Remedy’s multiplayer shooter will wait: Control’s creators delay production

Known internally as Vanguard, the game has yet to pass the proof-of-concept stage.

Delays are the order of the day in video games, and although users usually only receive announcements about internally presented productions, companies are rarely so transparent that they constantly review their plans. this is the case SolutionEntertainmenttoday announced a delay in development times for Vanguard.

Vanguard is actually the codename for a free-to-play cooperative multiplayer shooter developed in close collaboration with Tencent Games. We first learned of this at the end of 2021, and we were left with a brief update on the project in May. Either way, Remedy Entertainment has assured that development is in the concept phase and has now confirmed that it will continue there until at least 2023.

“We’ve decided to keep the game, codenamed Vanguard, in the proof-of-concept phase for an extra period of time, and delaying significant expansion of the development team “By 2023,” we read a statement from the creators of Control, in which they warned that this would mean lower financial performance than 2021. More details on this will be announced to shareholders on August 12.

There are five projects on Remedy

This decision is only possible due to the current capacity of Remedy Entertainment. The company claims to hold up to five top-notch titles and has learned to keep their projects in the early stages when needed, so each responsible team has the necessary time to design, prepare and test key elements of the business. before furthering its development. In the letter shared by the study responsible for Alan Wake, we said, “By doing this, we support the development of games that are both profitable and quality.”

What are those projects? They don’t go deep in the statement, but we have the details of past statements. So there’s Condor, a spin-off of Control, Heron, an ambitious video game about this universe, and Alan Wake, still scheduled for 2023. Nor can we forget the remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2, co-developed with Rockstar. We hope to have more information on all of them soon.
