As a seasoned gamer with a heart full of nostalgia for the golden days of gaming, I must say this week has been a rollercoaster ride! The release of “The Lake House” DLC for Alan Wake 2 is like being reunited with an old friend who’s been through a dark journey but is now ready to face new challenges.
This week is packed with exciting video game updates across the board. Let’s dive straight into the key point that’s capturing everyone’s attention this week…
Alan Wake 2’s “The Lake House” DLC launches & anniversary updates
The long-awaited, concluding expansion pack for “Alan Wake 2” was officially released on Tuesday. If you enjoyed the “Night Springs” DLC from June and anticipated more of the same… let me tell you, it’s downright chilling. It certainly harks back to the survival horror that the series is famous for.
In honor of the upcoming anniversary, Remedy has shared some improvements to the gameplay experience for Alan Wake 2. These updates include a swift turning feature, an option to reverse the x-axis, and amplified haptic feedback. Additionally, there are fun options you can activate, such as endless ammunition and batteries, one-hit kills, and invincibility.
As a gaming enthusiast, if you splurged on the deluxe version of the game, you’re in for an extra treat! Alongside those exciting DLCs, you’ll also score Alan Wake’s iconic outfit from the original “Alan Wake” game, complete with all its awe-inspiring details.
Dungeons of Hinterberg update
As a passionate gamer, I’ve recently discovered a hidden gem – the captivating action-adventure/dungeon-crawler game titled “Dungeons of Hinterberg“. It offers an engaging experience that can be tailored to your preference, ranging from a relaxed, cozy atmosphere to an intense, pulse-pounding adventure. Released in July, Microbird Games has just unveiled the latest free update. This exciting new addition includes a “new game plus” feature, four brand-new attack conduits, and additional outfits for purchase, further enhancing the gaming experience.

Hatch Tales releases this week
Are you in search of an engaging action-platformer game? Let me recommend “Hatch Tales: A Heroic Hookshot Adventure” by Limited Run Games, which launched this week on Nintendo Switch. If you haven’t played a platformer in a while, some levels might pose a challenge, but trust me, it’s genuinely enjoyable!
Ubisoft cancels Assassin’s Creed: Shadows early access
It comes as no shock that Ubisoft has scrapped the early access for “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.” As a result, the collector’s edition’s price has been reduced from $280 to $230. The game is currently set to release on February 14, 2025; however, there’s a possibility that another delay might be in store…once more.
Netflix shutters its AAA gaming studio
It comes as little shock that Netflix has closed its gaming studio, Blue, despite the fact that the studio had not launched any games prior to its closure. The studio had previously employed an executive producer from the popular game Overwatch and was rumored to be developing a high-profile original IP, but no official announcements about this project were ever made. Now, it appears that those plans have been shelved indefinitely.
Gamers sign an NDA, post NDA-related things, are surprised when they get shut down by Nintendo
This week, we haven’t discussed the secretive Nintendo testing session that was initiated. Interested gamers could register for participation, but were required to agree to a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to do so.
It was anticipated that some individuals might share information despite agreeing to an NDA. However, it’s not unexpected if Nintendo suspends their account for disclosing confidential details, especially since they agreed to keep such information secret. Perhaps they ought to take a moment to thoroughly review what they are consenting to.
