Remedy Entertainment's Control was met with overwhelmingly positive grades when it was released back in 2019. Since then, the studio has confirmed that a sequel is coming, and a multiplayer focused spin-off as well.
Thanks to the half-year financial report from Digital Bros. (owner of the publisher 505 Games), we now have more information on how Control has performed and a clear sign that the sequel will be spectacular. It turns out the original game has now sold over three million copies since launch, bringing in €92 million in revenue, and this has given Remedy and 505 Games confidence in the franchise.
Control 2 has a confirmed budget of €50 million (roughly £44) million, which is considerably more than the original's €30 million. The multiplayer spin-off we mentioned above, working title Project Condor, is also a project they seemingly really believe in, and has a confirmed budget of €25 million. Both games will be developed using Remedy's proprietary Northlight Engine.
Did you play Control yourself and what do you think about it?
Thanks, Exputer.
