AAA Third-person Action Game ‘Control’ of 2019 Announces the Development of Its Sequel Has Finally Started

Remedy Entertainment has finally announced that Control 2 is in development. Remedy is the developer of the beloved Max Payne series Quantum Break and Alan Wake. They have expertise in creating stylized yet convoluted stories, where monologues are always in.

Remedy has finally announced that they are developing the sequel to their critical and financial hit Control. And that they are co-developing and co-publishing it with publisher 505 games. 

Control was released in 2019 to much fanfare and critical acclaim. It was an instant success thanks to its unique visual style and a gripping twin peak-inspired story.

Control 2: Another Leap Into the Unknown

While making the announcement on Remedy’s official website, Control’s director said, “We are excited to deepen our cooperation with Remedy and continue the success story of Control together. Since its launch in 2019, Control has sold over 3 million copies,” said Rami and Raffi Galante, co-CEOs of Digital Bros Group/505 Games

The excitement for this game is sky-high, as expected because Remedy hardly disappoints its fans. The first game itself was a milestone in terms of Story and visuals. Some people call it one of the first perfect showcases of Ray tracing in gaming.

Remedy Struck a Deal With 505 Games

505 games, the co-developers on the sequel, are mainly a publisher responsible for publishing games such as, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, the PC version of Death Stranding, and of course, the first Control game.

According to Remedy’s announcement, rights to the Intellectual Property would remain with Remedy. The development cost of around EUR 50 Million, marketing, post-launch investments, and the future revenues earned by the games would be split between the two companies. The game is being built on Remedy’s proprietary Northlight engine, and would release for Ps5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
