finally the long-awaited big announcement

The Alan Wake 2 director made a big announcement during the 2023 Game Awards, confirming a highly anticipated addition by fans. Get ready for new content.

The Game Awards 2023 are over and it was an eventful evening. In the list of winners we find two names in particular: Baldur’s Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2. If Larian’s role-playing game won the Game of the Year title, Remedy’s latest game could not be missing. It won three prestigious awards namely Best Storytelling, Art Direction and Direction. As the game’s director, Kyle Rowley, accepted one of the awards, he took the opportunity to reveal some very important information about a certain upcoming addition.

Beware of spoilers!!! Normally we shouldn’t have to warn, but you never know.

New content for Alan Wake 2

In truth, this isn’t a huge surprise to those who have been closely following the news surrounding the game. In fact, we knew that Alan Wake 2 would be getting a New Game Plus mode called The Final Draft. The problem is that the release date was kept secret by the studio. Rowley therefore took the opportunity to throw it around like a fly in the ointment during the Game Awards 2023. Good news: You don’t have to wait long to try it out as it will be implemented on December 11th. In short, in three days.

But what exactly will he add then? Typically, an NG+ allows you to start the adventure from the beginning while keeping your gear. However, “Alan Wake 2″ will go even further, and the director himself says so. ” There will be new story content », he tells us. Unfortunately, we don’t know more, but current leaks are emerging Reddit

Alan Wake 2’s New Game Plus should therefore offer a different ending film that leaves less room for doubt about the events shown in the title’s conclusion. As far as we know, Dr. Darling from Control be present in this game mode. He will interact with the player via instructional videos and even appear alongside Thomas Zane. If this proves true, the famous Remedy Connected Universe will only expand. It remains to be seen whether this is true, so this information should be taken with caution.

Then what about the DLCs?

Alan Wake 2 will also include two DLCs, Night Springs and The Lake House, and that’s not a rumor. They have already been teased by the studio. Its release date is scheduled for next year and at this point we don’t have much more to say. But that’s without taking into account a new intervention from leakers who revealed an interesting element about The Lake House. Also Dr. Darling would be present in it, but nothing is known about his role in the expansion.

In fact, we still have more information about The Lake House than Night Springs. Remedy himself had talked about it without going into too much detail. There would be ” a mysterious facility on the shores of Cauldron Lake created by an independent government organization to conduct secret research.” It didn’t take long for the connection to Control to be made, and we can’t wait to see how the connection between this license and Alan Wake 2 is reflected in the DLC. Be continued.
