March 2023 Remedy Entertainment entered into a partnership agreement with Epic Games by the publisher of two games that take place in the same universe as Control. For the studio, this deal has become very profitable. Epic Games will fully fund development projects, and all proceeds will be split 50/50. In addition, Remedy will retain full creative control and ownership of the IP.
As part of the report for the first quarter of this year, the CEO of Remedy Thero Virtala clarified the status of these games. The first project, which is AAA-scale, will soon enter the full-fledged production phase, and the second, smaller title, is already under active development.… Formerly a GamesBeat editor Jeff Grubb announced that one of the projects, made with money from Epic, will be a sequel Alan wake…
