Not that anyone expected a game connected to Control and Alan Wake to be a jolly ol' time, but Remedy has confirmed it's next game will be "very dark and serious."

In a new mini-documentary, Remedy communications director Thomas Puha briefly spoke on the studio's next game, which ties into both Control and Alan Wake.

"All of our games have been so dark and melancholy, so now we're only going to use yellow, and red, and pink, like you're literally walking into a candy store," Puha joked. "No, it's going to be really dark and serious."

In an accompanying blog post from Epic, the publisher said it's "too early to shed light on Remedy's next games," but said the studio has a "robust and exciting vision." We already know we're getting the long-awaited Control/Alan Wake crossover in the former's next DLC - you can check out a whole 15 minutes of gameplay for the Control: AWE expansion - and it's also been confirmed that Remedy is currently working two new games looking towards next-gen.
