New Game Plus will also track unlocks from all playthroughs, though a checkpoint from a regular run and fresh NG+ file is required.
Remedy Entertainment has released a new update for Alan Wake 2, which is live on all platforms. It fixes an issue where players couldnât pick up Sagaâs inventory capacity upgrades in two locations. More importantly, it corrects some issues with New Game Plus (introduced in The Final Manuscript update).
New Game Plus will now track unlocks from all your previous games instead of just the first playthrough. First, you need a checkpoint from a regular playthrough and then start a fresh New Game Plus run, which means itâs not retroactive for ongoing NG+ playthroughs.
The patch also removes duplicate Charms from oneâs inventory and prevents the acquisition of duplicates. The manuscript page in Bright Fallsâ forest shack is also fixed and can be acquired by players.
Alan Wake 2 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.
