Remedy Entertainment has acquired the publishing rights to Alan Wake, the supernatural horror it originally developed exclusively for Microsoft’s Xbox 360.
As detailed in a report from Global Newswire, Remedy has just received a one-time payment of 2.5 million euros for royalties on previously-released games. “In relation to this, the publishing rights of Alan Wake games are reverted to Remedy,” says the announcement.
Interestingly, earlier this year Remedy explained that it actually owns the rights to the Alan Wake IP, but that “it’s never quite as simple as that.” With this development, it would appear that while Remedy owned the IP, the publishing rights lay solely with Microsoft, and so it would not have been easy for the studio to simply make a sequel. With both the IP and publishing rights now in its hands, it may be that things are much more simple for Remedy to revisit the world of Bright Falls.
