Although the game is only launching today, developer Remedy has already revealed the first details of two expansions it’s planning for Alan Wake II to come at some point in 2024.
The first of these expansions is called Night Springs and is based on the titular in-world TV series, and is currently slated for a late Autumn launch next year, which Remedy has described as follows in a press release:
“Visions and dreams. Fiction is written and coming true. Fiction collapses and remains just words on a page. These are those stories… in Night Springs. Play as several familiar characters from the world of Alan Wake and experience the unexplainable in multiple self-contained episodes of Night Springs, a fictional TV show set in the world of Alan Wake.”
The second of the planned expansions will be called The Lakehouse, and hasn’t yet been given a tentative release window, but also has a short description courtesy of Remedy:
“The Lake House is a mysterious facility situated on the shores of Cauldron Lake set up by an independent government organisation to conduct secret research… until something goes wrong. Explore the Lake House and embark on two separate adventures as the realities of Saga Anderson and Alan Wake collide again.”
We just published our full review of Alan Wake II, scoring it a 9.5 and saying, “While I’m sure there were countless drafts and edits throughout the journey to this point, this Alan Wake II is proof that great things come to those who wait. Like breaking through after a thirteen year stretch of writer’s block, I can only imagine the sense of relief in letting this monster of a game loose.”
