I couldn't have predicted the direction it takes in the trailer, but shit fam sign me up.
We already know the second expansion will focus on something from the game that's only briefly touched upon (the Lake House).

That looks really cool. I hope there is a standalone version as I have no intention of buying the base game.

Second dlc will be about Alan and Saga. This one was always meant to be more of "what if" Twilight Zone like self-contained stories

Time to do a replay with the real ending.

What? You have to buy the physical edition to play this ?

Nah. If I understood it correctly you just need Deluxe Edition which includes game + season pass for both dlcs. If you bought the base edition, I think they have an upgrade

No. Did you get the deluxe edition? If not, you can upgrade for 20 bucks.

No.
Physical will only be Deluxe, so it will be included in it by default.
There is no 'standard' physical version. It's either Deluxe or Collectors only.

Hmm... Do they mention a price? Not sure I want to double dip.

Only that the CE is $200. They haven't given the Deluxe edition price (or I can't find it yet)

You're not gonna get a better deal than that, lol. Might as well just get the deluxe upgrade which is on sale right now.

Curious if either of you know, has Remedy said if James McCaffrey recorded his lines for Alex Casey for the second DLC (since he’d naturally be there with Alan and Saga) before his passing last December? Would be nice to hear him one last time.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Alan wake 1 was a solid third person poltergeist shooter, I’ll wait years before I play the sequel I’m 100 % convinced sequels aren’t as good as the original (fear 2, dead space 2, evil within 2 etc.) to name a few.

Evil Within 2 is FAR better than 1. The characters are actually fleshed out (particularly Sebastian himself, whereas the first game left all his characterization in notes that didn’t manifest in the first game proper at all), the villains are more interesting than edgy budget Assassin’s Creed cosplayer, the story is actually compelling rather than the nothing that was the first game’s “story” (“ooh, we’re in a brain, whose could it be-“ It’s Ruvik, obviously. For fucks’ sake, was this supposed to be surprising?), the game begins properly actually setting up gameplay rather than the first game’s beginning levels being an overly long Outlast ripoff that barely is used in most of the rest of the game, exploration is far more rewarding and offers unique encounters and rewards, there’s far more frequent use of clever scares with impossible space and such, the game doesn’t fall completely on its ass in the final third like the first game did (seriously, some of those sequences were embarrassingly bad), it doesn’t have a stick up its ass like the first game in being 100% super-serious but actually has some humorous moments and even RE-style cheese, the game didn’t launch with a bunch of bugs (apparently the PC version never fully fixed this, wow) and a forced stupid “cinematic” screen mode that was so hated by even fans of the game that they changed it to optional, etc.
Evil Within 1 had some good stuff but was plagued by so much bullshit and clearly needed far more time in the oven. Evil Within 2 actually feels like a complete vision realized. It’s not even close which one is superior in my book.

I think I had enough of AWII for at least a few years. Will wait for Steam release and a deep sale.

As far as I have seen, we don't know it yet. Remedy recently hosted an AMA on Reddit and while this question popped up several times in relation to Alan Wake dlcs and Max Payne remakes, they were avoiding responding to it and giving a proper statement
What I can tell you though is that after Alan Wake II launched some folks datamined the game files and found some hidden stuff tied to both dlcs. The files that leaked for the first dlc were opening intros narrated by Warlin Door introducing stories of the episodes players will experience. It wasn't for three episodes like they just announced though, but for five. Beside Rose, Tim and Jesse Faden, fourth intro was suggesting that Alex Casey was meant to be a playable character as well. Not sure if they cut it because of James McCaffrey's passing or if it was budget reasons. The fifth one was about FBC agent, the intro didn't had their name but people were speculating it might have been the character who was played by Janina Gavankar

Ive got the SP so I can check it out but have no desire to at the moment. The main story was an absolute slog

It's DLC to go with the base game, has any game released a standalone expansion?
