With Control having passed 10 million players, Remedy Entertainment has entered full production on its upcoming game project with Epic Games.
This was revealed in a new investor letter released today, alongside the news that Control's revenues were slightly higher in Q2 2021 than in Q2 2020. Remedy cites the studio's commitment to actively marketing Control, Control Ultimate Edition's launch on Google Stadia, and Control's inclusion in the Epic Game Store Mega Sale 2021 as reasons for the game's continued success.
"Overall, new platforms, services, and special offerings give us valuable lessons for the future, bring additional revenue, help us to reach new audiences, and increase Control brand awareness," the letter reads. "Control has already reached a formidable audience, having been played by over 10 million players. The growing audience and brand awareness are valuable as we continue to support Control."
The letter also reveals that its big-budget game project being developed in partnership with Epic Games has moved into full-production, and that the studio's four-player cooperative PvE game set in the world of Control known as Condor has been solidified thanks to a new co-publishing and development agreement with 505 Games. In case that's not enough, Remedy mentioned in the letter that it has also agreed on "collaboration terms for a future, bigger-budget Control game" with 505 Games as well.
Elsewhere, Remedy is continuing to develop the story mode for Crossfire HD and Crossfire X, too, while also continuing its full production focus on a "second, smaller-scale game" with Epic Games. Don't forget about Vanguard, either, which is the studio's free-to-play co-op game project. Remedy says it's "progressing at a good pace, with selected internal and external closed gameplay tests."
Just last month, we learned that Remedy was working on a yet another game, bringing the total to six.
The letter says to meet the production of these six games, the studio's headcount has grown to 293 employees.
"I am happy with the progress we have made so far in 2021," the letter reads. "Our financial position is stronger than before. Control continues to reach new players, expands into new games, and is a strong proof of our ability to create category defining games and brands. Our multi-project model is continuously developing and we are approaching a phase where we can launch new games more often and more regularly."
While waiting to see what these six titles turn out to be, check out our thoughts on Remedy's latest game in IGN's Control review, and then read about why IGN named it Game of the Year in 2019.
