First Alan Wake DLC is free to first consumers

Those who intend to purchase a new copy of Alan Wake come its May 18 release date will receive the first piece of downloadable content for the game absolutely free.

Gamers will receive a token inside the box upon any new purchase of the standard or limited collector’s editions. The code will be redeemable on Xbox LIVE when the first piece of downloadable content goes live later this year.

In other news, an Alan Wake flashlight will also go on sale on the same day the game releases. It’ll help ward off evil. Promise. Pre-order it here.
