We’ve known for a while now what Finnish studio Remedy is preparing in collaboration with publisher 505 Games now. two projects in the world Control since 2019 (by the way, the action of the series Alan Wake also takes place in the same world). This should be a little closer to completion a smaller title with the working title Condor that promises co-op play. The second project is an unreleased game with the working title Heron. And now she officially becomes one. Control 2.

Remedy and 505 Games will be working together on Control 2 not only on release, but also on development. It’s already reserved for him starting budget 50 million euroswhereas post-release development, marketing and support costs will be split equally between the two companies. In the same way, earnings will be distributed in the future.
Control 2 sec. currently in the conceptual stage of developmentwill be released in the coming years for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and the game will run on the proprietary Northlight engine by Remedy. It has already been used in the first part and it will also be used in the upcoming Alan Wake 2. It is interesting to note that while Control 2 will be released on 505 Games consoles, Remedy will take care of the release on PC.
We have signed an agreement with 505 Games to co-develop and publish Control 2, the sequel to Control. Read the announcement: https://t.co/UD1iFHvCeH

So hopefully there will be a release through more than one client, but given Remedy’s very good relationship with Epic Games, who are in charge of Alan Wake Remastered and Alan Wake 2, it is quite possible that even Control 2 will become an Epic Games Store exclusive. On the other hand, Control can also be found on GOG.com and it has been selling much better on Steam than Epic for a long time now.. But this can be said about almost every game.
It is also worth noting that Control as a brand is still owned by Remedy. Therefore, it is also worth hoping that a series of unsuccessful decisions will not be repeated, as was the case with the first part. In addition to the year-long exclusivity of the PC version for the Epic Games Store, it was mainly an agreement with Sony to release a costume and a short side quest only in the PlayStation 4 version, while this content, which is interesting mainly because of the presence of the voice famous designer Hideo Kojimanot available on other platforms even today.
The release of the paid expansion The Foundation for Xbox One was then artificially delayed by more than two months. compared to other platforms and caused a lot of controversy paid game update on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. To this day, it’s not entirely clear which of these missteps the people at 505 Games are responsible for and which of the developers at Remedy were directly involved, anyway, these are things we definitely don’t want to see again. Let’s hope that Control 2 will be better than the original in terms of access to the platforms and to the clients themselves.
Anyway, 505 Games CEOs Rami Galante and Raffi Galante state in a press release that to date, over 3 million copies of the first volume of Control have been sold. and what the brand is the company’s largest investment to date. On the other hand, Remedy management has assured us that the current announcement will not impact previously announced research plans for the foreseeable future. And although the game is in the early stages of development, we already have it the first concept that suggests that we are in for a rather strange experience again, which means that the hostile force known as the Hiss will, against all odds, leave the confines of the Oldest Home, where the first part took place. You can see the picture above.
“With Control, we plunged into the unknown. We wanted to create something new. Something unusual and unexpected. A world like no other. Thank you, our players, for making Control such a success for us. With Control 2 we are taking another leap into the unknown. It will be an unexpected journey. It will take some time, but to put it mildly, this is the most exciting project I have ever worked on. It’s still in its early stages, but it’s worth the wait.” declared Mikael Kasurinengame director of the Control series, on the official Remedy website.
