Alan Wake 2 will receive free “significant” DLCs

More details coming after the game launches, Sam Lake says.

While Alan Wake 2 can certainly fall under the horror category, it’s hard to know whether the game will be scary or not. However, what we can say for certain is that there will be some additional content coming post-release, some of which will be free.

Director Sam Lake confirmed at EGX (in a Twitter post retweeted by Lake himself) that Alan Wake 2 will be getting some “free DLC drops” which are said to be “pretty significant.” At this stage, there’s no information about what this new content will be.

However, in the short clip attached to the tweet, Lake goes on to say that the team will be able to go “more into detail pretty soon after the game is out,” and that all this DLC “will be free for everyone” who has the game.

A turn-up for the books

It also looks as though Alan Wake 2 will also get some paid DLC. Again, not much is known about this yet. The sequel itself has yet to come out, but it’s nice to know that there’s more on the horizon.

It’s been 13 years since the original installment came out on Xbox 360. While it may not have been much of a horror game-changer, it certainly left an impression on fans of the genre.

Now, with the second entry releasing on October 27, the long wait is finally nearly over. Also, if you’re looking to get a new graphics card soon, you might be interested to learn that Alan Wake 2 is free with purchases of select Nvidia GPUs.
