The Lake House is the second of theAlan Wake 2expansions to get detailed. There isn’t currently a release window, but it sounds like more of a continuation of the base game’s story. You once more take on the roles of Alan and Saga in their own respective stories.
Alan Wake 2New Game Plus mode changes the narrative
Remedy will releasea New Game Plus modeforAlan Wake 2after its launch. It sounds intriguing. The mode does the usual NG+ thing and lets you take all your weapons and upgrades, but comes with a classic Remedy twist. It changes the story by some unknown degree, introducing “new Manuscript pages and new video content.” And if you’re feeling spicy, you can play the mode in the new Nightmare difficulty that launches alongside it.
Alan Wake 2launches on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via the Epic Games Store on October 27. It’s already struck a chord among critics. Our ownSmangaliso Simelanesays “there’s nothing else quite like it.”
