Alan Wake 2 will receive "pretty significant" DLCs free of charge

Alan Wake 2 is scheduled to arrive on October 27 after being pushed back from its original release date of October 17. But, prior to the full launch of the game, Alan Wake 2’s creative director Sam Lake has announced that free DLCs are in the works for the title. 

At EGX, Lake shared the news that Alan Wake 2 would be receiving free DLCs eventually, stating that “we do have free DLC drops coming and they are pretty significant. I’m expecting us to be going more into detail pretty soon after the game is out, but all of that will be free for everyone who gets the game.”

No details on the content of these DLCs were shared by Lake following this statement, but the FAQ section on the Alan Wake website suggests that two work-in-progress expansions for the game will be titled “Night Springs” and “Lake House.” Whether or not these correlate to the free expansions in question is currently unclear, but as Lake said - more details will be released once the game has launched. 

Remedy had already confirmed earlier this year that players can expect both free and paid expansions once the game is released, but there were no details about how in-depth the free content would be. With the news shared by Sam Lake being labeled as “pretty significant”, there is already a lot of anticipation surrounding the launch of these DLCs and what they could hold, even though the game is yet to be released.

Although we have no information on when more details regarding these DLCs will be shared, it’s worth keeping an eye on any Alan Wake 2 social media pages alongside the official website. Hopefully, it won’t be too long before we can sink our teeth into some more information.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
