FBC: Firebreak is Remedy Entertainment’s first foray into co-op shooters, but for all intents and purposes, the studio remains focused on single-player titles. To that end, its two biggest upcoming titles – Control 2 and Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake – continue development, as revealed in the latest half-year financial report.
The former is currently “on track towards meeting its next milestones” with Remedy focusing on “gameplay, environments, and missions.” Officially announced in 2022 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, the sequel will be an action RPG with a lower budget (€50 million) than Alan Wake 2. Its predecessor recently crossed five million units sold.
Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake, also announced in 2022, is still in full production with the development team building “on steady momentum” during the second quarter of 2025. “Collaboration with Rockstar Games remains close and productive, ensuring alignment as the project advances toward its next major phase.”
When it will reach that phase and eventually launch remains to be seen. Again, there’s very little information on the project, but creative director Sam Lake said he wants to bring the classics “up to modern standards” and combine them into a singular experience, which is a “significant undertaking.” Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.
