Remedy gives update on Control 2 and Max Payne remakes

Remedy Entertainment has given an update on its many projects. As expected, the launch of FBC: Firebreak did not succeed commercially, however, other games like Control have reached new milestones. On top of that, we have news on Control 2 and the Max Payne remakes. 

As part of its most recent investors update,  Remedy confirmed that the recent launch of FBC: Firebreak, the studio's very first multiplayer game, did not succeed commercially. The game's growth was primarily driven by Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, leaving Remedy unsatisfied with the consumer sales figures. The writing was already on the wall for this one, as Remedy had already acknowledged the game's bad first impression.

While FBC: Firebreak has been a low point, Remedy's 2019 action hit, Control, has now surpassed 5 million copies sold. Development on Control 2 also remains on track, with the developers now focused on meeting milestones for gameplay, environments and missions. Essentially, the game is deep into the production cycle, but there is still no release date yet.

Max Payne 1 & 2 remake also “remains in full production” and Remedy says its ongoing collaboration with Rockstar for this project “remains close and productive”. Outside of that though, there is not much more to say.

Despite FBC: Firebreak struggling commercially and other projects remaining in deep development, Remedy still expects to see an operating profit increase in 2025.

KitGuru Says: I've been replaying Control recently.  It is still one of my favourite games. If you've never played it, be sure to pick it up on a sale at some point.
