Remedy has announced it’s co-developing and co-publishing a sequel to Control with 505 Games.
Control 2 (formerly known as Codename Heron) will release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and be built on Remedy’s Northlight engine, the pair announced on Friday.
Remedy will publish the game on the PC platform and 505 Games will publish it on the console platforms. The project is currently in concept stage.
In June 2021, Remedy announced that the company had outlined high-level collaboration terms with 505 Games for a bigger-budget Control game. “I’m now proud to confirm that the bigger-budget Control game, also known as Codename Heron, is Control 2, a full-blown sequel to our award-winning game Control,” said Tero Virtala, CEO of Remedy.
“We are excited to deepen our cooperation with Remedy and continue the success story of Control together. Since its launch in 2019, Control has sold over 3 million copies,” said Rami and Raffi Galante, co-CEOs of Digital Bros Group/505 Games.
“Control is the biggest investment 505 Games has ever made, so it has a special place in our hearts. We are grateful to the whole player community that has made Control such a long-lasting and loved game, and are even more excited to bring out Control 2.
