Remedy Entertainment's annual report reveals significant progress across its development pipeline. Control 2 has cleared the crucial concept validation phase and entered full production, signaling a major step forward for the project.
Alongside Control 2, two other titles are actively under development: FBC: Firebreak and the remakes of Max Payne 1+2. These projects, previously in pre-production a year ago, have advanced to the next stage of development. However, the Kestrel project, a collaboration with Tencent, has been cancelled, a decision made in May of last year.
All current projects leverage Remedy's proprietary Northlight engine, a technology proven successful in titles like Alan Wake 2 and other studio releases.
Financially, Control 2 boasts a projected budget of €50 million. Self-published by Remedy, it's slated for release on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. FBC: Firebreak, with a more modest €30 million budget, will launch on PlayStation and Xbox subscription services, alongside Steam and the Epic Games Store.
While the budget for the Max Payne 1+2 remakes remains undisclosed, Rockstar Games is fully funding their development and marketing, confirming their AAA status.
