«Найт Спрингс», первое дополнение к Alan Wake 2, возвращает вас в загадочный и хаотичный мир Тёмной обители. Застрявший в этой непредсказуемой реальности Алан Уэйк пытается сбежать, используя для этого совершенно неожиданное средство: собственное воображение. Готовя сценарий для давно утратившего популярность сериала «Найт Спрингс», он совершенно случайно ослабляет саму ткань реальности и отправляет игрока в сюрреалистичный мир, где привычное и непривычное сплетаются воедино. Три стильных эпизода «Найт Спрингс» позволят вам сыграть за полюбившихся поклонникам игры персонажей и взглянуть на миры Алана Уэйка с разных точек зрения. Образы персонажей кажутся донельзя знакомыми, но в мире «Найт Спрингс» они отличаются от своих реальных версий. Созданы на основе серии Alan Wake и других игр Remedy. Вы наверняка хорошо знаете их в лицо, но не узнаете их в гриме: это новые версии, созданные Аланом Уэйком специально для «Найт Спрингс» на основе снов из Тёмной обители.

Эпизоды:   •  Разрушитель времени: Актер - Тим Брейкер (Шон Эшмор), неуловимо похожий на Тима Брейкера, шерифа Брайт Фоллс, предстает в роли героя мультивселенной в игре «Разрушитель времени». Его персонажу предстоит отыскать Хозяина множества миров и не дать тому погубить различные версии героя из параллельных миров.

  •  Северная звезда: Незнакомая Сестра - Джесси Фейден (Кортни Хоуп), так сильно похожая на директора ФБК Джесси Фейден, пытается отыскать пропавшего брата, которого держат в плену в «Мире кофе».

  •  Поклонник номер один: Официантка - Роуз Мэриголд (Джессика Предди), поразительно схожая с, собственно, официанткой закусочной «Дорогой олень» Роуз Мэриголд, должна спасти Писателя, своего кумира, от опасностей, которые тому грозят. Для этого она должна разобраться с критиками Писателя и Плохишом, его злобным близнецом.

Попытайтесь выжить в гнетущей атмосфере на побережье озера Колдрон. В окрестностях исследовательской станции Федерального бюро контроля «Домик у озера» произошла катастрофа. Из-за безрассудных действий исследователей Темная обитель вновь выплеснулась в реальность. В роли агента ФБК Киран Эстевез в исполнении Янины Гаванкар вы узнаете, что происходило параллельно событиям основной игры. Исследуйте запутанные коридоры многоэтажного «Домика у озера», где исследовались явления за пределами человеческого понимания, и откройте темные тайны его закоулков. Сражайтесь с новыми врагами, используйте новое оружие, — гранатомет Черного камня, — и приготовьтесь погрузиться во тьму кошмаров в «Домике у озера», где выживание — лишь малая часть того, что предстоит сделать.

Movement smoothness over accuracy.   •  Fixed an issue with the mouse that resulted in jittery camera movements if not playing in 30fps.

Performance   •  Improved overall quality of the occlusion culling algorithm, improving GPU performance especially on locations with a lot of geometry.   •  The performance upgrade is most visible in the PlayStation 5 Quality mode, where (incredibly) there are up to 1.8ms improvements. Cauldron Lake should be coughing less.   •  Optimized HUD UI content setup so rendering the HUD takes less time. This brings between ~0.5-0.7ms improvements to performance.   •  A few selected tweaks and optimizations for path tracing and rendering.   •  Improved streaming by removing occasional 10 – 100ms stalls that mostly affected Xbox Series platforms.   •  Reduced memory usage by 16 MB on all platforms.   •  Slightly improved performance on by removing some error diagnostics instrumentation.

NOTE: Remember to keep at least one manual save with your previous progression if you wish to retain it.

New features   •  Added Chapter Select menu.   •  Added option to choose between Low and Normal horror flash visual and audio intensity.

Gameplay and missions   •  Fixed an issue in The Final Draft (New Game Plus) where if the player already had Saga’s crossbow in their inventory, they could not complete/open all required Cult Stashes and thus couldn’t get the Lighthouse Key from the final Cult Stash.   •  Fixed an issue where the player could get stuck if they opened the notification about having finished watching the final Koskela brothers’ advert:   •  During RE09 Deerfest when you go to the Oh Deer Diner, the last Koskela commercial is shown and you are given a prompt that you can see it in the Mind Place, but if you press the touchpad as instructed to view it in the Mind Place, nothing happens, and your controls are frozen. The issue remains until you reload the last save.   •  Fixed an issue where the player was not able to collect all the clues around Nightingale’s body.   •  The objects required for the Overlap ritual in RE03 Local Girl can now only be picked up after the player finds their respective clues.   •  The 10th Echo Scene after meeting Casey in the alley now unlocks properly.   •  Players now receive the Coffee World Mug Charm in the The Final Chapter (New Game+) instead of a duplicate Hammer Charm.   •  Fixed the camera perspective on opened Cult stashes, so the note on the lid is now legible.   •  Additional fix for the Cynthia profiling not being available if the player exits the diorama too quickly in the Nursing Home.   •  Resolved an issue in RE05 Old Gods where players could pick up the fuse in the basement from a locked container without solving the attached combination lock puzzle.   •  Propane tanks will no longer reappear after reloading the game in Watery. Less explosions, less fun, but a smoother game.   •  Gave Saga a chance to gain more resources in the RE10 Come Home mission in the subway station.   •  Added missing descriptions for some case files in the Case Cabinet in Saga’s Mind Place.   •  Fixed a multitude of issues with Meta Case clues.   •  Added descriptions for cases that are in progress to the Case Cabinet files.   •  Igniting a flare while hiding in Safe Haven will now be seen as a hostile player action and collapse the Safe Haven if enemies are nearby.   •  Fixed an issue with the player camera occasionally “micro jittering” when rotating the camera in Prologue.   •  Removing the fun. It’s the beginning of the year. Explosions will no longer deal damage through doors.   •  Prevent players from accidentally boosting the flashlight and wasting batteries when picking it up.   •  FBI Service pistol and Revolver now deal enough damage to make cultists’ masks fly off with one, carefully aimed shot.

Don’t try it please.

Global   •  Changed Splash screen: now it’s cooler. (Probably not worth reporting, but FYI)   •  Tuned down resource drops to more reasonable levels in Night Springs Episodes 2 & 3. (It was not supposed to be That over the top)

Fixes   •  Fixed warning about corrupting saves that could happen while loading or travelling between areas. The warning was misleading and came from a different bug while initializing an area.

Haptics will now trigger when using throwables and healing Items (reminder: we should have had healing items like in Final Fight. Apples. Chickens).

Fixes   •  Fixed an issue where while trying to shoot while recharging batteries would sometimes trigger a melee attack instead.   •  Fixed an issue where the player was getting pushed towards (instead of away) enemies upon hit if they had the flashlight equipped. Fixed an issue where Case Board clues would not always trigger voice over lines.   •  Fixed some areas becoming too dark if the character automatically unequipped the flashlight.   •  [Night Springs] Fixed Achievement / Trophy for completing the episodes, that on occasion would not trigger when playing them as part of the main campaign.   •  Several other fixes and improvements.
