The extensive time the process took and due to sales not meeting expectations, higher-ups at Remedy thought it best to pursue new IPs. While some sources claim that the exact development time was nearing seven years, compared to Control‘s 3-year manifestation. The original Alan Wake written by Sam Lake reportedly took nearly half a decade to produce. The announcement came as a shocking surprise as hopes to see the franchise return seemed pretty much non-existent. Control 2 Won’t Release Before Alan Wake 2Īt the VGAs 2021, Remedy announced Alan Wake 2. It’ll be interesting to see how well the studio does by making a co-op title after releasing single-player hits for over a decade. With the other one being Codename Vanguard which is a collaboration with 505 Games. So project Condor is Remedy Entertainment’s second co-op game under development. While no official release date for project Condor exists, we expect it to release sometime before Control 2. As you read above, Remedy confirmed Control 2 will be bigger, so evidently, its budget will be heftier as well. Though it’s hard to imagine a setting like Control‘s working well for such a title.Ĭondor’s budget is stated to be €25 million, which is almost near to Control’s €30 million setback. It’s been allegedly revealed to be a 4-player PvE game. Project Condor is an upcoming AAA Control spin-off game.

So don’t expect to see any trailers or updates about the game next year, possibly not until 2024. Control and Alan Wake seem to share the same universe, so you might see Jesse Faden cross paths with Alan Wake soon.Ĭontrol 2 is currently in its concept stage with a few prototype builds being tested. The roster of upcoming games also included remakes of Max Payne 1 & 2, an original free-to-play co-op game, and Alan Wake 2.

In an earnings report for 2021 joined by the CEO of Remedy, the team stated that their next project (Control 2 presumably) is the “most ambitious one yet.” So we’re sure that the veteran team for the company that worked on both the original game and Alan Wake, is going to lead the sequel.Īside from confirming a tentative sequel (or prequel), a spin-off game set in the Control universe is also in production. The project is currently Codenamed Heron, but we’re pretty sure it’s Control 2. Codename Heron, a bigger Control game, is in the concept stage and its prototyping continues.” – Remedy Entertainment “Codename Condor, a spin-off game of Control, continues in the proof-of-concept stage. It’s in the detailed roadmap that they’ve confirmed a new Control game is in development. Unlike most other companies that stay quiet for over a decade about a sequel- I’m pointing at you Rockstar, Remedy Entertainment instead provided a full-on roadmap that discloses every game that’s in development at the company. Remedy Officially Confirmed it’s Working on Control 2 That’s why you could see years pass until a teaser or a trailer for the game arrives. And though Control‘s been a giant success for Remedy, they’ve stated they want to make the sequel bigger and weirder (supposedly).

And as they’ve been working on a handful of other projects, you shouldn’t expect Control 2 to arrive any time soon. Currently, Remedy’s next title to be released is Alan Wake 2.

But we expect that Control 2’s release date will likely be in 2026. Control 2 Release DateĪs of yet, Remedy Entertainment has not claimed a definitive launch window for the game. Christmas came early this time around for Remedy fans as not only is Control 2 heading their way, but so is Alan Wake 2. And due to that, a sequel and a spin-off, which is surprisingly also going to be a AAA title, are officially in the works. Remedy’s Control was a success in more ways than one. The game’s indoor setting inside the multidimensional “Oldest House” was as weird as it could get, but the environment, story, and characters couldn’t have matched the vibes any better. Moving on, they set their eyes on creating what would be their next AAA success on par with their earlier acclaimed shooter- Control.Ĭontrol hit gaming rigs in 2019, and oh boy did it excel expectations. After that, the studio went on to create a new IP, Quantum Break, which wasn’t received as well as Alan Wake. The release of Alan Wake in 2010 was the biggest landmark in Remedy Entertainment’s development career.
