Alan Wake 2: The Lake House Update Released With Patch Notes

Remedy Entertainment has released a major new update for Alan Wake 2 alongside letting loose the game’s final expansion, The Lake House. Since releasing roughly one year ago, Remedy has continued to support Alan Wake 2 with frequent patches and two pieces of DLC. The first expansion, Night Springs, launched a few months back and was quite well-received by players. Now, with The Lake House having arrived, Remedy has brought about a number of other additions that all players can access whether they’ve bought the latest DLC or not.

Available to download now across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, update version 1.2.2 for Alan Wake 2 has been dubbed the “Anniversary Update” and primarily brings The Lake House to the game. Beyond this, though, Remedy has added new gameplay features that include infinite ammo, infinite health, and gyro aiming support for the PS5. Additionally, this patch also adds graphical support for the upcoming PS5 Pro. Per usual, there are a slew of bugs that have also been fixed with this patch to further improve the game for players who may have been running into various issues.

Alan Wake 2 Update 1.2.2 Patch Notes

Global 

• Added new Gameplay Assist functions under the Options / Gameplay menu including:
  • Infinite Ammo 
  • Infinite Batteries 
  • Immortality 
  • Several options to change holds into taps 
  • (Gamepad) Sticks swap 
  • (Gamepad) Alternative input for Quick turn 
  • And more 
• (Deluxe Edition) added the Classic Alan Wake Outfit for our writer. Also known as the Layered One. 

 Improvements 

• Finetuned Flashlight Boost’s usability. Shooting should now feel better while boosting. Then again, we have worked on this game for so long that we don’t know anymore. 
• Words of Power are now easier to unlock as they accept a wider angle from the flashlight. This should help especially with that one Word of Power in the Oceanview hotel 
• Resources from all containers are now easier to pick up (no more strange camera movements to grab stuff) 
• [PS5] Added support for PlayStation 5 Pro. More details here.
• [PS5][PC] Added Optional Support for Motion Sensor (Gyro) controls while using a DualSense Controller (so that one person on Reddit who kept asking for this, hope you enjoy!) 
• [PS5][PC] Refined and additional haptics. Haptics will now trigger when using throwables and healing Items (reminder: we should have had healing items like in Final Fight. Apples. Chickens). 
• [XBox Series S] Increased internal render resolution from 1280 x 720 to 1505 x 847.  

Fixes 

• Fixed an issue where while trying to shoot while recharging batteries would sometimes trigger a melee attack instead. 
• Fixed an issue where the player was getting pushed towards (instead of away) enemies upon hit if they had the flashlight equipped. 
• Fixed an issue where Case Board clues would not always trigger voice over lines. 
• Fixed some areas becoming too dark if the character automatically unequipped the flashlight. 
• [Night Springs] Fixed Achievement / Trophy for completing the episodes, that on occasion would not trigger when playing them as part of the main campaign. 
• Several other fixes and improvements.
