Before the launch of The Lake House, Remedy Entertainment has outlined Alan Wake 2’s free Anniversary Update. Launching alongside the second expansion, it features numerous quality-of-life features and accessibility options.
These include inverting the X axis on the mouse and controller and gyro aiming on the PS5’s DualSense. You can also deactivate the motion sensor of the latter, adjust the pitch, yaw, roll of the gyro, and more. Haptic feedback also supports healing and throwable items. However, the most significant new addition is the Gameplay Assist Menu.
It offers a variety of accessibility options, like auto-completing QTEs, tapping to charge weapons, healing or using the Lightshifter, and quick turns. You can also activate player invulnerability and immortality, one-shot kills, and infinite amounts of ammo and flashlight batteries.
Alan Wake 2: The Lake House arrives on October 22nd for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It follows Kiran Estevez, a Federal Bureau of Control agent, as she investigates a disturbance at the titular facility on Cauldron Lake.
