Remedy Entertainment has shared updates on a number of projects including a potential Alan Wake 3 and the planned Max Payne remakes. Speaking alongside the release of Remedy’s 2023-2024 financial results, CEO Tero Virtala said “2023 was a challenging yet remarkable year for Remedy,” with the studio finally releasing a sequel to 2010’s Alan Wake and gaining full ownership of the Control franchise. However, the company did report operating losses of £24.4million (via VGC). Virtala added that the studio was “thrilled” with…

505 Games Remedy Entertainment, the developer behind 2019’s Control and critically acclaimed games like Alan Wake 2, now fully owns the rights to the Control franchise. That means the Finnish studio now has full, for the lack of a better word, control over the future of this series, including its sequel and multiplayer spin-off. Previously, the rights to the franchise were owned by 505 Games, a publisher you may know for its hand in publishing Ghostrunner 2 and Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising. According to a message for…

The studio has acquired full rights from publisher 505 Games, for roughly €17M. While Remedy Entertainment previously developed the game with 505 Games having publishing, distribution, and marketing rights over Control, this latest transaction converts this authority to Remedy, giving them full rights over Control, as well as the upcoming Control 2 and the multiplayer game currently under the…

Last year’s Alan Wake 2 was a triumph, not only in the survival horror genre but in AAA gaming in general. Given the high praise, it’s no wonder we declared it one of our favorite games of 2023. And for good reason, too. As well as great reviews all around, the Alan Wake follow-up has also been selling well. According to developer Remedy Entertainment, the long-awaited sequel has sold 1.3 million units, as of February 2024. A post on the developer’s website says it’s the fastest-selling game the company has ever released…

Alan Wake 2 was named NME’s Game Of 2023 and picked up two awards at The Game Awards including Best Narrative. Now Remedy has confirmed the game is the studio’s fastest selling title, with over 1.3million units sold . “We are happy with the start of the sales,” explained Remedy’s CEO Tero…

Though there are countless directions life flows in, we’re constantly fed narratives on what choices lead you down the supposed good path. It’s wise to take advice, especially from the experienced, but what happens when our internal desires clash with the stories society outlined for us? In Alan Wake 2, Saga finds herself confronting this many-faced problem. However, in typical Remedy fashion, things are presented through metanarratives that defy convention. Through Saga, we discover the power these tales have in our…

My review of Alan Wake 2 makes it obvious I’m a huge fan, not just of the game but Remedy’s work overall. With that said, I’m not blind to some of the flaws of the company, including the often missing features at launch such as chapter selection. It’s not compulsory by any means, but when you consider the lack of photo mode as well, you begin to wish things were a little more filled out. Slowly but surely, the Finnish developer has been working on the game, even after the dramatic Final Draft which gave many the…

As reported by RespawnFirst, Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has filed a trademark dispute against Remedy Entertainment over the latter’s new logo. The application was made in April 2023, shortly after Remedy revealed their new logo, and appears to still be ongoing as of writing. It currently looks like Take-Two has not followed through with a lawsuit, and it’s unclear if they have any intention of doing so. It seems more like Take-Two is trying to pre-emptively protect their claim to, uh… the capital R.…
