Remedy Connected Universe

edited 2026-05-22

A complete play order for the Remedy Connected Universe (RCU) — the metafictional shared continuity that links Remedy Entertainment's games, made explicit by Alan Wake 2 (2023) and stretching back through Control, Quantum Break, Alan Wake, and the original Max Payne. Covers every confirmed RCU release in both release order and in-universe chronological order, with continuity tags so you can follow just the Alan Wake line, just Control, or the whole interconnected web.
