 Remedy Entertainment has released a new DLC, The Lake House, for their 2023 horror game Alan Wake 2. This short expansion takes players on a journey with Kiran Estevez, an agent from the Federal Bureau of Control, as she investigates a research station at Cauldron Lake. The story explores the misuse of art and creativity for corporate gain, echoing themes from Remedy's previous game Control.

The Lake House offers a new setting, blending the eerie atmosphere of Alan Wake 2 with the brutalist office spaces from Control. Players can expect the same third-person survival horror gameplay as the main game. However, Kiran does not demonstrate any unique combat abilities, instead using her flashlight and bullets to defeat enemies.

This DLC serves as a bridge between the two games, connecting their shared universe. The story takes about two hours to complete, leaving players with a sense of closure for one of their favorite recent games. With The Lake House available now, fans can look forward to more adventures in this creepy world.
