Summary
TheAlan Wake 2Lake House DLC expansion could launch as early as July 29, 2025, if new leaks are correct. Previous reports placed the nextAlan Wake 2DLC release window in October 2024, but didn’t specify exactly when.
After wowing audiences and critics with its storytelling, production, and impressive visuals,Alan Wake 2is approaching its first anniversary since launching in October 2023. Fans were excited by theAlan Wake 2Night Springs DLC, and the upcoming Lake House expansion promises even more of the strange vibes and expert storytelling developer Remedy Entertainment is known for.
Now, a leak from Australia and New Zealand retailer EB Games, shared by Twitter user PlotPointsYT, lists the Lake House DLC unlock date as July 22, 2025. The leaked date lines up withearlier hints from Remedy aboutAlan Wake 2DLCthat put its release window in October 2024.
Alan Wake 2 Lake House Expansion Could Unlock on July 22, 2025
The listing comes from an EB Games store page for the physical version ofAlan Wake 2: Deluxe Edition. The store page includes a note that says that the Lake House DLC is included on theDeluxe Editiondisc, but that the DLC itself will only unlock on May 31, 2025. Previousphysical releases ofAlan Wake 2on consoles differed in what content they contained on the disc. The PS5 physical release contained both the base game and the Night Springs DLC, while the Xbox release required another downloaded update to unlock the DLC.
The note for the EB Games store page cites the global release date forAlan Wake 2: Deluxe Editionas the reason why the Lake House DLC will not unlock until an appointed time. This restriction is likely intended to prevent players from accessing the DLC before its official release time by acquiring the physical edition early. One of the more common forms of early game leaking is tied to the early sale and acquisition of physical copies of the game. For example,some lucky players ofSpace Marine 2received their copies earlyand were able to answer questions about the game from impatient fans shortly before the game was officially available.
If accurate, the release date forAlan Wake 2’s latest DLC add-on is just days away. Fans of the game looking for a new dose of the beloved series have less than a week left to wait.
