- 6 Alan Wake 2 Direct sequel. Saga Anderson shares the lead with Alan.

About Remedy Connected Universe
Remedy connects Alan Wake and Control in a single universe, where the Federal Bureau of Control files the Bright Falls incident as one of its Altered World Events.
Quantum Break sits outside the official canon since Microsoft owns the rights, but this play order includes it so the full Remedy shelf reads in one pass.
Good to know
CONTROL Resonant releases September 24, 2026 with Dylan Faden as the lead, and it is listed below as the current endpoint.
Play the 2021 remaster of Alan Wake rather than hunting down the 2010 disc.
