Today, on February 28, nearly five years after Control’s initial launch, Remedy Entertainment, the team behind the Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control series, released an announcement regarding a deal between them and 505 Games, detailing a full transition to Remedy acquiring full rights to the franchise. While Remedy Entertainment previously developed the game with 505 Games having publishing, distribution, and marketing rights over Control, this latest transaction converts this authority to Remedy, giving them full rights over Control, Control 2, and their upcoming multiplayer game currently under the code Condor.

Well this is concerning. If they're not getting any more funding from 505 to make Control 2 and Condor then, uh, who's funding Control 2 and Condor?

The banks

Remedy is publicly traded on NASDAQ Nordic, they can issues shares or debt for the money. But they're probably going to buddy buddy with Epic Games again

Well then, if that asshole Sweeney is involved, I won't be playing this game for a decade until it gets a sensible release. Which is a shame, because the first one is such a gem.

How did you play the first game? It's not 10 years old yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I think the implication is that they would not buy it if released only on Epic. Neither would I if it came out as an Epic exclusive.

Control was such a nice surprise. I hadn't heard anything about it and just grabbed it on a whim in some sale and I loved the game from start to end.

That clock bug. Sigh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Good. Now get rid of Epic Fail Games.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Oh nice. I loved Control, so this is comforting to see!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Hope this means more releases on gog.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Well this means they'll almost certainly make it EGS only

Fuck yeah. Remedy has just been killing it and having Control fully under their umbrella is great news.
