Remedy Entertainment reiterates that its long-awaited survival horror sequel is making good progress behind the scenes and will launch this year.
The third-person shooter released in August 2019 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC before coming to Xbox Series X/S and PS5 with the Ultimate Edition.
Starting with Alan Wake 2 in 2023, Remedy Entertainment plans to release a new game ever year, on top of "additional free and paid content."
Remedy says the game, which is due out sometime this year, will soon be content-complete, following which the developer will shift focus to polishing the experience.
However, those familiar with the Remedy Connected Universe will find plenty of "connections, pieces of lore, and familiar characters".
Along with no new content and servers closing down, access to Remedy Entertainment's single-player "Operations" is also being removed.
"Gameplay, narrative, atmosphere, music – it’s all singing from the same hymn sheet," says game director Kyle Rowley.
"I feel like I never left Alan Wake behind. There was always the full intention to return to him," says creative director Sam Lake.
Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that Codename Heron is a "full-blown" sequel to Control, and it's being co-developed and co-published with 505 Games.
Codename Condor is a spin-off of the Control series, while Heron is a "bigger budget" Control title. Vanguard is a F2P title developed with Tencent.
Remedy CEO Tero Virtala says, "There is still a lot of work to be done, but the game is coming together on all fronts."

Here are the details on the newest major update to CrossfireX, which brings new maps, new guns, and other general improvements.
"We have decided to keep the game codenamed Vanguard longer in the current proof-of-concept phase and postpone the significant expansion of the development team until the year 2023," says CEO Tero Vir...
Writer and creative director Sam Lake shares a brief update on the writing process of Remedy Entertainment's upcoming survival horror sequel.
The Remedy Connected Universe is an interesting premise, and worth diving into now that Alan Wake 2 is just looming over the horizon.
Codename Vanguard and Condor are in the proof-of-concept stage with the former making "good progress" since the last quarter.
No royalty revenue earned from Alan Wake Remastered in Q1 2022 due to Epic Games having yet to "recoup its development and marketing expenses."
In a recent investor call, Remedy CEO Tero Virtala explains the reason why the company decided to work with Rockstar Games to remake the first two Max Payne games.
Additionally, Remedy has also released some new concept art for Alan Wake 2 which showcases the stunning art direction for this sequel.
