Second Alan Wake DLC, The Writer Out NOW
Alan Wake is an amazing game and its DLC has been equally great, if not a little bizarre. The second DLC pack, entitled The Writer, is out now for mass consumption so if you have the 560 Microsoft Screaming Buffalo Points I suggest you get it. It’s October after all, this is the best time to return to a game like Alan Wake.
The Writer focuses on Alan Wake, a man who enjoys writing, saving his wife from evil incarnate, and the occasional walk on the beach. Check out an excitement-inducing trailer for the DLC after the jump.
The previous DLC, The Signal, was fantastic (the fact that it was free certainly helped) and The Writer looks great too. Anyone checking this out, or more importantly, anyone else like long walks on the beach? I do.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
