Following Alan Wake 2’s first DLC “Night Springs” which got a surprise release yesterday, it seems the other expansion for the game will be out in a few months’ time, as new info has surfaced stating that Alan Wake 2’s The Lake House DLC will be released in October.
This was (accidentally?) casually mentioned in a news post by IGN about Night Springs. While we already know that Alan Wake 2 will be getting two expansion DLCs per the studio’s announcement, the release window for The Lake House has not been revealed by Remedy Entertainment just yet. Even on Remedy’s own PlayStation Blog article on Night Springs that got published recently, Vida Starcevic, Senior Community Manager at Remedy, only mentioned, “Look forward to the Lake House expansion later this year” and didn’t mention the October release window.
What do we know about The Lake House DLC for Alan Wake 2?
Not a lot of info has been shared about the upcoming — and final — DLC for the game. What we do know is that players will once again play as both Alan Wake and Saga Anderson, and players will be back in Cauldron Lake.
Per the official description from Remedy, “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.”
This seems like a slip up by IGN, and we’ve contacted Remedy Entertainment on whether this release window mention by the publication is something they shouldn’t have announced yet or just guesswork. If we hear anything back, we’ll update the article with the info.
If The Lake House DLC does release in October, it does make a lot of sense, as Remedy can align its release with the game’s first year anniversary on October 27.
For those that haven’t booted Alan Wake 2 recently, a game update was pushed out alongside the Night Springs DLC and it adds Photo Mode alongside other bug fixes.
