Microsoft has told CVG to "wait and see" if it's got a future Alan Wake sequel up its sleeve - as it calls the upcoming game "something you've never experienced before".
The psychological adventure is on track for release in the spring, and has the Xbox 360 community buzzing for its arrival.
"It's unique and gripping story - heavily influenced by pop culture classics - is brought to life using techniques reminiscent of modern movies and TV shows," Microsoft product marketing manager Laura Disney told CVG.
"The goal of Alan Wake is create an intense experience for the player, and though 'psychological thriller' might not be a genre we are used to applying to games, Alan Wake is definitely not something you've experienced before."
