Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that Alan Wake 2 has now sold over 3 million copies worldwide, reaching the milestone during the second quarter of 2024. The investigative horror shooter remains the studio's fastest-selling title despite a slow commercial start and continued Epic Games Store exclusivity on PC. Meanwhile, Remedy's half-year financial report reveals declining revenue and profit as development spending ramps up for Control Resonant, launching 24 September.
GTA 6's shift to November 19 has sparked a chain reaction, with major titles like Marvel's Wolverine, Control Resonant, and Silent Hill: Townfall clustering in September. This crowded market may lead to a commercial bloodbath, as consumers face difficult choices between competing releases. The strategic move to avoid GTA 6's launch window raises questions about the viability of September's packed schedule.
Control 2, the highly anticipated sequel from Remedy Entertainment, is set to launch on September 24, 2026, across PS5, PC, and Xbox, priced at $60. However, the announcement has been met with mixed reactions due to a 48-hour early access period exclusively for PS5 premium buyers. The community expresses enthusiasm for the game but criticizes the platform-exclusive early access.
Discover how Control: Resonant shifts gears to become a full-fledged Action RPG, building upon the original Control's unintended RPG foundations. With features like skill trees and shapeshifting melee, Remedy's vision for an RPG franchise takes a bold leap. Learn how this sequel embodies the "Remedy version of an RPG experience."
Alan Wake 2, a critical success since its release, has yet to become profitable. Remedy's recent financial report reveals details about the game's financial performance.
