"This isn't the bureau's first time in Bright Falls. The FBC research department set up a facility, The Lake House. If I had any clue what was waiting for us in there... I would have just kept on driving."
Tonight, PlayStation's State of Play provided us with the first glimpse into The Lake House, the second of two story expansions, confirmed for this October. Alongside a one-minute teaser, we also got some interesting details setting up the situation...
In the upcoming expansion, we have a new protagonist; FBC Agent Kiran Estevez (Janina Gavankar). The story runs parallel to the sequel, and follows her journey as she gains access to the Bright Falls research station, following a recorded "catastrophic event". Through a series of reckless experiments, the line between reality and the Dark Place is blurred.
For the expansion, Remedy is taking a much darker tone, teased in their marketing as "a harrowing survival horror experience". Considering the final shot of the trailer slowly, yeah I think that's pretty accurate.
Official Synopsis: Dive into a harrowing survival horror experience with the latest expansion for Alan Wake 2, set in an eerie new location on the shores of Cauldron Lake. Within the Federal Bureau of Control's research station, the Lake House, a catastrophic event has occurred, where reckless experiments have caused reality to collide with the Dark Place. This expansion unfolds parallel to the main game, putting you in the shoes of FBC agent Kiran Estevez, portrayed by Janina Gavankar.
