Alan Wake 2 gets a chunky patch tomorrow, October 22, as developer Remedy Entertainment has unveiled the Anniversary Update.
A blog post outlined the myriad additions coming to Alan Wake 2 in a major update to its acccessibility settings, with Remedy adding options such as infinite ammo and one shot kills. The update is free and launches alongside but not as part of the The Lake House expansion.
Alongside the accessibility additions comes the ability to invert the horizontal axis and not just the vertical, plus updates to DualSense functionality on PlayStation 5 such as motion control support and more haptic feedback. The full patch notes are available below.
"We can’t believe it’s been almost a year since Alan Wake 2 was released," Remedy said. "Thank you to everyone who has played the game and become a member of our fanbase and the Remedy community, no matter when you joined us or how long you’ve been a fan."
Alan Wake 2 arrived in 2023 as a survival horror game following the titular writer who continues to face psychological horror beyond anything imagined in his books. In our 9/10 review, IGN said: "Alan Wake 2 is a superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult-classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison."
As of August, Alan Wake 2 had yet to turn a profit for Remedy, but it had recouped most of its development and marketing expenses.
