As part of developer Remedy's latest earnings briefing, the Finnish game studio confirmed that one of its most highly anticipated upcoming games, Alan Wake 2, remains on track for release in 2023. The developer also provided development updates on its four other games in development, including its Control sequels.

Remedy also stated that Alan Wake 2 is now in the "full production stage."

The Control spinoff, Codename Condor, remains in the "proof-of-concept" stage, meanwhile. "We are giving the team time to work on a multitude of important game design elements and finalize the key pillars before moving the project to the next development phase," Remedy said

Another new Control game, Codename Heron, is in the concept stage, Remedy said. "Based on the well-progressing early development, the team size has been gradually increased," Remedy said, adding that this is a "bigger-budget" Control game.

Nice.

Probably my next most anticipated game after Re4 Remake for 2023 right now.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Control was one hell of a game. Just wanted to say that.

It's in my top 5 of the PS4/XBO gen of games for sure.

 

[Mr Hyde]

It's in my top 5 of the PS4/XBO gen of games for sure.

It's definitely up there for sure. It's the first game from Remedy that I was truly impressed by. Never really felt their previous work but they knocked it out of the park with Control. A sequel on current gen will definitely blow some minds.

 

[Big Baller]

Well damn.

 

[mdkirby]

Damn, sounds like the next control is yeaaaars away
Looking forward to Alan wake 2 tho, and I guess now its officially the same universe we may get to explore more of control's lore through Alan wake.

 

[TastyPastry]

so will the control sequel(s) come before the max payne remake?

 

[ParaSeoul]

Remedy please make something actually good instead of mostly mid games,Max Payne 1 is still their best game.

 

[Fbh]

Cool, maybe they'll show up at The game Awards with a new trailer.

Control was meh but the concept itself could definitely be used for an awesome sequel. Just increase enemy variety, have more cool sequences like the labyrinth and learn to write a videogame story that doesn't requiere the player to read through novel worth of in game documents.

 

[Flabagast]

Control was very pedestrian despite good initial ideas. Pretty cautious about what comes from them.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I play the hell outta of Control. It's great all around.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Awesome. I’ll play both.

 

[rofif]

Nah.
And I am kinda loosing hope in remedy
Quantum Break was terrible with stupid actor faces too.
And Control was sponge shooter with terrible story and terrible face too.

 

[H4ze]

You guys can't even imagine how much I want Alan Wake 2, the first part is one of my most beloved games ever. Pure hype

Mine too. Love that game

 

[amigastar]

Mine too. Love that game

IMO it will be different to the first Alan Wake, they want to make a Survival Horror Game and honestly i'm curious about that.

Samed here, one of the best games of all time in my opinion. This will be a day0 purchase.

 

[KyoZz]

Alan Wake is still one of my favorite game and the OST was awesome, perfectly capturing the vibe of this thriller




Too bad this will be an Epic exclusive. I'll wait till it release elsewhere to buy it.

[EverydayBeast]

Nobody thought Alan wake would be on PlayStation, now we’re counting down towards it’s sequel on every platform

 

[Dr.Morris79]

It's definitely up there for sure. It's the first game from Remedy that I was truly impressed by.

But... Max Payne 1

How anyone couldnt love that gritty story mixed with some tongue in cheek humour, noir setting and gunplay is.. it's madness I say, madness.

 

[Mr Hyde]

But... Max Payne 1

Maybe when the remake comes out

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Maybe when the remake comes out

Totally forgot about that! Heres hoping it's on par

Just a 1-1 remake would be perfect.

 

[Mexen]

Control has good gameplay that I enjoyed for most of the game. But it could use a better story.
Control 2 just needs to nail story and refine the mechanics a bit and I see it being a contender for GOTY 2023, unless Elden Ring 2 comes out or something (that’s a joke).

 

[Jet Set Willy]

I didn't realise AW2 is coming so soon, as if 2023 wasn't already looking stacked with awesomeness as it is. Great news.
