Now going a step further, a massive leak that has recently surfaced on social media suggests that even beyond the DLCs, players will now have more reasons to keep playing.

Remedy’s latest release has been the biggest surprise of 2023. The survival-horror sequel has taken the franchise to a whole new level and with the two confirmed DLCs, the hype around the sequel is only expected to grow. The latest leak suggests that the devs have focused on replay value with some upcoming content. And along with that, the game will also be getting a crossover!

Alan Wake 2 DLC brings the biggest Remedy crossover

A scoop confirmed to have datamined videos related to New Game+ and both DLCs featuring heavy story spoilers. According to the claim, the videos reveal the return of a character from another iconic Remedy creation. Any guesses? 

Control, the 2019 action-packed title is coming to the writer’s haunting world. Dr. Darling from Control, one of the most iconic characters under the banner, will have a significant role in both DLCs as revealed by the scoop.

Night Springs, the first expansion for Alan Wake 2, is already set to arrive in late spring of 2024, according to Remedy Entertainment. Based on the text that goes with the videos, it appears that they are related to The Lakehouse, the game’s second expansion, which does not yet have a release date. To all the fans wondering what to expect from Dr. Darling’s character in the game, the leaker claimed that the character will feature in similar style instruction videos as in Control. 

Remedy also disclosed that Alan Wake 2 will have a New Game Plus mode in addition to the leak. This mode adds a new Nightmare difficulty level, a different story with new Manuscript pages and video content, and the ability for players to keep their unlocked weapons and upgrades. While there hasn’t been any official confirmation on what to expect from the DLCs, the leaks might be enough to fuel the excitement. 

Deducing the story expansions from the scoop

The biggest question that arises from the leak is if these expansions might be the bridge between other Remedy titles for the game. As fascinating as the idea sounds, it will be interesting to see how the developers implement the idea. Moreover, for a character breaking into a different universe, the narrative certainly has to include a lot of Easter eggs and some familiar faces from the Remedy universe.

The tease dropped by the makers for Night Springs talked about “dreams and visions” and how plenty of characters would be featured in the expansion. Certainly, the leak aligns confidently with the tease. A fictitious program inside the Alan Wake universe will be the center of focus in the first DLC. On the contrary, The Lake House would take the story to a “mysterious facility” set around a Lake. Now, it won’t be surprising if the players catch some familiar faces at the place! 

While there hasn’t been any official confirmation on what to expect from the DLCs, the leaks might be enough to fuel the excitement. What are your thoughts on the unexpected crossover?
