Back in May, Remedy announced that Alan Wake 2 would be getting both free DLC and two paid expansions, though details on either were relatively light outside of the names of the expansions. With the launch of Alan Wake 2 right around the corner, Remedy is opening up a bit more on the game’s post-launch support, revealing that players should expect Alan Wake 2 free DLC to be “significant.”

Speaking at the EGX Theatre, Sam Lake, the Creative Director of Remedy Entertainment, had this to say about Alan Wake 2 upcoming free DLC.

Question: What should fans expect from Alan Wake 2 when it lands in two weeks?

Sam Lake – “We’ve talked about cool things, with music, and with live action. Maybe I’ll just say we haven’t gone really far into explaining any of the DLC material. For sure, we have named the actual bigger paid DLCs, which are Night Springs, which might be something that rings bells, and the Lake House. But beyond that, we do have free DLC drops coming. They, too, are pretty significant, and I’m expecting us to be going more into detail pretty soon after the game is out. But all of that will be free for anyone who gets the game.”

This sounds like it will be more than just simple cosmetics, though how significant remains to be seen. Could we be getting slices of side stories while we wait for the paid expansions to drop? I guess we’ll find out shortly after the launch.

Alan Wake 2 launches on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC this October 27 as a digital-only title. To prepare yourselves for what’s to come, read our early hands-on preview of Alan Wake 2, where we give you plenty of reasons to be excited.
