Remedy also gives an update on the Control spin-off title, Codename Condor.
Control 2 reaches production readiness stage
1Control 2 has reached a very significant milestone: a playable build available, thus entering the production readiness stage. This step is important in the calendar because not only does it bring the message that the game is playable but it also includes a lot of the features essential for the sequel. Remedy Entertainment underlines that this development will help with current business negotiations.
Max Payne 1 and 2 Remakes in Full Production
Alongside Control 2, Remedy has confirmed that remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2 are now in full production. First announced in 2022, these remakes will bundle Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne into a single package for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Remedy is developing the games in collaboration with Rockstar Games and using the Northlight game engine – the same one used to develop Control.
Update on Control Multiplayer Spin-Off and Other Projects
The multiplayer spin-off of Control, codenamed Codename Condor, is ongoing in terms of external playtesting with respect to feature validation and feedback. Based on the testing, there seem to be several maps and various missions involved, so presumably, this phase is quite well advanced.
Another multiplayer title in development at Remedy, codenamed Kestrel, was axed earlier this year. Future projects still remain under wraps, but Remedy’s half-year financial report speaks to a future full of action and promise.
