Remedy Entertainment announced prior to Alan Wake 2’s launch last year that the survival horror title would receive two paid expansions following its release, both due out at some point in 2024, and it seems an announcement for at least the first of those two (if not both of them) is coming soon- at least based on some recent teases.
Remedy Entertainment has, for starters, given itself a makeover on social media, having, for instance, changes its username on Twitter to Poison Pill Entertainment (which if, of course, the very opposite of Remedy), and changed its header and profile picture to reflect the same.
These changes are also almost definitely related to Alan Wake, something that Remedy is trying to make as obvious as possible, having published a tweet with the series’ Twitter page tagged, and its Poison Pill Entertainment logo mentioning Night Springs, a name that Alan Wake fans will be very familiar with.
Interestingly enough, Summer Game Fest producer and host Geoff Keighley also seems to be teasing an announcement at the upcoming showcase on June 7, having tagged Remedy in a tweet with the good old google eyes emoji.
As per details shared last year by Remedy, Alan Wake 2’s expansions will be titled Night Springs and The Lake House. The former will see players playing as a number of characters in “self-contained episodes of Night Springs, a fictional TV show set in the world of Alan Wake”, while the latter will focus on “a mysterious facility situated on the shores of Cauldron Lake” where things, predictably enough, have gone wrong.
Whether one (or both) of these expansions will be announced at Summer Game Fest remains to be seen, but given the fact that both are supposed to release at some point in 2024, we’d say now seems like a good time to begin speaking more about them.
Remedy Entertainment previously said that Alan Wake 2 would also be getting free photo mode in spring 2024. Hopefully more details will be revealed soon on that front as well.
Alan Wake 2 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It has sold over 1.3 million units worldwide, becoming Remedy’s fastest-selling game to date, though it has yet to fully recoup its development and marketing costs.
