Alan Wake 2 only launched on Friday, but developer Remedy has already shone a light on its post-launch support plans, detailing when and where this particular tale will take us next. Previously, the developer has promised "significant" free DLC, as well as a genuinely intriguing take on New Game Plus, in a future update.
Regarding premium expansions, Remedy currently has two cooking: The first is called Night Springs and is planned for Spring 2024, and The Lakehouse will follow, with a release window to be revealed further down the line. Remedy describes each expansion thusly:
Expansion 1 – Night Springs
- 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.
Expansion 2 – The Lake House
- The Lake House is a mysterious facility situated on the shores of Cauldron Lake set up by an independent government organization 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.
The expansions will be available separately, and players who opted for Alan Wake 2's Deluxe Edition will have access to both at no further charge.

Will absotivelyposolutely definitely get these, this game is superb! Well apart from the jumpscares that is, wish there was a setting to turn those off.
I'm jazzed about Night Springs DLC. If it's truly an anthology style story in Alan Wake that is pretty neat. Let me play as Rose or Pat Maine
@Anke The jumpscare that got me that needed me to take a min to collect myself was early on when Nightingale's horrific face flashed on screen, i was expecting something due to the way music was building tension but not that haha. Funny thing is Remedy got me with the same type of scare in Control around the mid point.
I've got the Deluxe Edition knowing Remedy is great at its DLCs, looking at the DLCs for Control that is. Game is great. Easy GotY contender.
@DennisReynolds even in later scenes when I know they’re coming they still scare the pants off me 😄
This was the reason I won't be playing this at launch. I hate coming back to a game 6-12 months later just to play short story DLC. Often I don't at all, like with Control, which I now wish I had done. Better to wait for the full product imho.
