Скачать или смотреть Between Reality and Nightmare: Alan Wake II World Building with Remedy Entertainment

Join us for an event with artists from Remedy Entertainment as they break down the world-building of Alan Wake II—from the eerie depths of the Dark Place to the grounded Pacific Northwest setting of Watery.

Lead Environment Artist Anne-Lynn Sottas and Senior Environment Artist Jeremy Cerisy take us behind the scenes of the game’s unique approach to level design, sharing how they crafted its two distinct realities: the nightmarish, shifting landscapes of Alan’s New York and the moody, atmospheric environments of Saga’s Pacific Northwest.

The talk explores the full creative pipeline, from early preproduction—including moodboards, screenplays, and art bibles—to final in-game locations like Suomi Hall and the Oceanview Hotel. Anne-Lynn and Jeremy break down their process for balancing narrative-driven world-building with gameplay needs, as well as the challenges of developing Alan Wake II’s signature mechanics, such as Reality Rewriting and the Lightshift system. They also discuss how their approach to environment art evolved from Control’s stark brutalist aesthetic to Alan Wake II’s organic, detail-rich world.

Whether you're a fan of the game or an aspiring environment artist, this is a great opportunity to learn directly from the team that helped shape Alan Wake II.
