It should go without saying that these constitute mild to major spoilers for the DLC as well as the Alan Wake universe in general. Let's start with the familiar faces first:

Mr. Door

His end goal remains a mystery (Image via Remedy Entertainment)

The enigmatic Mr. Door has been a key character in Alan Wake 2 as he is the host of the Night Springs show. He appeared in the base game and is known to be an interdimensional entity that can travel between worlds and exist within multiple simultaneously.

She is based on Rose Merigold from the Oh Deer Diner in the base Alan Wake 2 game. Players will greet her when they enter the establishment, but this time, they will control a version of her in Episode 1: The Number One Fan.

Perhaps the most surprising reveal during the DLC's debut at the Summer Game Fest 2024, players control a version of Jesse Faden - whom they will recognize as the main protagonist of Control. Here, she is in search of her missing brother - a reference to Control's main plot - and must navigate the peculiar Coffee World to find him. She stars in Episode 2: North Star.
