It's not even out yet, but Remedy Entertainment is already talking Alan Wake DLC and sequels. Given the game's uncomfortable resemblance to the critical catastrophe that was Alone in the Dark, Remedy's confidence is either reassuring or naive. I can't wait to find out which one it is.

Anyway, the developer is currently looking to expand the brand with an additional two DLC episodes in 2010, with the scope of subsequent episodes dependent on the reception of these.

"I think it'll depend a lot on the audience, but certainly we want to -- if we're successful -- we want to do a large 'Season 2,' if you will, at some point," says managing director Matias Myllyrinne in an interview with Joystiq. "Right now, I'm not allowed to say what we're doing exactly this year. But we're going to have more than one episode come out this year."

Alan Wake is set to release on 18 May.
