Remedy confirms Control 2 is in development for PS5, XSX and PC
Remedy has announced it’s co-developing and co-publishing a sequel to Control with 505 Games.
Control 2 (formerly known as Codename Heron) will release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and be built on Remedy’s Northlight engine, the pair announced on Friday.
Remedy will publish the game on the PC platform and 505 Games will publish it on the console platforms. The project is currently in the concept stage.
Remedy first announced plans for a “bigger-budget Control game” in June 2021. “I’m now proud to confirm that the bigger-budget Control game, also known as Codename Heron, is Control 2, a full-blown sequel to our award-winning game Control,” said CEO Tero Virtala in a statement on Friday.
Mikael Kasurinen, game director of the Control franchise, said in a statement: “With Control, we leaped into the unknown. We wanted to create something new. Something different and unexpected. A world like no other. Thank you, the audience, for making Control such a success for us.
“With Control 2, we’ll take another leap into the unknown. It’ll be an unexpected journey. It’ll take a while, but to put it mildly, this is the most exciting project I’ve ever worked on. It’s still early days, but it will be worth the wait.”
Rami and Raffi Galante, co-CEOs of Digital Bros Group/505 Games, added: “We are excited to deepen our cooperation with Remedy and continue the success story of Control together. Since its launch in 2019, Control has sold over 3 million copies.
“Control is the biggest investment 505 Games has ever made, so it has a special place in our hearts. We are grateful to the whole player community that has made Control such a long-lasting and loved game, and are even more excited to bring out Control 2.”
