Alan Wake getting at least two add-on episodes this year photo

Expanding on what we know about Alan Wake's episodic downloadable content -- mostly just that it exists -- Remedy managing director Matias Myllyrinne gave Joystiq some additional insight in a recent interview.

"I think it'll depend a lot on the audience, but certainly we want to -- if we're successful -- we want to do a large 'Season 2,' if you will, at some point," he revealed. "Right now, I'm not allowed to say what we're doing exactly this year."

However, he was able to mention how the team is "going to have more than one episode come out this year." Having unintentionally built Alan Wake up as this incredible thing in my mind, I kind of don't want to think about the game until I am physically putting the disc in my Xbox 360. Same goes for DLC, too.

Why is this at full price if it depends so heavily upon the episodes?

I wouldn't know Alan Wake exists if not for Dtoid. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

Can they just get the damn game out first?
I'm starting to lose hope with it, all the videos I've seen looked really unpolished and half finished.

It's been nearly 6 years and the game still isn't out, but lord knows DLC plans have to be made. If this game is anything less than incredible, it's going to be a fail in my book.

God. I'm really starting to despise DLC. All this means is that eventually no one will be able to enjoy the entire game by just popping the disc in and this only gets worse if the DLC ever vanishes from the net entirely.

What a joke. At least with PC games I can store the install files somewhere else and use them later. Can you even do that with this console DLC stuff?

Alan Wake is going Episodic...WOw! i didn't see that coming. I'm sure each episode is going to wrap up nicely and not end on any kinda cliff hanger. No Sir. Plus they will also be able to get the episodes out in a timely manner. Not take years to make leaving you hanging with only snippets of info to jerk off too. Yup this will be a good thing i can feel it. ;(

Release the friggin game first, then announce that you're expanding its content. The game may turn out to be crap, and people won't care if there are add-ons or not. =)

If the game ends in a way where you KINDA need the DLC to continue understanding the story, I'll be pissed.

That said, hurry up and get released!

KingSigy, are you sure? 6 years? Ok I call dibs! If anyone calls Gran Turismo 5 "a failure" for taking that long, then Alan Wake will be applied too, ok?

You're really not telling us anything new: Alan Wake's development history has been just as much a long-running joke -- if not more of one -- than GT5's.

So I take it they're going to need to try and bilk the consumer for as much money as possible to make up for the game's horribly botched development. Good plan.

Yeah... I don't care about this game anymore now...

And it's depressing when before a game's launch a company announced DLC and it's seen as a good thing...
