We got our first real look at the upcomingAlan Wake 2expansion Night Springs at tonight’s Summer Game Fest showcase, and even better, we also got a release date—and even better than that, it’s tomorrow.
The result is three “highly stylized episodes, each offering a unique slice of the Alan Wake universe,” featuring familiar—but also very different—characters to play: The Actor, The Sibling, and The Waitress.
The Sibling, a newcomer to Bright Falls who could easily pass for Federal Bureau of Control director Jesse Faden, is on the hunt for her missing brother (who for some reason is being held at Coffee World) in the episode entitledNorth Star. Try the coffee!
Finally, The Waitress—a dead ringer for Oh Deer Diner waitress Rose Marigold—takes the lead inNumber One Fan, the story of a woman saving her idol, The Writer, from dangers including critics and his evil twin, the Bad Boy.

Alan Wake 2: Night Springs will be out on June 8, and yes, that is tomorrow. It’s not being sold separately, interestingly enough, but is available through the expansion pass that’s included with theAlan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition—if you have the standard edition, you can upgrade to the deluxe (which also includes the second expansion, The Lake House, coming in October) for $20.
The Night Springs expansion is the big news here, but it’s not the only news: Alan Wake 2’s photo mode, with “preset and custom preset picture settings, full-frame camera lens ranges, selection of effects, lighting settings and frames, and the ability to hide characters,” is also coming on June 8 as part of a free update, and Remedy also has separate physical and limited collector’s editions of the game coming later this year—sadly, those will only be available for the console versions of the game.
