The content will be free with all new purchases of the game, while a second episode coming later this year is expected to be sold commercially.
UK editor of Xbox Live Dan Maher said: "The Alan Wake Add-on content will be available July 28, 2010. Please hold on to your token card to redeem the content at that time."
While no details of the episode have been revealed, Remedy Entertainment's Oskari Häkkinen told DS in an interview earlier this year: "We are going to do DLC, but it'll be a bridge from season one to season two. Consider it to be a special, like a Christmas or Easter special, so we'll do a couple of DLCs which will bridge these two stories to continue season one to season two."
It has also been confirmed that facial animation will be improved for the downloadable episode.
Alan Wake was released this week for Xbox 360.
