Publisher Whitethorn Games (@WhiteThornGames) and developer Gamious (@Gamious) confirmed that the long-awaited Lake (@Lake_The_Game) prequel holiday-themed DLC, Lake: Season's Greetings, will release on XBOX, PlayStation and PC on November 15. Get a closer look at the story players will unravel in Season’s Greetings.

Make this a December to remember! Lake: Season's Greetings takes place during 1985’s holiday season, one year before the original Lake game. Players take on the role of Thomas Weiss, an amiable mail carrier and father to Lake’s protagonist, Meredith Weiss. Changing the perspective from Meredith to her father, players will gain an understanding of the Weiss family dynamics and an insight into a snow-covered Providence Oaks from a long-time resident’s point of view.

Not only will players learn more about the familiar faces they have grown to love from the main story, but Season’s Greetings introduces five completely new characters to the town of Providence Oaks, each with their very own storylines.

The DLC will also provide more background to some unanswered questions that were teased in Lake. Following the ideals of the base game, Season’s Greetings will continue to focus on slice-of-life themes and relaxing vibes, this time embedded in a comfy holiday setting. So curl up with some hot cocoa and a copy of Season’s Greetings because it isn’t Christmas until Thomas Weiss has delivered the holiday cheer.
