Remedy Entertainment should have won Game of the Year at The Game Awards for Alan Wake 2. Just post that. And now the Helsinki-based company is revealing the DLC for the Alan Wake 2 Night Springs expansion.
The expansion adds physical versions of Alan Wake 2 as well as a new photo mode and a new adventure in Bright Falls on PC on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series
I’ve seen a demo of the adventure, which will take you back to the mysterious and always volatile world of the Dark Place in Alan Wake 2’s first expansion, Night Springs.
Trapped in a dark, mysterious place, Alan Wake searches for an unexpected escape
The medium: his imagination. While he was writing the scripts for the beloved TV show “Night Springs,”
It inadvertently reveals the fabric of reality, plunging players into a surreal journey where…
The ordinary turns into the unexpected.

It’s the character from Control. and the waitress (Jessica Priddy), based on the character Rose Marigold, from Bright Falls Restaurant.
Episodes
Time breaker
The actor, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Bright Falls Mayor Tim Breaker, is a multiversal hero in Time Breaker. His character must track down the Lord of the Multiverse and prevent him from killing the Multiverse Hero’s selves across parallel universes.
North star
The Sibling, an unknown woman who closely resembles FBC director Jesse Faden, is trying to find her missing brother, who is being held captive in Coffee World. I spent a lot of time in Coffee World, either finding things, getting lost, or fighting.
The number of fans is one
The waitress, who bears a striking resemblance to Oh Deer Diner’s waitress, Rose Marigold, must save her writer idol from the danger he finds himself in. To do this, she must confront the writer’s critics, and the bad boy who is the writer’s evil twin. Her cheerful and cheerful personality made her a popular extra.

Teasers
The teasers from Summer Game Fest begin with a video that takes you to The Dark Place inside a TV, inside a Twilight Zone-like Night Springs show. Mr. Dorr points out from the show that the word “fan” is short for fanatic.
The demo I saw shows a woman named Rose Marigold, dressed as a waitress at Oh Deer Diner in Bright Falls. She is a fan of writer Alan Wake, and has dedicated herself to finding the missing man. The diner is busy and she fills coffee cups for customers. Rose has written her own book (fanfiction) and created an Alan Wake fan site.
A fish mounted on the wall talks to Rose. He asks for her help. She has to save him and go to her room full of accessories: an armory. “Extreme conditions require extreme rifles,” she says.
Everyone cheers as Rose heads off on her quest. You head to the shipyard and start shooting Taken. She slaughters them all. Set in broad daylight, the Rose episode is a humorous departure from the nightmare world of Alan Wake 2. You don’t have to worry about ammo.
The duration of each episode is about an hour. They’re linear, and they’re all set in Night Springs. There is no clue panel/plot panel in this panel. The episodes were written as scripts by Alan Wake, who is stuck in The Dark Place trying to escape.
The second expansion is coming later.
