Several days have passed since the release of Alan Wake 2, and while the game has received critical acclaim, Remedy Entertainment’s title is also positioned well in the race for Game of the Year in 2023. At the Finnish studio, discussions about a potential sequel are already underway, and it has been announced that post-launch content is planned. This will begin with the introduction of a New Game Plus mode, which players have come to appreciate, featuring a new difficulty level called ‘Nightmare.’ In this mode, all unlocked weapons and equipment from the initial playthrough will be retained, while an “altered” scenario with new documents and previously unseen videos will also be included.
In the spring of 2024, players will have the opportunity to experience the first downloadable content (DLC) titled “Night Springs,” which revolves around the television series featured within the game. This suggests that the adventure will adopt an episodic format, potentially introducing new characters from the game and delving into the ambiguous boundary between fiction and reality. For the second DLC, named “The Lake House,” it will concentrate on a small community situated by the shores of Bright Falls Lake, which is widely speculated to involve the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) from Control. Given Alan Wake 2’s existing references to Control in its main storyline, there is a strong likelihood that both universes will officially coexist within this second DLC. However, no release date has been announced for “The Lake House” as production has only recently commenced. Players can expect an increase in combat encounters compared to those present in the primary narrative.
