Condor (codename): Remedy reveals first information about the upcoming Control spinoff

After the huge success of Alan Wake 2 last year and Control 2 already in development, one would think that the developers at Remedy Entertainment would already have something to do. However, the Finns currently have another title in the pipeline and thanks to the current financial report we know what to expect from Condor.

What we do know for sure is that Condor will most likely not be the final name of the game, but will only be used as a codename during the early stages of development. But now we have some more concrete information. The whole thing will appear as a live service game and a co-op offshoot will be launched in the Control Universe (or the Remedy Connected Universe).

Remedy describes the game as follows in the current financial report:

„After the Hiss Invasion, the Oldest House is under lockdown: a boiling pot of volatile and dangerous supernatural forces. Trapped within is the last vestige of the Federal Bureau of Control who will need to take a stand and push back to regain control. Desperate times require desperate measures. And everyone’s needed.“

So it’s back to the Oldest House, the headquarters of the Department of Control and the setting for the first game. Sometime after the events of Part 1, the Department attempts to regain control of the place.

„The Control franchise is larger than one story, or one character. With codename Condor, we invite players on a collective journey into the depths of the Oldest House. Within, they’ll face overwhelming enemies and obstacles, but by relying on their gear and each other, they will have a chance for survival.“

Remedy seems to have high hopes for the new IP, after all the new project has a budget of 25 million dollars. Neither the title of the finished game nor a release period are yet known for the new project, but it will probably appear for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. However, production should pick up speed at the end of the first quarter of 2024 and then we can even return to the Oldest House with Condor before Control 2.
