One of the most popular developers in the industry is undoubtedly Remedy. Firstly for giving us this eternal gift called Max Payne and secondly for doing the same with Alan Wake. But of course, the studio has always shown a knack for spectacular action. And the good proof is the first episode of “Control”.
The title, which was even nominated for game of the year – and in fact, for many it was -, received up to two DLCs that connected the franchise to Alan Wake himself, making a sort of from “Remedyverse”. Last year, the developer confirmed that it was working on several projects, including one codenamed “Heron”. Well it finally turned out to be Control 2.
Control 2 will be a big budget title
We met him through this joint statement from Remedy itself and 505 Games, which are currently putting the project in the concept stage. In principle, the budget is 50 million and the studio will retain all intellectual property on it, although all profits will be shared between them and 505 Games equally.
Control 2, which we can now officially call this, will only be available on next-gen machines, Xbox Series X | S, PS5 and of course, on PC, again using the famous Northlight engine, which is also used for Alan Wake’s sequel. Perhaps it’s too early to know more about the plot or how he’ll approach the new adventures of “The Director,” but that’s definitely good news.
