These updates, revealed in the company's latest financial report, offer valuable insights into each project's development stage and Remedy's overall strategic direction.

Control 2 Nears Completion

The highly anticipated Control 2 has reached a crucial milestone: production readiness. This signifies a fully playable version of the game, allowing the team to focus on large-scale production, rigorous testing, and performance optimization to ensure it meets the highest 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 Active Development

Codename Condor, the Control universe's multiplayer spin-off, is in full production. The development team is actively creating multiple maps and diverse mission types, undergoing both internal and limited external playtesting to refine gameplay and gather valuable feedback. This marks Remedy's first foray into live-service gaming, and it will be released with a unique "service-based fixed price" model.

Alan Wake 2 and Max Payne Remake Updates

Alan Wake 2's Night Springs expansion has received positive critical acclaim and enthusiastic player response. The game has already recouped a significant portion of its development and marketing costs, demonstrating strong market performance. A physical Deluxe Edition will launch on October 22nd, followed by a Collector's Edition in December. Pre-orders are available 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 currently refining a complete playable version, emphasizing unique gameplay features to distinguish it from previous iterations.

Future Focus on Control and Alan Wake Franchises

Remedy has secured full ownership of the Control franchise, granting them complete control over its future. The company is strategically evaluating self-publishing and other business models for both Control and Alan Wake, with further details expected by year's end. They are exploring self-publishing options and potential partnerships to optimize long-term growth.

Remedy emphasizes the importance of its Control and Alan Wake franchises, interconnected within the Remedy Connected Universe. Expanding these franchises will be a core element of their future strategy, alongside their continued collaboration on the Max Payne franchise. Further announcements regarding these franchises and upcoming games are anticipated in the coming months.
