and now she looks like this

They didnt change the games script though and have her still be of Nordic origins.

She looks better now.

Besides, the MCU already taught us that Black ancestry and Nordic ancestry are the same thing.

Quantum Break isn't quite as connected.

The bit up there is right at the beginning in a promo tent for Wake's book, and there's a bit of mention of the Bureau of Control in some of the files.

Meanwhile Control went whole hog on connections to Wake, not as much QB.

Well one of these people love Remedy and Sam Lake is because they create these interconnected worlds. Theres no doubt teasers in Alan Wake 2 that will pay off in Control 2 or whatever game is coming next.

I mean, Alan Wake has rewritten reality multiple times by this point, I mean the protagonist and antagonist of Control was one person in the original timeline and in his game he changed the entire town from being lakeside to being oceanside.

Not a Remedy game. They're getting to do MP 1 and 2 Remakes though, so I'm hoping for some overt connection retroactively.

No Im not under that impression. Ill elaborate though, Saga Anderson was originally set to be portrayed and voiced by Finnish actress Malla Malmivaara before the character was race swapped to African American but the character retains the Finnish ancestry.

Um, pretty sure she wasn't "set" to portray a protagonist in Alan Wake 2 just because she was in an Easter egg in Quantum Break.

Do you also think Ilkka Villi was set to voice Alan and got replaced by Matthew Poretta?

Remedy gave up on Max Payne and refuse to elaborate or talk about it. The only thing we know is Remedy was going to close doors, but instead decided to go on by selling the license to Rockstar, who immediately buried it after 3. They cannot retroactively attach any of their modern "universe" backwards to Max Payne, as much as I'm sure it kills Sam Lake.

Quantum Break, Alan Wake, Control and Alan Wake 2 are more or less the same narrative/world.

It does feel a little disappointing to be "drunk guy who slows time" when the other guy is "sober guy who outright controls time," to be fair.

They owned it for enough time to get a nod in Control, but it doesn't have the same level as Alan Wake. Microsoft owns the rights to it officially.

It's a bit of a shame that the decades long plan to make a cohesive multi-game narrative failed completely with so many financial woes. Funny enough, Alan Wake 2 only happened because Epic dumped a hilarious amount of money into it. 100% expect there to be legal trouble on Alan Wake licensing in 1-5 years with Epic just like MP And QB.
