Remedy Entertainment Has Good News for Control Fans

Key Takeaways

  • Remedy plans a free Control update in early 2025, possibly unlocking previous content, for all fans to enjoy.
  • Control 2 is confirmed as an action RPG, adding a new twist for fans eager for the sequel’s release.
  • Alan Wake 2 reaches 1.8M units sold, aiding Remedy’s financial status post-release.

As a seasoned gamer with years of gaming under my belt, I must say that the recent updates from Remedy Entertainment have left me both excited and puzzled. On one hand, the promise of a free update for Control early next year has me eagerly anticipating what’s to come. The possibility of unlocking previously released content is always a treat, especially when it comes from a developer as reputable as Remedy.

Remedy Entertainment recently shares some exciting news about their games, particularly updates for fans of the game “Control.” There’s also a sneak peek at plans for the sequel. Lately, Remedy seems to be operating at full capacity, not only advancing work on “Alan Wake 2” but also expanding the storyline within the beloved “Control” universe, and taking on new projects as well.

With Remedy steadily merging its game series into a single, interconnected universe, the critically acclaimed title Control has become a blockbuster hit for the Finnish studio. Given this success, the team has been pouring significant effort into broadening the IP through a follow-up sequel, dubbed Control 2, and an entirely new cooperative shooter game titled FBC Firebreak. This spinoff drops players into the role of Federal Bureau of Control agents, tasked with eliminating Hiss-infected adversaries from a first-person perspective.

After their Capital Markets day presentation, Remedy has shared some news with fans about the game Control. In early 2025, they’ll release a free update for the game that will make previously released content accessible to all players. While no further information has been given, fans are excitedly guessing what this might entail, as it could potentially mean that the preorder and Deluxe Edition content will be integrated into the main game for everyone. Additionally, they’ve announced that the Control Ultimate Edition will be available on Mac platforms starting February 12, 2025.

Remedy Gives Small Update on Control 2

For those eagerly anticipating updates on Control 2, Remedy recently offered a tiny tidbit of information. In a tweet, Remedy confirmed that the sequel to Control will adopt an action RPG format, a departure from the original game which was primarily action-oriented and light on RPG elements. Regrettably, Remedy did not provide further details, leaving fans in suspense until they decide to disclose more about Control 2.

In addition, Remedy shared an update on the sales of the game Alan Wake 2. This title has received a lot of positive feedback from both critics and enthusiasts since it was launched last year. However, it’s troubling that it hasn’t managed to turn a profit yet. But with the release of its anniversary update and The Lake House expansion, Alan Wake 2 has now surpassed sales of 1.8 million units, which should enable Remedy to recover their total investment in development and promotion for this game.
