Some good news for a change, Remedy has acquired the rights to the Control IP: https://investors.remedygames.com/announcements/remedy-entertainment-plc-inside-information-remedy-acquires-full-rights-to-the-control-franchise-from-505-games/

 

In a vacuum this is already a good thing, but considering they're building their own shared universe now this probably also removes some possible license headaches/roadblocks going forward.

More good news: Remedy is working together with Annapurna for both Control 2 financing and potential TV/movie adaptations of Control and Alan Wake: https://www.remedygames.com/article/remedy-and-annapurna-announce-a-strategic-cooperation-agreement

 

They do point out that Control remains their IP and that they're also the publisher of Control 2, so Annapurna really just seems to be there to drop some money in the bucket (and help with the movie thing). I think this might finally be a good pairing, after some of their less-than-optimal experiences with Microsoft, 505 and Epic.

Really excited about Control 2. It’s one of the few games I’ve played which is truly elevated by M&KB and after playing it on PC like that my estimation has gone way up. + Alan Wake 2 is not a great playing game, but they have so many cool ideas with story, genre and wild, twisting fun-horror if they can bring some of that to a game that plays like Control? Boom

 

Hopefully the TV deal doesn’t mean it has to be part of the game like Quantum Break, though 😓

Apparently this is an action RPG. That's an interesting designation. I guess the original was sort of an action RPG but I wouldn't have described it like that necessarily.

One thing I really love in both Control and Alan Wake 2 is the exploring. Their worlds are so detailed and a really well considered art direction, I'm really looking forward to seeing what this looks like. Just hope that action RPG is describing that we will have to put a lot of thought into character builds and interactions with the world and NPCs, and not that we'll be getting purple loot. Remedy have more sense than that hopefully
