‘Alan Wake II’ Receiving Two Post-launch Expansions in 2024
With Remedy’s Alan Wake II at long last arriving today for fans, the developer has further teased what’s next for the horror writer. After dropping hints of post-launch content alongside the launch trailer, Remedy has confirmed that Alan Wake II will received two expansions.
Per IGN, Remedy will release two expansions in 2024 for Alan Wake II, with the first expansion, called “Night Springs”, is estimated to be coming out in late Spring 2024. Here’s the premise for “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.”
After that comes “The Lakehouse,” which does not have a release window as of yet.
“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.”
And as mentioned yesterday, Remedy will also be bringing a New Game+ mode to Alan Wake II, though when that drops is yet again still to be determined.
Alan Wake II is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via the Epic Games Store. And check out Reyna’s review here.
