Alan Wake 2first launched in October 2023, as a sequel to the original cult classic psychological thriller from 2010. Remedy Entertainment confirmed that the game would be getting two paid DLC expansions, known as Night Springs and Lake House. Following Geoff Keighley introducing Lake to the stage, Lake made a show of announcing when the game’s DLC would release, even cheekily checking his watch, before dropping how Night Springs would be launched in “less than 24 hours,” along with showing a new trailer for the DLC.

Players who already own or purchasethe Deluxe Edition ofAlan Wake 2can download this first expansion on July 14, 2025.
When Does Alan Wake 2 - Night Springs Expansion Launch?
The content of thefirst expansion forAlan Wake 2includes three new episodes that feature alternate versions of familiar characters from the game, specifically the ones that hail from Night Springs. There are three playable characters featured in this expansion, with one being the Time Breaker, who looks to manipulate time to benefit themselves, another is the North Star, who wishes to unravel the secrets of the world, and the third is a Number One fan, who wishes to fight the various shadows to save her love. The tone is suitably a lot more goofy, though it still has the sameAlan Wakecharm that fans might have expected.
Alan Wake 2had previously won over 200 different awards, including various Game of the Year awards from a variety of shows. While a critical smash, its commercial prospects are not as great, as there have beenreports of Remedy Entertainment struggling to make backAlan Wake 2’s budget. This DLC should be a good way to possibly draw in new fans, along with keep old fans invested in the lore ofAlan Wake 2and the overall Remedyverse.
