Alan Wake 2 is hands-down one of the best games of 2023 (and one of the best horror games of all time), so it was certainly no surprise that it won Best Game Direction during The Game Awards 2023. Remedy Entertainment’s Sam Lake and Kyle Rowley took to the stage to accept the award and say a few words of thanks, but Rowley had a last-minute comment before stepping away from the mic.
Next week, Alan Wake 2 is getting a major content update dubbed “The Final Draft,” and it’s going to bring New Game+ alongside brand-new story content. There will be new manuscript pages and tons of new features to explore. We already talked about Alan Wake 2’s The Final Draft update when it was initially announced, but now we know when it’s coming. You can expect the update on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5 on Dec. 11, 2023.
