‘Alan Wake 2’ New Game Plus Mode “The Final Draft” Arrives December 11
Despite missing out on Game of The Year last night at The Game Awards, Remedy’s Alan Wake 2 still walked away with three wins. And to add an extra treat on top, Sam Lake and company announced that the long-awaited New Game Plus mode for Alan Wake 2 will arrive next week!
Called “The Final Draft”, the mode doesn’t just allow players who have already completed the game to run through Alan Wake 2 again, but actually includes a brand new ending. “The Final Draft unveils a new ending to the layered story of Alan Wake, sure to spark speculation and theories among our dedicated fans,” according to the blog post. “Additionally, there is new lore to be found in the form of a few new videos and manuscript pages that have been added to New Game Plus experience, along with other subtle additions.”
The new mode allows players to carry over all of their weapons, charms and player upgrades from their first playthrough (as expected), but also unlocks a new Nightmare Difficulty level. You don’t start right way with your weapons, however. You’ll find them in the first available shoebox for the character.
New Game Plus mode also brings with it numerous bug fixes and slight performance optimizations. To access “The Final Draft”, you simply need to load a completed playthrough of Alan Wake 2.
Alan Wake 2 is out now for PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
