Control DLC + Alan Wake Easter Eggs
Love it or hate it Control has been a huge success since its release in August 2019. The game was recently added to PS Now, Sony's streaming service and is even possibly getting a film adaptation.
This week it was announced that the game is also getting its second batch of DLC some point in March, this will be part of the Season Pass but presumably you will also be able to purchase it separately. Along with this first DLC entitled Foundation, there will be some map adjustments and some other fan-requested changes, which Remedy are apparently going to unveil "soon".
Foundation will follow on from Expeditions DLC, which was released in December 2019. We will see our protagonist Jesse descend into the depths beneath the Bureau to restore the Oldest House. This will then be followed by AWE at some point in mid-2020.
Fans of Remedy's popular Alan Wake series are getting excited as the third DLC expansion allegedly links to the series. If you are sceptical there are already a host of references connecting the two games together. The first is an in-game document in the Federal Bureau of Control that states that they went to Bright Falls two days after the events of Alan Wake. You can also find his themos collectable that is being studied by the Bureau. If that isn't enough, Alan Wake himself can even be found within the game. Travel to the fifth floor of the Panopticon in the Containment Sector. If you use the levitate ability you will be able to find both Alan and his thermos!
Throughout this article I have used photographs shot by the charming and talented Quiet_wolf84 throughout his Control journey. Check out the link for more of his work.
