Alan Wake 2 ‘The Lake House’ DLC launches next week

The highly anticipated Lake House expansion for Alan Wake 2 is finally on the way. Earlier this week, a retail leak showed an October 22nd release date. Last night during the Xbox Partner Preview, Remedy showed off a new trailer, confirming the release date for the second DLC. 

The Lake House is the second DLC for Alan Wake 2, Remedy's excellent horror-mystery game from 2023. The game features incredible visuals and a consistently tense and surprising story. However, the game is notably not currently available on Steam, having released as an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC. It is unclear if the game will eventually make its way over to Steam.

Alan Wake 2: The Lake House will release on the 22nd of October. This expansion is part of a continued Remedy-verse crossover, which sees the worlds of Control and Alan Wake colliding. In this DLC, players take on the role of a new character, FBC agent, Kiran Estevez, who must investigate supernatural events on the shores of Cauldron Lake.

Now that both expansions for the game are out, we may eventually see an Alan Wake 2: Complete Edition. If that happens, hopefully the game will also land on Steam around the same time.

KitGuru Says: Alan Wake 2 was an incredible game, although it does have a bit more of a niche appeal compared to Control due to its mystery-investigation angle, compared to Control's action-oriented gameplay. Will you be diving back into the game for the second expansion?
