Lake is currently working on multiple games at Remedy, including an unannounced project, which he will direct. Lake was also asked which franchise outside of Remedy's lineup he would like to work on. His answer was the Moomins. The Moomins are the main characters in a series of children's book by Finnish writer and illustrator Tove Jansson.

The franchise has spawned two theme parks, Moomin World in Nantali, Finland. Please tell me the other one's Moominland. And Akabono Children's Forest Park in Saitama, Japan. Oh, that's sick.
