October is set to be a busy month for gamers, and while many great titles are launching in quick succession, Alan Wake 2 has managed to garner a lot of attention. Remedy's sequel to 2010's Alan Wake will continue the fight for everyone's favorite horror author while introducing a new character. With the latest IGN exclusive confirming that the game would usher in the era of Remedy's Connected Universe (RCU), many have questioned whether this game will connect to Control 2.

Sam Lake, the creative director and writer of Alan Wake 2, the face model of the character Alex Casie and a coffee enthusiast confirmed its ties with Control 2. In a recent interview with WCCFTech, Lake confirmed Alan Wake 2 to lay the groundwork for the upcoming Control 2. This confirms that their plans for the Remedy Connected Universe are in motion.

"Yeah. It's interesting. We did that very clearly with Control, especially with the AWE DLC, when we set things up," he said. The thing Lake is talking about is the AWE expansion for Control. In it, they officially confirmed that The Alan Wake and Control universes take place in the same timeline, in this case Alan's experience at Bright Falls is an altered world experience that the FBC (Federal Bureau of Control) of Control learns about.

"We have publicly announced that we are working on Control 2, and as you saw, FBC plays a key role in the Alan Wake 2 story." He ends the answer by saying that while they aren't confirming anything, they are setting things up for future RCU titles. The interview also covers some interesting questions about the upcoming Alan Wake 2 and Control 2 games.
