Despite Baldur’s Gate 3 dominating Game of the Year conversations in 2023, there were a few titles that managed to pose some competition for the massive RPG. Chief among those was the visionary horror game Alan Wake 2 — a true masterpiece of the genre from the twisty minds at Remedy Entertainment. While there’s been plenty to enjoy since the game launched, it’s about to be a big week for Alan Wake 2 plans. In addition to the second DLC, The Lake House, Remedy has announced an “Anniversary Update” that’s finally bringing some long-requested features. One year after launch, Alan Wake 2 is about to be better than ever.
The Anniversary Update is completely free for all players, and while it doesn’t add any new story content to the game, it does provide a robust set of new options for how you play the game. It adds on a new “Gameplay Assist “ menu that integrates both new accessibility options, and a few quality-of-life ones. Some of these will make getting through the game much easier, if that’s something you want. These updates include player invulnerability, player immortality, instantly slain enemies, infinite ammo, and infinite flashlight batteries.
