First Control 2 Teaser May Have Just Been Revealed Thanks to an Optional Scene in Alan Wake 2’s New DLC – IGN
The connections within Remedy’s shared universe continue to grow strong amid the release of Alan Wake 2’s new DLC, titled the Lake House. Included in the DLC is what looks like a pretty substantial teaser for Control 2, the upcoming sequel to the cult favorite supernatural horror game. You can watch the full scene in the video below.
Spoiler warning: This video contains spoilers for both the Lake House DLC and possibly Control 2.
The optional scene near the end of The Lake House DLC features FBC Investigations Agent Kiran Estevez being transported first to the Oceanview Motel and then to Panaopticon in The Oldest House — the setting for the original Control. There she has an extended conversation with Control protagonist Jesse Faden’ brother — Dylan Faden — who offers a glimpse into what lies in store for the future of the Remedy-verse.
Remedy hasn’t been shy about the connections between Alan Wake and Control as it continues to build its shared universe. Earlier this year, the studio teamed up with Annapurna to fund movies set within its universe, and it has continued to talk up the connections between the two series. Control 2, for its part, was first announced back in 2022, with director Mikael Kasurinen saying it will be an “unexpected journey.” Remedy is also working on the recently-announced FBC Firebreak, a three-player co-op game set to release in 2025.
In the meantime, Remedy is busy wrapping up Alan Wake 2, which was one of the best-reviewed games of 2023. The Lake House DLC is the second set of Alan Wake 2 downloadable content, pitting FBC agent Estevez (Janina Gavankar) against a series of supernatural horror. It’s out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
