While Alan Wake 2 has been primarily designed to be entirely playable without having played any of the previous instances where Wake shows up, the last shot of the trailer caused me to raise an eyebrow. The darker tone of this short certainly mirrors what we know about Alan Wake 2 so far, although I won't say any more than that – there's a very real chance the easter egg could signal the direction this story is heading. In it, we see Agent Casey working with an unidentified FBI agent to investigate the disappearance of the famous writer. Quantum Break may not officially be a part of the Remedy Connected Universe, but the 2016 Xbox One exclusive featured a live-action easter egg entitled ' Alan Wake's Return'. However, there's potentially more to this still. It would appear that Wake has written Casey into reality from the Dark Place. That's fun, but here's something key: Alex Casey should not exist the FBI Agent is a fictional construct – the protagonist of an action-thriller series written in-universe by Alan Wake, six books which follow the life (and death) of a hardened New York City cop. Fantastic easter egg for long-time Remedy fans, or something bigger? For starters, Casey shares the likeness of Remedy creative director Sam Lake (the original likeness of Max Payne) and is voiced by James McCaffrey (voice of Max Payne).
