Right before the release of Alan Wake 2, Remedy Entertainment has announced that two expansions will be coming to the cinematic horror game next year. It was previously confirmed that the title would be getting both paid and free DLC, so this announcement is in line with what was said.
Expansion 1 is called Night Springs and is currently scheduled for a late Spring 2024 release. It seems like the game will be blending fiction with what’s being perceived as reality, which is already what the base game is successfully doing.
Here’s a summary of what to expect (via IGN):
“Visions and dreams. Fiction is written and coming true. Fiction collapses and remains just words on a page. These are those stories... in Night Springs. Play as several familiar characters from the world of Alan Wake and experience the unexplainable in multiple self-contained episodes of Night Springs, a fictional TV-show set in the world of Alan Wake.”
Later in 2024, Alan Wake 2 will be getting a second expansion called The Lakehouse. Unlike the 2006 film starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, this is more horror than romance, though they both have lakes and houses.
Here’s a summary of Expansion 2:
“The Lake House is a mysterious facility situated on the shores of Cauldron Lake set up by an independent government organization to conduct secret research… until something goes wrong. Explore the Lake House and embark on two separate adventures as the realities of Saga Anderson and Alan Wake collide again.”
Alan Wake 2 is the highly-anticipated sequel to the classic Xbox 360 title, so fans have been waiting a long time to get their hands on this. Thankfully, based on what we played, this looks like it’s going to blow away the lofty expectations fans have.
