When’s Alan Wake getting his long-deserved sequel? We have no idea, but Remedy Entertainment is bringing its acclaimed thriller novelist back for Control’s next expansion. Dubbed “Awe,” the DLC will take protagonist Jesse Faden to the Federal Bureau of Control’s Investigations Sector, which includes a very familiar place: Alan Wake’s town of Bright Falls.

The expansion will be available on August 27th for PlayStation 4. Remedy Entertainment hasn’t confirmed whether the PC version, which is still exclusive to the Epic Games Store, is getting it on the same date.

“As Director of the Federal Bureau of Control, Jesse Faden must enter the Investigations Sector and confront the creature lurking within this long-abandoned part of the Bureau,” reads the expansion’s description. “This threat has haunted the sector for years, waiting on the other side of the sealed Firebreak. In order to reclaim the Investigations Sector from its clutches, Jesse will need to explore the numerous Altered World Events investigated here, including one from the town of Bright Falls.”
