Remedy explains absence of Alan Wake sequel

Remedy creative director Sam Lake has taken to YouTube to explain why his studio is developing a new IP rather than an Alan Wake sequel.

Yesterday at Microsoft’s Xbox One reveal, Remedy announced a new IP by the name of Quantum Break, but many were hoping for Alan Wake 2.

“After the first game, we worked hard to make the sequel happen,” said Lake.

Ubisoft had a great financial year thanks to Far Cry 3 and Assassin’s Creed III

Sales of Far Cry 3 and Assassin’s Creed III sent Ubisoft profits soaring in the last financial year, the company has revealed.

Last week the French publisher and developer announced that it shipped 12 million copies of Assassin’s Creed III and six million of Far Cry 3 on its way to sales of €1.256 billion (AU$1.65 billion) and an operating income of €100.3 million (AU$131.73 million).

That meant overall revenue was up 18.3% from the 2012 financial year, and Ubisoft stock rose about 10 per cent as a result.
