Remedy has announced that, in collaboration with Annapurna, they will be developing TV show and movie adaptations of both Control and Alan Wake. Additionally, they will also help “finance 50% of the development budget for the upcoming Control 2 video game.” At the time of writing, the release date for Control 2 and the upcoming adaptations of both Alan Wake and Control are currently unknown.
Tero Virtala, CEO of Remedy Entertainment, said the following about the news: “This strategic partnership between Annapurna and Remedy is an important milestone and an exciting opportunity for us. We know Annapurna shares our passion for our IPs and the universes we have created.
With award-winning movies such as Zero Dark Thirty and games like Stray, Annapurna’s expertise across film, TV, and video games makes them an ideal partner for us. This agreement will ensure we can develop Control 2 into the best game possible, allow us to move into self-publishing for selected titles and expand our franchises to other mediums.”
