domper op de feestvreugde? Rautalahti op het forum: "Clearly, it's been a critical success; the fact that some people feel differently about it doesn't change the fact that of the scores listed in the first post of this thread, there are eight perfect scores, and over 40 give us a 9 or a better. Only 7 reviews have given us a score of less than 8. That tells us in no uncertain terms that there's a lot of love for Alan Wake out there, and we'd have to be complete goddamn idiots to not be satisfied with that. I mean, sure, the next time, we definitely hope to top that, it's nice to have something to aim for, but we're pretty damn far from disappointed." Nu enkel nog de verkoopcijfers.
