Update (Fri, 11:30pm): Well, it's official! The Alan Wake 2 Night Springs expansion is coming to Xbox Series X|S tomorrow, June 8th! We'll drop Remedy's reveal trailer for the new add-on up above.
It's also been announced that the game is getting a physical edition that's releasing later this year!
"Step into the world of Night Springs.
The first expansion for Alan Wake 2 brings three new episodes featuring some familiar characters as they experience the unexplainable. While similar to previously known characters, they are different—Night Springs versions of themselves.
Become the Time Breaker, manipulating time to rewrite your destiny. Embrace the cosmic mysteries as the North Star and unravel secrets that defy reason. Or channel your inner obsession as the Number One Fan, fighting the shadows in pursuit of truth and love."
Original Article (Wed, 6pm): In and amongst an absolutely stacked 2023 full of amazing games on Xbox, Alan Wake 2 still managed to stand out as a real high point, so, it's safe to say we're excited for Remedy's upcoming DLC plans. Those plans are mostly hidden away in Bright Falls right now, but the team is teasing a reveal for Summer Game Fest 2024.
Taking to Twitter this week, Remedy has posted a typically-cryptic tweet about something Alan Wake-related happening on June 7 - which happens to be the exact date of Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest livestream. Here's the post in question, along with a cheeky response from Xbox developer Compulsion Games:
All we really know about Alan Wake 2 DLC is that Remedy is planning two expansions to the 2023 hit, both of which make up the game's 'Deluxe Edition Upgrade'. That upgrade, along with the base game, is on sale right now on the Xbox Store - although it's probably worth waiting for Friday's show before putting down your hard earned cash on the upgrade!
Anyway, this is almost certainly a teaser for whatever Alan Wake 2's first expansion turns out to be (Geoff and Remedy often work together), and if you want to be there for the grand reveal, make sure you're tuning into Summer Game Fest later this week.
Excited for more Alan Wake 2, Night Springs fans? Tell us what you want Remedy to do with the DLC down below!

I need them to percolate a better than 20% discount on the base game…
Cannot wait for this! Alan Wake 2 was my GoTY last year. Incredible game.
My advice. Dont buy this game on Series X, the lip syncing is still not fixed and they haven’t updated the game since February or issued any sort of statement since. I can’t play while it plods along like a bad dub. Would not even consider DLC.
@Fenbops Weird. I played the game on Series X and didn’t experience any issues with the lip syncing.
@awp69 I mean, that’s great, but they did acknowledge a problem and said they were working on a fix.
5th February 2024
‘ We would like to assure players who have encountered audio delay on Xbox consoles that the Alan Wake 2 development team is aware of the issues and continues to work on resolving them.’
Still nothing.
Give me a physical copy and I’ll consider buying this game.
Till then, I guess I’ll sleep on Alan Wake 2.
i love the way this game looks but i would never want to play it. i watch it on twitch.
Amazing can't wait to hit download and play this best game of last year by a mile for me truly greatness!!!🤯
I'm getting more Control crossover vibes with that post. Can't wait!
Another game I need to get back to and complete.
One of my favorite developers out there. Can’t wait.
This was easily my GotY last year, I can’t wait for more!
Great game. ..got it on ps and got the platinum.....will defo keep an eye out for the dlc
Give me more of that Remedy Connected Universe please and thank you.
So ready for more.
This game is incredible.
Also great news for people who was hoping for the physical copy of the game that was also announced tonight
PHYSICAL COPY !!! YES !!! NOW I'M GIVING THEM MY MONEY !!
(and my Baldur's Gate 3 copy just arrived ! Happy day, indeed !!)
More excited about a physical edition than DLC. Should have been ar launch though
Is the DLC exclusive to the Deluxe Edition or can it be purchased standalone? It probably makes sense to just buy the DE upgrade for just £12 that’s in the sale right now as I just own the base game.
Kind of seems like a scam on the physical editions. Are they trying to get people to double dip? I'm glad I haven't purchased the game yet.
@BacklogBrad If you have it digitally no real need to double dip for physical I'm sure its for the people who need a physical version and that's probably you because you never bought it digitally despite being interested everyone wins no scam! It's a great game🧎
@MaccaMUFC It can be purchased separately my red brother💪
@Ricky-Spanish scam to those who really wanted a physical copy for their collection but still bought this game because they were told it wasn't going to have a physical copy available. It's a bad practice to announce no physical copies then almost a year later release it physically anyway.
Luckily I decided to just not play the game instead of buying it digitally.
@BacklogBrad So they can't win basically maybe they were seeing if there was demand for a physical version before deciding weather or not to make one there obviously is so there you go and you get what you want it you bought it digitally no need to buy physically useless you want to it's a want by you the consumer there's a difference between wants and needs they did nothing wrong you would of moaned if they never did a physical version so just be happy it's easier 😊
@Ricky-Spanish there really is no excuse for a highly anticipated AAA game to not launch with physical copies.
They just wanted to maximize profit margins but the game didn't sell well so maybe they are realizing the error of their ways. Either way it is deceptive to all those people that already bought it.
@Ricky-Spanish Thanks man but I’m just going to get the DE upgrade for £12 as I’m definitely getting the Lake House expansion too when it eventually releases 👍🏻
Edit: The Night Springs DLC is actually only available with the Deluxe Edition of the game and also with the DE upgrade, it’s not available to purchase on its own. Like I said it seems to make more sense to buy the DE upgrade anyway.
@Fenbops I know they addressed that there is an issue, but I also did not experience this.
@MaccaMUFC Sorry bud taught you just meant the deluxe upgrade not individual dlc
@BacklogBrad I disagree to much connecting dots that aren't there for me but it's true some people are just never pleased but you do you buddy have a great day
