The Finnish game studio Remedy Entertainment has posted a video of in-house development tools that might have also included a teaser from the upcoming Alan Wake 2. The company's presentation on the technologies includes demonstrations on the proprietary Northlight engine and the new USD editor. The tools are used to create Remedy's upcoming games, including Alan Wake 2.
Remedy Entertainment is currently developing five different games for four different publishers. The public already knows about most of these, including the Control-based spin-off Condor, Max Payne remake, Vanguard developed with Tencent, and Alan Wake 2. The company also has another unannounced game with publisher 505 Games in the pipeline.

During the presentation of the Universal Scene Description framework and the company's proprietary game engine and toolkit Northlight, Remedy might have shared a sneak peek into its upcoming Alan Wake game. Remedy Principal Technical Artist, Kristof Minnaert, starts by explaining the company's decision to build its new editor based on the widely adopted USD framework.
While explaining the role of the USD platform and Remedy's Northlight engine, Minnaert goes into showing a screenshot of the editor and perhaps showing a small taste of what is in development for Alan Wake 2. Minnaert goes on to explain the tools available to developers within the software, but gamers' eyes are drawn to the view at the center of the screen. It shows a figure holding a gun in a hall with a staircase leading upstairs.
