The Signal, the first piece of downloadable content (DLC) for Remedy’s excellent Alan Wake action horror game, is now available to download, free to those who bought an original copy of the game (by using the included redemption code).

If you got Alan Wake second-hand, however, you’ll unfortunately need to pay for the DLC with 560 of your precious MS Points. Word is, though, that if you’re a fan of what you played in the full game of Alan Wake, The Signal won’t disappoint.

What can you find in this story expansion?

“In this first Add-on pack for Alan Wake we find Wake facing a threat unlike anything he’s ever encountered before - and yet one he’s intimately familiar with. In order to make sense of it all, he must follow the Signal.”

Wonderful! To get a taste (well, a teaser actually) for The Signal you can watch an unnerving trailer for the content over here.

Have a look over here to queue up your download of The Signal for Alan Wake, and be sure to read through El33tonline’s review of the game to see what we thought of it (Hint: It’s amazing!).
