Remedy Entertainment's Alan Wake 2 receives a substantial Anniversary Update launching October 22nd, coinciding with the release of the Lake House DLC. This free update significantly enhances accessibility.

The developer expressed gratitude to its fanbase, highlighting the community's role in shaping the game's evolution. The Anniversary Update introduces a wealth of accessibility options, including infinite ammo, one-hit kills, and inverted horizontal axis controls. PS5 players will also experience improved DualSense functionality, with haptic feedback integrated for healing items and throwable objects.

This comprehensive update also incorporates numerous quality-of-life improvements based on player feedback. Remedy actively solicited and implemented these changes, resulting in a more polished and enjoyable gameplay experience. The update's timing, close to the game's initial release anniversary, is aptly reflected in its name.

A dedicated "Gameplay Assist" menu offers granular control over various gameplay aspects: quick turns, automated QTE completion, simplified button inputs for weapon charging, healing, Lightshifter use, and even player invulnerability and immortality options. These additions cater to a wider range of player preferences and skill levels.
