Sam Lake was supposed to take half a year after the completion of AW2

The creative director of the Finnish studio tool visited the journalist Christopher Dring in the podcast of the game business and spoke about the development of games and his future. Of course, the last name Alan Wake 2, which was published in October 2023, had much attention, but received two floor extensions last year, and only a few months ago, development and marketing were finally paid.

The lake in the podcast says that the creation of a long -awaited continuation cost it a lot of effort. In addition to writing the script, he took care of the general direction, a living action movie, wrote texts of songs, and also played several roles.

“When he begins to work such a large production, he is not built around one person. Therefore, if you want to do all this, you must be flexible, you must adapt, and you need to work as a crazy one to achieve this ” – He stated on Lake Podkastov. “It was worth it, but there was a lot. There are always problems with creative vision, facts of production, time plan, budget and scale. In the end, I worked a lot of nights and weekends. ”

Nevertheless, the lake does not regret his efforts and says that he will not change anything. He is proud of what they could create. “But I had to take a vacation. I was not about six months. And now I feel much better. ”

However, the famous Finnish creator does not intend to disappear anywhere, although he recently received a prize in his life on GDC. Of course, he is not the only creative director in medicines, Michael Kasurinen is working on Control 2, and he made AW2 with Kail Rowley, but still has a large word in all projects.

At the moment, he is most pleased with the collaboration with Annapurnaya, who was agreed on last summer. Last year, the American company committed itself to partially finance the development of Control 2, while it herself received the rights to cinema, the series and other audiovisual adaptation of games in the universe associated with drugs. It is no secret that the project is already being created in this cooperation, but we do not know exactly what it is.

Then the protective agent completes the cooperative shooter FBC: Firebreak, which arrives on June 17, and continues not only at the aforementioned control 2, but also to remove the first and second Max Payne. At the early stage of development, there is a completely new, not yet marked project.
