Remedy has revealed that Control 2 has entered full production. They also announced that the Max Payne 1&2 Remake is making “steady progress.” According to a press release, “the development progress is heading towards key development objectives together with the game’s publisher Rockstar Games.”
Recently, Alan Wake 2 sales passed 2 million. The announcement follows the release of The Lake House DLC in October 2024. The next Remedy game, FBC: Firebreak, will release on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, and PC in 2025. It is a new 3-player co-op multiplayer game that takes place in the world of Control.
In an interview with Xbox Wire, game director Mike Kayatta stated the following: “FBC: Firebreak is not Control DLC and it’s definitely not a Control sequel…We’re actively avoiding coming even close to feeling like either of those things. I guess you could say that it’s a spin-off, but in the most positive sense of the word. It’s not designed to be some kind of lesser, bite-sized Control. FBC: Firebreak is its own, fully formed thing.”
Communications Director Thomas Puha also said the following about the game: “We have always done single player games at Remedy, and rest assured, we have more single player games in development, and they will be awesome, but for a long time we have wanted to make a PvE multiplayer game. There are loads of us here who love multiplayer besides single player. We don’t want to be doing the same types of games all the time; it’s good to take on new challenges.”
Lastly, Control 2 will release at some point in the coming years.
