After taking home three major awards for Alan Wake 2 at last night’s The Game Awards, Remedy Entertainment is back at it.
Today, the developer provided new details on the upcoming release of a new update for Alan Wake 2, titled “The Final Draft,” that introduces a New Game Plus mode.
The update will launch on Monday, December 11th, for all platforms Alan Wake 2 is available on.
In a community update released today, the developers laid out what to expect from the new mode, saying:
Prepare for an enhanced adventure as we introduce “The Final Draft,” providing you with another compelling reason to dive back into the immersive world of Alan Wake.
The Final Draft unveils a new ending to the layered story of Alan Wake, sure to spark speculation and theories among our dedicated fans. Additionally, there is new lore to be found in the form of a few new videos and manuscript pages that have been added to New Game Plus experience, along with other subtle additions.
Players will retain all weapons, Charms, and character upgrades earned during their first playthrough. They should come in handy when you seek the ultimate challenge of trying out the new Nightmare Difficulty level. Brace yourselves for intensified enemies, strategic gameplay, and an adrenaline-pumping experience that will push your skills to the limit.
You will find your unlocked weapons in the first available shoebox for the character. This means that you don’t start New Game Plus with the weapons already in your inventory.
This update also includes numerous bug fixes and slight performance optimizations. Stay tuned for the complete update notes, which will be released next Monday.
To access the New Game Plus mode and fully experience “The Final Draft”, a completed playthrough of the game is required.
“The Final Draft” update is scheduled to launch on Monday, December 11th, 2023, at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 8 pm Helsinki time across all platforms.
