The sequel we all knew was coming has been confirmed.
Control 2 was today announced by Remedy and 505 Games.
Formerly codenamed Heron, a release date for the sequel was not named.
“I’m now proud to confirm that the bigger-budget Control game, also known as Codename Heron, is Control 2, a full-blown sequel to our award-winning game Control,” CEO of Remedy, Tero Virtala, said in a press release.
Remedy furthered that Control 2‘s “initial development budget amounts to EUR 50 million”, and that the developer will retail ownership of the Control IP. It and 505 Games will split development, marketing, and post-launch investments, equally splittling any “future net revenues”.
“We are excited to deepen our cooperation with Remedy and continue the success story of Control together. Since its launch in 2019, Control has sold over 3 million copies,” said Rami and Raffi Galante, co-CEOs of 505 Games.
“Control is the biggest investment 505 Games has ever made, so it has a special place in our hearts,” they continued. “We are grateful to the whole player community that has made Control such a long-lasting and loved game, and are even more excited to bring out Control 2.”
