In its half-year financial report for 2024, Remedy announced that Control 2 is now in a playable state, a crucial step forward in its development. This milestone not only indicates that the game is progressing well but also showcases some of the sequel’s key features. According to Remedy, this development will aid in “ongoing business negotiations” as the game moves closer to full-scale production.

The decision to remake these classic titles has generated significant excitement, as fans look forward to experiencing the iconic noir action with modern enhancements.
Codename Condor and Other Projects
In addition to these major titles, Remedy is working on a multiplayer spin-off of Control known as Codename Condor.
