Alan Wake 2 gets surprise anniversary update

Alan Wake 2 is about to turn one-year old and Remedy has a surprise update in store. On the 22nd of October, a free anniversary update for the game will roll out to all owners. 

Remedy has been hard at work on Alan Wake 2 since the game first launched. Some elements of the game's story have been expanded on already, and the first of two expansions released earlier this year. A second expansion, The Lake House, is due to release this month as well. This free Anniversary Update is arriving separately to the new DLC.

The update is said to be the “biggest addition to quality of life” since the game's launch. This includes new control options, gyro aiming for supported controllers (DualSense), and a new gameplay assist menu. This new assist menu will give players quick access to cheats, like infinite ammo, infinite flashlight batteries, one shot kills, and some other options.

The update releases on the 22nd of October for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

KitGuru Says: I'll be jumping back into Alan Wake 2 soon for the new DLC. From the initial patch notes though, the anniversary update isn't going to do a whole lot for me.
