Alan Wake 2’s creative director has teased Remedy’s post-launch plans for the title, telling the audience at EGX this weekend that the DLC will be “pretty significant”.
“We do have free DLC drops coming and they are pretty significant,” he said during a stage interview. “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.”
Earlier this yearRemedyconfirmed plans for both free content as well as “two paid expansions”. According toa website FAQ, the expansions are called Night Springs and the Lake House.

Previouslyscheduled to launch on October 17,Alan Wake 2will now be released on October 27 forPS5,Xbox Series X/SandPCvia theEpic Games Store.
Remedydecided to hold the game back for 10 daysso it wouldn’t clash with other big October releases such asSuper Mario Bros WonderandSpider-Man 2.
VGC recently played a significant portion of the sequel, which was covered in our extensiveAlan Wake 2 preview.
“If the original Alan Wake was inspired by Twin Peaks, then Alan Wake 2’s version of the Pacific Northwest definitely leans towards True Detective,” it reads.
“Powered by Remedy’s Northlight Engine, Alan Wake 2 is a seriously stunning game, with scenes that often overshadow evenCapcom’s equally-gorgeous alpine cultist rompResident Evil 4remake.”
