10 Video Games You Had No Idea Were Sequels

10. Control Is A Sequel To Alan Wake

Remedy Entertainment certainly loves including Easter eggs nodding to their previous games, though in their most recent release Control, they made a fascinatingly direct series of connections to their cult fave action-adventure game Alan Wake.

The most concrete confirmation that Control is a stealth-sequel to Alan Wake can be found by reading a file in the Federal Bureau of Control entitled "The Bright Falls Incident."

Bright Falls is the small Washington town where the events of Alan Wake took place, and the report refers explicitly to events from that game as Altered World Events (AWE), confirming that Control is indeed an in-universe follow-up.

Control's subsequent AWE DLC further suggested the allusions to Alan Wake weren't mere Easter eggs, and Remedy then confirmed that both games were indeed part of a shared world called the Remedy Connected Universe.

As such it's looking increasingly likely that the upcoming Alan Wake II will further bridge the gap between the two franchises, regardless of when it takes place in relation to Control.
