Remedy, the developer behind Alan Wake, has confirmed to Eurogamer that the main character from its psychological thriller is set to make a comeback. However,he will not return in a sequel.

"Fans of the franchise will be excited to learn that yes, more Wake is coming! But to be absolutely certain to avoid confusion, this next Wake instalment will not be Alan Wake 2. And neither will it be DLC,"teased Remedy's Oskari Hakkinen. "The rest we're saving for our official announcement when we'll actually show you."

The rumour floating around is that Remedy has dedicated a portion of its team to developing the project in the past few months. Could this mean Alan Wake is going to get the Kinect treatment?

"It's something that'll definitely give more to the Wake fans out there, but just as importantly, this instalment will also give an opportunity for players who aren't familiar with the franchise to finally jump on board," Hakkinen added. "We can't wait to show you more, bear with us. Release dates, platforms and pricing are unconfirmed as of yet, but fall 2011 is probably a good guess."

Well we're baffled that it's not Alan Wake 2 and it's not DLC, We guess we'll just have to wait and find out.
