Entering the production stage for Control 2 means that Remedy has completed stages of pre-productions, like the proof-of-concept stage.
Set after the events of Control, the co-op first-person shooter will launch later this year for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
The action RPG is ready to scale up for full production following the establishment of production pipelines per Remedy Entertainment.
I feel we are just getting started, so I feel it's too early to start talking about an endgame," says writer and creative director Sam Lake.
Remedy Entertainment is expecting 3-4 million units sold for Control 2 to be the mark where it doubles its investment, and 3 million for FBC: Firebreak.
The highly anticipated sequel to Control is in development for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It will enter full production in 2025.
The sequel to Remedy Entertainment's acclaimed shooter is continuing to make good progress behind the scenes, as per the developer.
Remedy Entertainment has seemingly snuck the first glimpses of Control 2 into the recently-released second DLC for Alan Wake 2.
Remedy's Thomas Puha clarifies the developer's agreement with the company following the resignation of Annapurna Interactive's staff.
"We now also have an incredible partner to extend our IPs to other mediums," says the studio behind the two franchises.
"We feel Annapurna is the perfect partner to work with as the game development is moving forward towards production," say Remedy's Mikael Kasurinen and Juha Vainio.
Control 2's development team has "reached an important milestone in delivering a build of the game showcasing several important features in playable form", Remedy Entertainment says.
As much as we've love to see them, these announcements have a slim chance of happening in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Control 2 is in the final leg of the proof-of-concept stage, while Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake is also gearing up to enter full production.
The studio wants to grow both franchises to have "an ability to generate revenues and profits at a high level."
The Finnish game developer will handle publishing, marketing, distribution and other rights for Condor and Control 2 going forward.
The three projects will have an "increased development pace" thanks to personnel freed up from the launch of Alan Wake 2.
