Remedy Entertainment has announced that two expansions will launch forAlan Wake 2next year that will “tell new stories”.
Earlier this month, the studio confirmed thattwo DLCswere in the works, but now Remedy has revealed that fans can expect Expansion One -Night Springsto arrive in late spring 2024 (if we’re being scientific, presumably this could be towards the end of the March to May period). However, this window is subject to change (viaIGN).
As for Expansion Two,The Lake House, a release window hasn’t yet been confirmed but it will also launch next year. We don’t have many details to go by right now, but Remedy did reveal the blurbs for each expansion in the updatedFAQ page, and they sound interesting, to say the least.
ForNight Springs, the description reads: “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 ofAlan Wakeand experience the unexplainable in multiple self-contained episodes of Night Springs, a fictional TV-show set in the world ofAlan Wake.”
Meanwhile,The Lake Housesounds curious and could potentially have a link to Remedy’s 2019 titleControl. Its synopsis reads: “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.”
The Lake House facility was mentioned in the 2019 third-person shooter and is run by the Federal Bureau Of Control, and since we know thatAlan WakeandControlshare the same universe, it makes sense to explore that connection further through DLC.
