    Holy shit it already says altered world events right there.

    Also, for the OP, fresher confirmation right here from Thomas Puha (thank you!)



    Debating on getting this (the season pass) day one on X but I've played the game kinda recently and wanted to play thorough it all again, it may be too soon. But we'll see.

    DLC bringing some nice additional features and content.
    To help, you can use a new Service Weapon form called Surge, in essence a sticky grenade launcher, which is great for blowing stuff up. You can do a lot of that in Control as you fight the Hiss, since Surge uses up to four explosives that can be remotely detonated. And you'll need it to fight the new enemy type, the Hiss Airborne Ranger, which can fly and attacks Jesse with a shotgun.

    One of the most requested features from the community has been the ability to replay missions. While we can't quite offer you that, there is an Altered Item that looks very much like an arcade machine, which resides in the Investigations Sector hub. It enables you to replay four boss fights from the campaign (as long as you have already completed them), as well as the much-loved Ashtray Maze. On top of that, you can also play a brand new horde mode, and the machine contains a few other surprises we won't spoil here. There's definitely some excellent rewards up for grabs, including a new outfit for Jesse.

    We also have a free August update coming for all Control owners that brings along a new ability upgrade, additional usability options, and more checkpoints added to some of the trickier campaign missions.

    By now, you have maybe seen the trailer for AWE, our next expansion for Control. For over 10 years, we've had a crazy dream. The idea that the tales told in some of our games would be connected to each other, a connected world of stories and events with shared characters and lore. Each game is a stand-alone experience, but each game is also a doorway into a larger universe with exciting opportunities for crossover events.

    Slowly, patiently, behind the scenes, we've been planning and plotting to make this a reality. I'm absolutely thrilled to tell you that now, the time has come to take the first concrete step on this road, establishing Remedy Connected Universe. You have no idea how happy it makes me to be able to finally make this statement.

    What took place in 2010 in Alan Wake is one of the cases that the Federal Bureau of Control has been investigating. The AWE expansion is the first official Remedy Connected Universe crossover event, bringing more Alan Wake lore into Control.

    And this is still just a humble beginning. We're already hard at work on a future Remedy game that also takes place in this same universe.

    I hope you enjoy the AWE expansion.

    Cheers,

    Sam Lake, Creative Director, Remedy.
