The viral notion still has enough supporters, despite the fact that there hasn’t been any formal confirmation of it. 

Additionally, Remedy’s creative director Sam Lake discussed Alan Wake 2 as a metaphor for the company’s history and future goals in a recent interview. All of these intriguing thoughts appear to fit the fan base now that we have official word on the Max Payne remake. 

It is important to note that considering the game is in the production stage, fans will have to remain patient to experience the first look at the remake. Meanwhile, following the reception of their latest title, the expectations from the Max Payne remake will be sky-high!
