This Quantum Break Easter Egg completely explains Alan Wake. (Kinda)

News
By published

Quantum Break may well have one of the most obvious Easter eggs of all time - an attempt to explain Alan Wake, the horror adventure that developers Remedy also made.

It would seem Remedy REALLY wants you to remember that. But it also means that Alan Wake (or at least the character) exists in the same universe as Quantum Break. Here you can see lecture notes about him and his books but there are also other references to his work in the TV segments that act as a bridge between the chapters in the game.

Executive Producer, GR Video

Hi I'm James or JJ if you like, I'll answer to both. I'm the Executive producer for GR video which means I've had at least a part in all the hot moving pictures you'll find on the site (even if that part was just saying, yes that's a good video). I also produce the Future Games Show and Golden Joystick Awards. Away from the office you'll either find me playing Fortnite, or walking my dog. I'm better at one than the other, I'll let you decide which.
