Microsoft announced that the long-awaited game Alan Wake will be receiving DLC after its launch in May.

The announcement was made during Microsoft's keynote address at the recent CES 2010. It shouldn't come as a surprise since every other game is receiving DLC, but Alan Wake is joining the club and will offer extra content after the game's release. No word on what it will be or what it will cost you yet though. Alan Wake is being developed to be episodic like a TV show, so post-launch episodes for the game just make sense. Alan Wake is on the home stretch towards its release this spring so hopefully this episode strategy works out better than Alone in the Dark's and comes out quicker than Half-Life 2's.

Alan Wake is hopefully going to be released this May exclusively for the Xbox 360 for now unless it runs into another delay.
