Alan Wake 2, one of last year’s standout games, is back with new content that promises to take players on an even weirder journey. This time, the focus shifts from Alan Wake himself to other intriguing characters in the newly released Night Springs DLC. Remedy’s Control’s Jesse Faden is also back, completing the full circle of what is now known as a series of interconnected games people call “Remedyverse”.
Alan Wake 2 Night Springs DLC trailer drops just a day ahead of release
The Alan Wake 2 Night Springs DLC is set in the eerie world of Night Springs, a TV show within the Alan Wake universe that mirrors the bizarre style of The Twilight Zone. This new content features three “episodes” where players will control three new characters:
- The Waitress, who bears a striking resemblance to Rose Marigold and is obsessed with Alan Wake.
- The Actor, reminiscent of Sheriff Tim Breaker from Alan Wake 2.
- The Sibling, who looks like Jesse Faden, the protagonist from 2019’s Control.
These characters are intended to be distinct from their in-game counterparts, adding to the surreal experience of Night Springs.

Along with the Alan Wake 2 Night Springs DLC, several new features will be available. These include:
