It will be a sequel to the original game jointly developed and published with 505 Games for Xbox Series X.S, PC and PS5. Currently It is in the design stage and is being developed using Remedy’s Northlight Engine.

On the other hand, investments in marketing, development and post-launch support, as well as future net income, will be divided equally between the two companies. Remedy is working on the PC version, while the console versions will be released by 505 Games.

“We’re grateful to the entire gaming community who have made Control such an enduring and beloved game, and we’re even more thrilled to present Control 2.”
