Max Payne remake and Project Condor have entered full production, while Control 2 is now in the "production readiness" phase of development.
The head of the studio behind Alan Wake and Control talks to Game File about Remedy's survival, a key cancellation, and getting game devs to think more about game business (but not too much!)
Alan Wake 2 was one of my favourite games of all time. I absolutely sank into the story and couldn't get enough of it.
It might not be for everyone, but it was highly celebrated by critics and fans alike. The level of storytelling is unparalleled, and the worldbuilding and interconnectivity with other Remedy games is something that has never been done before in the medium. I think that makes it 'great'.
I would hope after the learnings in Control 1 and refinement in AW2 for current-gen optimization, that they could reduce cost on the tech side for their next project.
Control 1 was also budget constrained and was great so I'm not worried. Remedys design and writing go further than a budget.
Remedy Entertainment has revealed that Max Payne 1 & 2 remake has achieved critical development goals, while Control 2 is in full production.
I have seriously HIGH hopes for these remakes, hope they can live up to my own hype 🦖.
Remedy Entertainment is targeting a 2027 release window for Control 2, followed by Alan Wake 3 and Control 3 in 2029 and 2030, respectively.
Great news, and impressive if they can stick to those dates. I wonder whether we'll see far more crossovers between the two franchise's as a result.
I suspect the FBC will be put in a position in Control 2 where they have to start actively trying to get Alan Wake to help them.
Hot take : I'd prefer if WB approached Remedy about a collab for a Remedy's version of a Batgame, whilst Suicide Squad was in development. Trust me, it'd have been damn cool. I know WB higher ups are stubborn as hell.
RIP James McCaffrey.
they are yet to be profitable with AW2 but have 2 games under development? Remedy must thank that Fortnite money that they are still allowed to make games haha
My most anticipated Remake
Is max Payne a remake for just 1 or both 1 and 2?
