2. Alan Wake 2 – The Lake House DLC Trailer
The upcoming expansion, The Lake House, is set to intensify the horror and thrill factors. This add-on creates an intriguing link with Remedy’s acclaimed 2019 title, Control, and its upcoming sequel, enriching the overarching narrative.
Players will take on the role of Agent Estevez, a pivotal character from Alan Wake 2’s storyline, becoming playable for the first time. Set in a Federal Bureau of Control research facility by the shores of Cauldron Lake, The Lake House enhances the terror with nightmarish creatures emerging from walls, revived corpses, a fresh weapon, and a significant amount of gore, promising a darker journey than the original game.
According to Game Director Kyle Rowley in an interview with Xbox Wire, “There is a vast open environment for exploration, numerous secrets to unveil, and perilous foes to evade. The narrative plays a crucial role in this expansion, as it did in the base game, which makes it worthwhile to thoroughly investigate and find the many story elements scattered across the landscape.”
