Alan Wake 2: Night Springs – A new DLC for the popular game, Alan Wake 2, has been announced by Remedy Entertainment. The DLC, titled Night Springs, was revealed by writer and creative director Sam Lake during the Summer Game Fest 2024. The expansion introduces a new playable character, Jesse Faden from the game Control.
The Night Springs DLC is set to be released on September 8th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC via the Epic Games Store. Alongside the DLC announcement, a free Photo Mode will also be added to the game, allowing players to capture and share their favorite moments in Alan Wake 2.
For fans of the physical edition, a physical release of Alan Wake 2: Night Springs is planned for October. This will allow players to own a tangible copy of the game and experience the thrilling world of Alan Wake.
Night Springs draws inspiration from the TV show of the same name, which was featured in the original Alan Wake series. This TV show, heavily influenced by “The Twilight Zone,” returns in the form of an expansion divided into three chapters.
Each chapter of the Night Springs DLC focuses on a different character from the expanded universe of Alan Wake. Two familiar faces, Sheriff Tim Breaker and Rose Marigold, make their return from the original franchise. The surprise addition to the DLC is Jesse Faden, the director of the Federal Bureau of Control and the protagonist of Control, another successful game by Remedy Entertainment.
This crossover between Alan Wake 2 and Control is not the first. In Control’s DLC titled “AWE,” Jesse has telepathic contact with Alan Wake and investigates mysterious events in the city of Bright Falls, the setting of the original Alan Wake game.
Night Springs is part of the Expansion Pass for Alan Wake 2, which is included in the digital Deluxe Edition of the game. Another DLC called The Lakehouse is scheduled to be released in October. Players who own the Standard Edition can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for approximately $90 in order to access both expansions.

In conclusion, Alan Wake 2: Night Springs is an exciting DLC that introduces a new playable character and expands on the beloved universe of Alan Wake. Fans can look forward to the release of the Night Springs expansion on September 8th and the physical edition in October.
