Remedy confirms 'Control 2' is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC

<p>Remedy has yet to show its co-op Control spinoff (https://www.engadget.com/control-spin-off-multiplayer-co-op-remedy-505-191228046.html), but that isn't stopping the developer from unveiling a true follow-up. The company and its publisher 505 Games have announced (https://investors.remedygames.com/announcements/remedy-entertainment-signs-a-co-development-and-co-publishing-agreement-with-505-games-for-control-2/) joint development of Control 2 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. This isn't exactly a shock when the two teased a "bigger-budget" title (now known to be the sequel) last year, but it's good news for anyone who misses exploring the Oldest House.</p><p>The creators haven't shared any details of the plot, game mechanics or release date. Even the teaser (https://www.remedygames.com/remedy-entertainment-505-games-control-2/) image shares little besides what's likely a Control Point. Control 2 will still use Remedy's Northlight engine, however, and that budget is a sizeable $51.5 million. Work is still in the "concept stage," Remedy says.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The commitment to a sequel makes sense given the performance of the original, and despite the lack of news about the spinoff. Control has sold 3 million copies since its 2019 debut, and 1 million of those reached gamers' hands since June of last year. The third-person action game has also received critical praise (https://www.engadget.com/2019-11-19-game-awards-nominees-death-stranding-control-untitled-goose-game.html) that includes 20 "game of the year" awards. Simply speaking, the franchise already has enduring success — Remedy and 505 are just capitalizing on that sizeable fan base.</p>
