I wish more people realised this. Alan Wake 1 sold really poorly, but Sam Lake and Remedy had really really wanted to make a sequel forever and literally no other publisher would touch the franchise. They tried to talk Microsoft into it but got funding refused and had to make Quantum Break instead.
Epic was their only chance to get to do their passion project, it’s not like I can blame them.
There are 2 pretty massive Alan Wake easter eggs in Quantum Break actually! Sam Lake and co were working on ideas for the sequel in the background even when the publisher weren’t interested.
Also I think the integrated TV show in Quantum Break taught Remedy a lot of valuable lessons for live-action work, that you can say they then perfected in Control and (especially) Alan Wake 2.
This could be a rare day-1 buy for me, assuming they’re not doing the Epic exclusive bullshit.
Edit: The Steam page is already up, so that’s good.
To be fair to Remedy they only partnered with Epic to get them to fund AW2, it was either a GameStore exclusive or no game to release.
Glad to see this on steam though.

Exactly this. I didn’t like it but I held my nose for it and it was worth it.
Same, as long as it’s not 70 eurodollars
