"I would love that to happen," Lake said. "Nothing has happened yet, but we are discussing this possibility with Microsoft.

"I hope it happens, we'll see."

If it happens, that port would likely include the post-release DLC as well, Lake said.

While the franchise is owned by Remedy, Microsoft published the original title. I asked Lake what the chances were of the original game showing up on the PlayStation 4 or Wii U as well.

"Highly unlikely," he said.

Earlier this week, Remedy Entertainment released to Polygon a video of the 2010 prototype created to pitch Alan Wake 2 to a number of publishers. That game never happened, but in an interview Lake said that once Quantum Break wraps up, the studio would love to return to Alan Wake to make a sequel.

ALAN WAKE SHOWING UP ON THE PS4 IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE FOR THE GAME'S SEQUEL.

If Microsoft doesn't pick up the Alan Wake 2 sequel for the Xbox One, that doesn't mean it won't see the light of day. Today's publishing road can completely circumvent big companies like Microsoft thanks to the likes of Kickstarter and Steam's Greenlight. And both Alan Wake and the follow-up, non-sequel American Nightmare showed up on Windows PC.

And Lake said Remedy isn't ruling those out.

"Ultimately, these things are business decisions," he said. "We are definitely not ruling anything out and looking at different opportunities, but nothing is set in stone at the moment."

And there's even the possibility that the sequel could go to a platform that didn't have the original game.

"When it comes to sequels it's our thing, we can do whatever makes sense and what's best for the franchise overall," Lake said. "But obviously it depends on many different things. I think that regardless of the platform, a good sequel — while it continues the story of the original one — it's still something that someone who hasn't played the original one can enjoy and jump on board and dive into the setting and the world and enjoy themselves.

"It's not like a potential sequel of Alan Wake would be only something that someone who has already played everything in the Alan Wake franchise can enjoy."

Alan Wake for Smash!

I liked Alan Wake and American Nightmare and I buy my fair share of rereleases but an Alan Wake remaster would flop HARD.

Well MSFT has first dibs on Alan Wake 2 publishing and Sam Lake and Phil Spencer is good friends. Id be willing to bet theyll come to an agreement since theyre already talking about the port+Quantum Break.

Good news, hopefully Microsoft pick up Alan wake 2 as well they could use it.

Even if it was a $25 digital title? Just an upscale and minor graphical updates? Edit: They could just port over the pc version... I'm on holiday ok! So is my brain! 

I'd sadly buy it again even though I'm generally against re-releases. 

Tbh he is probably right.  Id buy it too, but i dont know how many people would rebuy it like me and you.  Still hope they do it though

Its not the kind of game I want to replay, the combat got boring and the only thing pushing me forward was the story.  I just want the sequel already.

Never played the original Alan Wake but it looks good. Kinda hope the sequel is exclusive to Xbox though.

Definitely good news! Easily one of my favorite 360 games!
