The developer behind Alan Wake has confirmed it is beavering away on a new title codenamed P7, and what’s more, it’s working on bringing the project to the PlayStation 4.
Previously, the Finnish studio has had a long-standing relationship with Microsoft’s Xbox family, with Alan Wake and Quantum Break being console exclusives to Xbox 360 and Xbox One, respectively. However, with P7, the studio is looking to branch out to ‘a wider range of platforms,’ hence the reason it’s also bringing the Northlight Engine to the PS4.
Quantum Break was the first title to utilise this technology, which proved to be a huge success for Remedy, with the company earning €16.4 million during its last financial year. Remedy previously hinted that Alan Wake 2 could end up on the PS4 if Microsoft doesn’t pick up the sequel, but so far nothing has been confirmed.
Prior to its close work with Microsoft, Remedy worked on the hugely successful Max Payne franchise for the PS2 and Xbox, beginning with the original stylish, bullet time-fused action title in 2001. The studio also worked on the 2003 sequel, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, before selling the rights to the series to Take-Two Interactive. Rockstar Games would take over the development reins for the 2012 follow-up, Max Payne 3.
