Remedy Entertainment has detailed the two paid expansions coming to the survival horror sequelAlan Wake 2next year, and one of them neatly sets up another crossover with supernatural shooter Control.
“Both of our expansions tell new stories and offer exciting gameplay within Alan Wake 2,” the game’sFAQ pageexplains. The first expansion, called Night Springs, revolves around the titular in-universe TV show that acts as an overt homage to The Twilight Zone. The expansion casts us as “several familiar characters” to “experience the unexplainable in multiple self-contained episodes.” The Dark Presence in Alan Wake uses fiction to rewrite reality, so some of the show’s spooky elements may begin to cause havoc outside the telly box screens.
Both expansions will be on sale separately and are also bundled together in the Expansion Pass. Deluxe Edition owners will also gain access to the two expansions, along with a few cosmetic items.
Our five-starAlan Wake 2 reviewcalled it an “imaginative and truly ambitious sequel.” You might want to see ourbeginner tipsbefore getting lost in the dark, though.
