This Ol’ House was home and comfort
Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment has postedits financial resultsfor the most recent quarter, revealing that — among other releases — its reality-bending 2019 adventureControlcontinues to pull in new sales and players two years after its original release, essentially becoming the strongest and most enduring release in Remedy’s storied oeuvre.
Despite not releasing any new titles, 2020 proved to be a record year for Remedy. The studio is now confident that its steady growth sinceControl‘s launch puts the team in a more comfortable and secure position to start working with other developers and publishers on new projects. Remedy is already in cahoots with Epic Games on two separate titles, one of which is expected to be the studio’s next big-budget, AAA release — with the rumor mill whisperingAlan Wake 2.
As forControl, Remedy has unsurprisingly already laid out its plans for a sequel, though it might be some years before we hear more from this. The current-generation consoles are renown for their high-speed load times and ability to shift numerous game planes in the blink of an eye, which sounds absolutely perfect forControl‘s dimension-hopping ways.
