One Alan Wake 2 fan theory seems to be all but officially confirmed, with its DLC possibly doing so while adding more mysteries into the mix.

Posted on the official Alan Wake 2 Twitter account, a folded announcement for Night Spring's Coffee World accompanies the note to "join the percolation on June 7th..." The image portrays an hourglass motif of a coffee filter over a triangle cup, urging the viewers to join them and "Make the World Coffee." It had been previously rumored that Remedy would partake in Summer Game Fest 2024. This tweet strongly suggests the studio's participation in the event, and it points players towards a Night Springs announcement.

Remedy Teases Night Springs DLC Announcement

Details concerning the Night Springs DLC are scarce. Night Springs is a show in the RCU that broadcasts material similar to Twin Peaks and The Twilight Zone. The expansion will allow players to play as different characters through episodes of the TV show. Originally, a spring release for Alan Wake 2Night Springs was scheduled, though the end of the season is fast approaching. No official delay has been announced, and more information, including a set release date, could be revealed at SGF.

The second expansion, Lake House, could also make an appearance at Summer Game Fest. Nothing is known about the content of the DLC with Remedy focusing on marketing for Night Springs, but two announcements may occur. The Lake House is a shadowy government facility on the edge of Cauldron Lake. The expansion will dive further into the purpose of this location and its history. Set to launch in 2024 as well, the estimated deadlines for the DLCs further reinforce the need for a Night Springs release date announcement at SGF.

Remedy noted in its most recent earnings that Alan Wake 2 still hasn't broken even on earnings, but expects the Night Springs DLC to contribute to profits once released. The cost of the DLC hasn't been revealed, though players possessing the Expansion Pass will automatically obtain the expansion when it becomes available.
