The plot follows suspense-thriller writer Alan Wake in uncovering the mystery behind the disappearance of his wife while on vacation in idyllic small-town Bright Falls, and having to deal with blackouts and visions of characters and ideas from his latest novel, which he can't remember writing, coming to life. The game's first add-on episode, titled "The Signal", will be released July 27, 2010, on Xbox Live. The second episode, titled "The Writer", was revealed by Remedy through the in-game downloadable content menu, the episode is priced at 800 MP with release date listed as TBA. Developer Oskari Hakkinen has announced that there will be multiple downloadable episodes in 2010, bridging the gap between the game's ending, and a possible sequel.
