According to Remedy's annual report, Control 2 has triumphantly passed the concept validation stage and is now in full production. This significant milestone marks a clear path forward for the project, exciting fans and stakeholders alike.
In addition to Control 2, two other exciting projects are making substantial progress: FBC: Firebreak and the remakes of Max Payne 1+2. A year ago, these titles were merely in the preparation phase, but they've now advanced to the next stage of development. However, the project Kestrel, which was being developed in collaboration with Tencent, has been removed from Remedy's plans. It was canceled in May of last year.
All these ambitious projects are being crafted using Remedy's proprietary engine, Northlight, which has already demonstrated its prowess in titles like Alan Wake 2 and other Remedy creations.
Regarding the budget, Control 2 is slated to cost 50 million euros. The game will be self-published by Remedy and is set to launch on Xbox Series, PS5, and PC. Meanwhile, FBC: Firebreak has a more modest budget of 30 million euros. This project will be accessible on PlayStation and Xbox subscription services upon release, as well as on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The remakes of Max Payne 1+2 remain shrouded in mystery concerning their budget, but they are confirmed to be AAA-level games. Both development and marketing costs are fully covered by Rockstar Games, ensuring a robust backing for these iconic titles.
