Remedy: Microsoft doesn’t want to make Quantum Break or Alan Wake sequels

We also discussed it a bit in this thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/gi-biz-how-remedy-is-taking-control-of-its-own-destiny.55829

Both games felt lacking for me which is quite sad after i spent full price on them and bought them day-one. I wish them best of luck on Control, but i really feel burned out on Remedy games so i doubt i'll be there day one.

Yep pretty much. This is why I say screw Microsoft and Phil Spencer. They are so out of touch with what their fans want. Instead here have some more Halo, Gears, and Forza and this bland open world game with Terry Crews. Give me a break..
It was obviously the case up to this point, I had just hoped there was a chance after their recent course correction that we might be seeing something early next gen that they were putting into production more or less now.
Couldn't care less about Alan Wake 2.
And Control looks like a Quantum Break sequel in spirit, so I am fine with that.

I can understand that QB might not have been as successful as MS wanted it to be, but I thought Alan Wake sold well enough to afford sequel. Any chances Remedy will take IPs back?
Going to the original source and reading the interview is probably a better idea

I always forget QB was a console exclusive, probably because I played it with a dualshock 4.
Yeah... plus again for the 1000th time. Remedy OWNS the Alan Wake IP. They can make a game if they wanted to make it I guess.
I'm no expert on Remedy's financials but I assume they would need someone else to fund it?
Nice one Microsoft, of all the IP you decide to not continue, it's the one with a competent studio behind it that managed develop a well-reviewed, million selling game.
Once again, great fucking job.
People loved Alan Wake, and it ended on one of the biggest cliffhangers since Halo 2. Not developing a sequel is criminal.

Yeah, Remedy can ask anyone else to finance it if they wanted to make it.
Remedy can do it with someone else.

Out of touch? Quantum Break bombed and Alan Wake wasn't a smash hit, either. Seems like the "fans" spoke with their wallet. Sure, they could give them another go, but it would be a shot in the dark, it's not like everyone is asking for a new Alan Wake.
Lol, how? Developing AW is not cheap, it's a AAA title. If MS isn't backing them, then who will? Keep in mind MS still has publishing rights so it would have to remain exclusive to Xbox. What 3rd party publisher is going to sink 100 million dollars into a single-player game, exclusive to one system, that doesn't have the support of the exclusive system manufacturer?
Wasn't Alan Wake successful? You would think they would try and make games that the Xbox fanbase want. This seems to be an easy one.
All Remedy games universes are interveined :)
QB<>Alan Wake<>Max Payne
Basically cause MS is interested in online games and games as a service mostly. It helps them sell and justify their Xbox Live subscription and GaaS just tend to be more profit heavy when analized % wise and over time.
I dislike this type of thinking, but its were every publisher is going. I loved both Alan Wake and Quantum, but what publisher would invest in making them knowing a random GaaS game may almost guaranteea better return on investment. Sadly, its the way the industry is, and we consumers have driven it that way by not buying single player games not made by Sony.
Looking forward to Remedy's Control, and will def buy it day one.

Do they need Microsoft for Alan Wake 2, though? Just go with whoever is willing to fund it. I don't need it to be an insanely high budget title, AA would be good enough. Just give me Alan Wake. :(
Focus Home or THQ Nordic, please save us.

Microsoft: "Remedy doesn't want to make Alan Wake 2."
Remedy: "Microsoft doesn't want to make Alan Wake 2."
Yeah, I'm sticking with my "Microsoft was willing to do it but wanted the IP in return" inference.

Okay, thanks. So again, if they wanted to create an overarching universe with both titles, they would need Microsoft for that since MS owns the IP for Quantum Break. I haven't played QB but the quote in the first thread states there are easter eggs in QB alluding to it being in the same universe as Alan Wake.
No way! I haven't heard that Max Payne is in the same universe. Are there easter eggs to be found in Alan Wake or Max Payne?
Alan Wake IS Remedy IP so If they want to make a sequel It's Up to them
And Spencer already Said it's up to Remedy.

on the other hand Quantum Break IS MS IP So If MS Want a sequel it's Better to be with one of their Studios because of the Full Funding and more money for them

QB bombed, Alan Wake didn't sell a lot and fans are asking for more Forza, Gears and Halo and MS is delivering.
Give me a break.
Need Alan Wake 2.
I guess there's still a possibility after Control? Glad they're doing a multi-platform release.

Unless they can cram in online multiplayer or mtx MS ain't interested.
