Fans eagerly awaiting more details about the highly-anticipated story expansions coming to this year’s smash horror hit Alan Wake 2 may finally get their next big reveal very soon. Developer Remedy Entertainment has strongly hinted that its upcoming Summer Game Fest appearance will bring a major unveiling for the game’s first paid DLC adventure, titled Night Springs.
In a recent cryptic tease on social media, the studio posted an advertisement for the in-universe Night Springs Coffee Company, cheekily assuring “Dark Triangle Coffee. Just coffee, nothing else.” The date of June 7th is highlighted, directly coinciding with Summer Game Fest’s kickoff showcase this Thursday.
Night Springs has been billed as a Twilight Zone-inspired series of self-contained supernatural episodes starring familiar faces from the Alan Wake universe. The expansion allows players to experience the eponymous fictional TV show’s strange tales firsthand as part of the core game’s overarching narrative.
While Remedy has yet to explicitly confirm what Night Springs news will be revealed, a full trailer and release window seem likely given the placement of the tease aligning with one of gaming’s biggest annual showcases. Previous leaks from datamined files have already provided early glimpses at potential content.

Following Night Springs’ launch, a second story DLC titled The Lake House is also planned as part of Alan Wake 2’s paid expansion path extending the base game’s acclaimed psychological horror adventure. Both represent major additive content pieces sustaining the new franchise entry’s momentum following its debut as Remedy’s fastest-selling release to date.
Of course, the ambitious Finnish studio is no stranger to offering meaty narrative-driven DLC additions for its creations. Fans need to look no further than Control’s acclaimed expansions The Foundation and AWE for reassurance that Remedy takes such endeavors seriously.
With the recent tease firmly planting Night Springs on Summer Game Fest’s menu, Alan Wake diehards have even more reason to be glued to their screens when the show kicks off on June 7th. The percolating hype is undoubtedly just the beginning for this new descent into Remedy’s rich cult classic universe.
