Remedy has announced that Alan Wake 2’s first expansion, Night Springs, launches on June 8.

The release date was announced at the Summer Game Fest showcase on Friday, where the trailer above was also released.

Remedy’s creative director Sam Lake appeared on stage to introduce the DLC, which he said contains three episodes featuring three fan favourite playable characters.

He also announced that the currently digital-only game will receive a physical release this fall / autumn.

Physical Deluxe and Collector’s editions will be available to pre-order starting on June 8.

“The first expansion for Alan Wake 2 brings three new episodes featuring some familiar characters as they experience the unexplainable,” reads a description accompanying the new Night Springs trailer. “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.”
