Remedy has just released the Anniversary Update for its latest horror game, Alan Wake 2, and shared its full patch notes. This Update is 20GB in size on PC, and it includes The Lake House expansion for the Deluxe Edition owners.
This latest patch brings new Gameplay Assist functions to the game. For instance, there are now options for Infinite Ammo, Infinite Batteries and Immortality.
The update also finetunes Flashlight Boost’s usability. Shooting should now feel better while boosting. This is something a lot of players complained about. So, kudos to Remedy for at least doing something about it.
Moreover, Words of Power are now easier to unlock as they accept a wider angle from the flashlight. This should help especially with that one Word of Power in the Oceanview hotel. Plus, the PC version now has optional support for Motion Sensor (Gyro) controls while using a DualSense Controller.
The Anniversary Update also packs a number of bug fixes. For example, it fixes an issue where while trying to shoot while recharging batteries would sometimes trigger a melee attack instead. It also fixes an issue where the player was getting pushed towards (instead of away) enemies upon hit if they had the flashlight equipped.
Like always, Epic Games Store will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
