Alan Wake 2: Lake House DLC – What We Know So Far

Alan Wake 2: Lake House DLC - What We Know So Far

As a seasoned fan of Remedy Entertainment and their captivating universe of thrilling narratives, I eagerly await the arrival of Alan Wake 2: Lake House DLC this October. With my memory bank brimming with tales from Bright Falls and the Bureau of Control, I can hardly contain my excitement for this upcoming expansion.


Exciting news for fans as Remedy unveils fresh content for Alan Wake 2, including a DLC that weaves together various series by the developer, such as Control.

If you’re excited for what the Lake House DLC has to offer, this is everything we know about it.

Alan Wake 2: Lake House DLC – What to Expect

In October, the last installment of additional content for Alan Wake 2 by Remedy Entertainment, titled “The Lake House,” is set to release. This chilling expansion arrives perfectly timed for the Halloween season, as the enigmatic supernatural events in Bright Falls town continue to unfold.

Despite much remaining unknown regarding the DLC, here’s a preview of four elements to anticipate in this chilling continuation of the acclaimed thriller series:

Control Players Will Feel Right at Home

The eerie influence of the Mysterious Entity persists, and it falls upon the skilled operatives at the Bureau of Control to neutralize this danger. Sadly, Jesse and the Bureau members are still occupied following the recent events at Control. It’s important to remember that the Hiss aren’t the only challenge globally.

As a devoted fan, I’ve picked up on some intriguing clues from the core game. It seems like the whereabouts of The Bureau have mysteriously vanished, suggesting that something significant is brewing within Director Jesse Faden’s usual stomping ground.

The scenario unfolds at the Lakeside Manor, a secretive research outpost of the Bureau of Control that borders Cauldron Lake. Even with its reputation for covert operations, an eerie stillness suggests a catastrophe may have occurred here.

A New Face

In the main game, Alan Wake and Saga Anderson have reached their conclusions. From now on, Kiran Estevez, a character from the Federal Bureau of Control, will be the star in the DLC. You might recall her as the agent assigned to examine the anomalous events in Bright Falls during the AWE (Advanced Research and Containment Unit) incident.

The earlier downloadable content for Alan Wake 2, titled “Night Springs”, noticeably missed the presence of Estevez. Characters like Shawn Ashmore’s Tim Breaker and Jesse Faden from Control were indeed part of the first expansion, however.

This is Kiran Estevez’s time to shine.

Return to Form

Estevez’s fresh outlook draws us nearer to the original survival horror foundation of the base game, as opposed to the Night Springs DLC which delved into multiverse ideas. Instead, The Lake House is designed specifically to scare gamers.

Kiran may not have the same level of resources as Alan Wake or Saga, but her familiarity with the facility allows her to gain entry to highly restricted areas due to her extensive knowledge.

More Mysteries

It’s not a Remedy game without an overarching mystery. The Lake House is made to expand the Remedy Connected Universe, adding new lore to the Control and Alan Wake stories. Some say the Lake House sets up Control 2’s imminent sequel.

It’s intriguing to ponder what secret lies within this structure. Eagle-eyed enthusiasts have already scrutinized the launch trailer, spotting a recognizable character who appeared in the initial Alan Wake game.

It’s uncertain exactly what we’re dealing with right now, but here’s some reassuring news: This additional content (DLC) is just around the corner in a matter of weeks. Given that it’s Remedy at the helm, expect more puzzles than solutions to be unveiled.

To enjoy the additional content in Alan Wake 2, you’ll need the Expansion Pass. This pass grants you entry to the initial DLC, titled “Night Springs,” along with a variety of extra cosmetic items for characters Saga and Alan.

In simple terms, when you buy either the Deluxe or Collector’s versions of Alan Wake 2 in the future, they will come with both downloadable content packs. If you currently own the Standard Edition of Alan Wake 2, you would need to upgrade to the Deluxe Edition to play the additional content.
