The last hint we could tease out of this teaser was a tiny detail in the moments we see of Bright Falls. The new game is also going to be set post- Control DLC, where Alan made an appearance, though Remedy states that playing that story isn’t required for understanding Alan Wake 2. Scratch, who torments our writer, who himself was in the Dark Place beneath a lake (or is it an ocean?). Without getting too deep into spoilers or lore, based on the conclusion of Alan Wake, that final face likely doesn’t belong to Alan himself, but rather to his doppelganger, dubbed Mr.

He turns around, holding up a light, claiming that “This story will eat you alive.” As he turns and reveals his face, Alan whispers the final line: “This story is a monster, and monsters wear many faces.” We’re treated to a flash of Alan’s face, cheeks, and bared teeth splattered with blood before the title drops.

Alan finishes his monologue as the camera reveals that the figure we’ve been drawn to is, in fact, Alan Wale himself. The camera continues to pull in as the scene warps once again to a street in Bright Falls, the location where Alan Wake took place, before shifting back to the city location. Alan begins a monologue about stories as the scene shifts to a city street, possibly New York, on a rainy night, with that same figure remaining in the scene. There’s a dead body on a wooden or stone table and a shadowy figure in the distance. It opens on a taped-off crime scene in the woods that looks very much like a location from the first game. The announcement trailer is brief but has some interesting details hidden within it.
