Remedy Entertainment's latest hit, Alan Wake 2, has become their fastest-selling game ever, boasting an impressive 1.3 million copies sold. While not reaching the heights of GTA Online, this success positions Remedy favorably for the future.

In 2024, Alan Wake 2 will see the launch of two story DLCs: "Night Springs" and "Lake House." These expansions are shrouded in mystery, but the titles suggest they will delve deeper into the game's narrative. The Lake House, a pivotal location in Alan Wake 2 near Cauldron Lake and the Federal Bureau of Control's outpost, is likely to play a significant role in the DLC's storyline, potentially drawing parallels to past Remedy DLCs.

Alan Wake 2's Connection to Control's AWE DLC

Released in August 2020, Control's AWE DLC served as an extensive expansion, bridging the original Alan Wake storyline with the upcoming Alan Wake 2. The DLC follows Jesse Faden as she navigates the Oldest House's Investigations Sector, uncovering an ominous threat rooted in Bright Falls, the setting of the Alan Wake series. Throughout the DLC, players encounter the Dark Presence and catch glimpses of Alan Wake, setting the stage for the sequel.

While primarily focused on Control, the AWE DLC hinted at Alan Wake 2 developments, affirming the writer's existence and the FBC's role in the Connected Universe. It concluded with a report from Bright Falls dated years ahead, teasing the sequel's narrative.

Setting the Stage for Control 2

As Alan Wake 2 prepares to pave the way for Control 2, the Lake House DLC offers a platform to introduce future storylines or characters. Incorporating Jesse Faden prominently in the DLC could mirror Alan Wake's role in Control's AWE DLC, hinting at the sequel's direction.

While the Lake House DLC may not directly set up Control 2, Remedy's Sam Lake hinted at subtle teasers within the FBC-focused expansion, suggesting exciting developments for the sequel.
