Control 2 Nears Completion

Control 2, the highly anticipated sequel, has reached the "production readiness stage." This signifies a playable build exists, and the team is now focused on scaling production, encompassing rigorous testing, performance optimization, and quality assurance to meet established standards. Additionally, the Control Ultimate Edition, developed in partnership with Apple, is slated for release on Apple silicon Macs later this year.

Internal and limited external playtesting is underway to refine gameplay and gather feedback. This marks Remedy's debut in the live-service game market, with a planned "service-based fixed price" release model.

Alan Wake 2 and Max Payne Remake Progress

Alan Wake 2's Night Springs expansion has received positive critical and fan reception, and the game itself has recouped a significant portion of its development and marketing costs. A physical Deluxe Edition will launch on October 22nd, followed by a Collector's Edition in December. Pre-orders are open on the official Alan Wake website.

The Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake, a co-production with Rockstar Games, has transitioned from the production readiness phase to full production. The team is working on a complete playable version, emphasizing unique gameplay features to differentiate the remake.

Future Focus on Control and Alan Wake Franchises
