While we’ve known for a while that Remedy was working on a sequel to Control — a 2019 action-adventure game that dealt with paranormal investigations — we’ve finally got some new key details.
“I’m now proud to confirm that the bigger-budget Control game, also known as Codename Heron, is Control 2, a full-blown sequel to our award-winning game Control,” says Tero Virtala, CEO of Remedy.
Remedy Entertainmentsharedon Friday that Control 2 is being co-developed and co-published by 505 Games, the publisher of Control. The game is being developed forXbox Series X,Xbox Series S, PC, and PS5, much like Remedy Entertainment’s other current projects. Control 2 is some ways off, as it is currently in the “concept” phase. Remedy also shared that over 3 million copies of Control have been sold since launch.
Celebrating the announcement, Remedy shared the first piece of concept art for Control 2, which you can see below:
In addition to Control 2, Remedy Entertainment is currently working on the long-awaitedAlan Wake 2, which is being described as a full survival-horror game and is currently slated to launch at some point in 2023. While Remedy originally planned to show gameplay back during the summer,the team walked this decision backin order to focus on actually building out all of the game, instead of just polishing a vertical slice.
Outside of these games, Remedy Entertainment is also working onremakes of Max Payne and Max Payne 2in partnership with Rockstar Games, as well as another game set in the Control universe, codenamed Condor and described as being a co-op experience.
With all of these upcoming projects in various stages of development, another big question emerges: Just how many moresongs from the Old Gods of Asgardwill we be seeing?
