Remedy had its best year thanks to the success of CONTROL

Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment – known for titles like Max Payne, Alan Wake Y CONTROL– reported in its most recent financial report that 2020 has been its best year. This is especially interesting considering that they did not release any new games.

According to the report, the studio’s income increased by 30%, reaching 41.1 million Euros.

What is the reason for this success? It’s all thanks to CONTROL

, the excellent action game that they released in August 2019. This title did not have great sales during its launch, but it seems that its popularity has been growing over the months. 2020 also saw the launch of CONTROL: Ultimate Edition on various platforms and its appearance on subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass and Amazon Luna.

Remedy Entertainment CEO Tero Virtala said the continued success of CONTROL shows that “great games have long life cycles.” He added that “they will continue to support the game and take it even further, but their development team is gradually shifting to work on a new game.”

Remedy is currently working in partnership with Smilegate to create the single player campaign for Crossfire. They are also working on a cooperative title called Vanguard and in two games for Epic Games: a AAA and a smaller game. Both will come to PC and consoles.
