Sam Lake heavily implying the Lakehouse is just a quaint little place to relax at General

I wonder if we play as Estevez in this one

This is confirmed. Previously, the official website said we would play as Alan and Saga. I suppose the intention was to focus on one character to (hopefully) bolster the existing DLC

Tin foil hat time
There were "leaked" Night Springs intros found in the game files quite a while ago, before the dlc dropped. Of the five found, three are in the game that we play. One was about Casey so was scrapped after James McCaffrey passed away. The other, the only one unaccounted for, was called Altered World Event and focused on what's essentially the FBC. Rumours were that we played as Estevez in that episode.
So I wonder if what was going to be in that episode may have gotten bigger than they thought and they decided to have it not as a Night Springs episode but part of Lake House instead and be fully in-universe.
Here is the link to the intro for that episode.

Very possible. The more they write the more they prove that it is indeed not a lake. But an ocean.

Based on the tweets from Remedy about the new music they composed for this DLC, I'm guessing that we'll be playing multiple characters.

I think this is going to lead into Condor. FBC agent without Jesse-tier powers fighting a paranormal force? That's basically the pitch we have for Condor.

We do. The description says this dlc runs parallel to the main game so we'll see wtf happened with Estevez and her team and how she got out.

If Sam Lake tells me to come visit and have a cup of coffee, I'll listen.
If this is a siren's call then I def got got

Theory: the FBC accidentally did an experiment summoning Sam Lake into the research facility. That's why the expansion is called the Lake house. This is his house now

Look even if Lake didn't invite me, I'd be visiting the Lake House the second they unlock the gate.

u/TheRealShiftyShafts Sep 25 '24
It's not? When that DLC comes out I'll sure be kicking back and enjoying the scenery with a cold one.

I have a couple of Ahma cans waiting for just that.

Later in the evening, Sam will fire up the sauna, and Martti Suosalo and Peter Franzen drop in with snacks and a couple of sixbacks of Ahma beer.

Im replaying TLoU2 right now and just did the hospital part with Abbie. I really glad Lake House isn't scary and is more of a nice scenic place. Im not sure I can take more of them "I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE" vibes.

It would be hilarious if it were true and it was a "cozy game" DLC and the teaser was a misdirection.

u/RabbitSlayre Sep 25 '24
That would be unbelievable. I just want to play as an eccentric Sam Lake, reorganizing and expanding my cozy lake house. Stoking the fire, making coffee and tea, perhaps some pies. Maybe a stew. This is all sounding very good I might need to eat lunch lol

u/Steven0707 Sep 25 '24
Is the Lake of the Lake House Lake from Cauldron Lake or Lake from Sam Lake?

u/CG249 Sep 25 '24
That's not Sam it's Scratch.

u/RabbitSlayre Sep 25 '24
Scratch Lake confirmed??

u/CG249 Sep 25 '24
You know how meta the Alan Wake universe is I wouldn't put it past Scratch to find away to take advantage of it.

If it really was so nice, Ilmo would've turned it into a Spirit Halloween or something by now.

Don’t worry everyone. The bloodbath down the hallway was totally misleading! Just a little misunderstanding! 🤪At the FBC, we’re like a family! We may fight every now and then, but at the end of the day, we love each other and just want to have fun!!! 😁

That’s Alex Casey! Joke aside, that’s one of the great game designer here, my hat to him. He truly made me a fan when I first played Alan Wake 2, which I put aside, then played and finished Control and its dlcs and then back to Alan Wake 2, which I will finish and then do the first one, then probably wait miserably for Control 2. My weird path does fit with the whole tableau that is the remedyverse, somehow… anyway, can’t wait for this DLC.

To be fair, Sam is pretty relaxed in most horrific places. Yötön Yö was a fun vacation for him
