Ex-CEO of Remedy, Matias Myllyrinne has told GamesIndustry.biz why he’s moved to Wargaming and World of Tanks.
“If we did a very good AAA console game we can leave an imprint on somebody that they’ll carry with them,” Myllyrinne said. “Maybe it’s a moving story, or an action sequence, or a set-piece. With free-to-play you can engage with people for years. This is what they do. Some people play chess, some people play poker, some people play World of Tanks.
“It’s hard to see that in AAA. It just is, and especially in single-player.”
While Remedy isn’t moving from single-player titles into the free-to-play market, it certainly is expanding its scope, working on a story mode for the multiplayer-focused Crossfire 2 in addition to two new, unannounced titles. Of the two new titles we know that neither is Alan Wake 2.
World of Tanks is available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
