Alan Wake 2 Universe Grows with Control 2 Set for Production

Remedy Entertainment Unveils Development Updates Across its Game Portfolio

Remedy Entertainment recently shared progress updates on several key titles, including the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake, Control 2, and Codename Condor, in their latest financial report. These updates offer a glimpse into the studio's development pipeline and future publishing strategies.

Control 2 Reaches Production Readiness

The highly anticipated sequel, Control 2, has achieved a significant milestone: production readiness. This means the game is now fully playable, and the development team is shifting focus to scaling up production, encompassing rigorous testing, performance optimization, and quality assurance to meet Remedy's high standards. Additionally, the Control Ultimate Edition, developed in partnership with Apple, is slated for release on Apple silicon Macs later this year.

Codename Condor in Full Swing

Remedy's foray into live-service gaming, Codename Condor (a multiplayer title within the Control universe), is currently in full production. The team is actively developing diverse maps and mission types, with both internal and limited external playtesting underway to refine gameplay and gather valuable feedback. The game will launch with a "service-based fixed price" model.

Alan Wake 2 and Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake Updates

The Alan Wake 2 expansion, Night Springs, has received positive critical acclaim and player response. The base game itself has already recouped the majority of its development and marketing costs, demonstrating strong market performance. A physical Deluxe Edition is launching October 22nd, with a Collector's Edition following in December. Pre-orders are live on the official Alan Wake website.

The Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake, a co-production with Rockstar Games, has transitioned from production readiness to full production. The team is concentrating on creating a complete, playable experience, while simultaneously refining key gameplay elements to deliver a unique and memorable remake.

Future Focus on Control and Alan Wake

Remedy's future strategy emphasizes the Control and Alan Wake franchises. Following the acquisition of full publishing rights for both IPs from 505 Games, Remedy is carefully evaluating self-publishing and other potential models. Further details on their long-term publishing strategy will be revealed before the year's end, including exploring self-publishing options and potential partnerships.

Remedy emphasizes the importance of these two franchises within their Remedy Connected Universe, stating that their growth and expansion will be pivotal to the company's future. Further announcements regarding these IPs and upcoming game developments are expected soon.
