Alan Wake 2 is set to receive two expansions in 2024, developer Remedy has confirmed.
Expansion 1 is called Night Springs, and is currently due out late spring 2024, although in a note to IGN Remedy said that release window is subject to change. Expansion 2 is called The Lakehouse, which is yet to receive a release window.
Here’s the official blurb on Night Springs:
“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.”
And here’s Remedy’s detail on The Lakehouse:
“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.”
IGN’s Alan Wake 2 review returned a 9/10. We called it a "superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult-classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison. "
Meanwhile, Remedy confirmed two free features coming to Alan Wake 2 post-launch: New Game+ and Photo Mode. New Game+ (known in-game as the Final Draft) should land about a month after release. It retains all unlocked weapons, Charms, and Words of Power upgrades, adds a new Nightmare difficulty level, new alternative narrative including six new Manuscript pages and new video content in specific TVs in the Dark Place, and, according to Remedy, “a few other surprises.”
Alan Wake 2 launches on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S Alan Wake 2 on October 27.
