- Alan Wake 2 The Lake House expansion
- Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
- Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
We don't have a confirmed release date for the Alan Wake 2 DLC and this week's Xbox Partner Preview showcase has a gameplay first look lined up for us, but given the expansion is pegged for an October release, it would make sense to get the launch date given we're halfway through the month already.
It's likely the Alan Wake 2 DLC release date will be Tuesday, October 22 given the mentions this date for the Physical Deluxe Edition which includes the expansion; and it seems even more likely based on Australian retailer, EB Games, which says, "Please note due to the global release of Alan Wake 2: Deluxe Edition, the in disc DLC for the Lake House Expansion will not unlock until midnight on 22nd Oct 2024." The timing may be either 12am local time, or 12am in that specific region, but we'll undoubtedly get confirmation during the Xbox Partner Preview showcase.
Xbox fans will also be treated to a new Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii trailer, as well as a look at a handful of bosses from the fantasy action title, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
