Alan Wake Remastered could feature references to other Remedy games, according to the studio’s communications director.

When asked if Alan Wake Remastered would include references to link it to the Remedy Connected Universe, Remedy’s communications director Thomas Puha told Axios (via The Gamer) that fans should "definitely pay attention [when] playing the remaster." 

Remedy's storytelling spreads across its recent games, and although previous titles Quantum Break and Control are stand-alone games, both are said to be set in the same universe and contain small references to each other. Alan Wake got its own reference in the Control DLC, so it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine that the remaster will also feature some kind of nod to the studio’s previous games. 

Recently, Remedy confirmed that Alan Wake Remastered will be stripped of the original game's product placement. That makes it sound as though Remedy is open to removing, or in this case, potentially adding content to the original game in the remastered version.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
