According to Remedy's annual report, Control 2 has successfully passed the concept validation stage and has moved into full production. This is a significant milestone, confirming that the project is moving forward.

In addition to Control 2, two other projects are in active development: FBC: Firebreak and the remakes of Max Payne 1+2. A year ago, these games were only in the preparation phase for production, but they have now advanced to the next stage. However, the project Kestrel, which was being developed in collaboration with Tencent, has been removed from the studio's plans. It was canceled in May of last year.

All these projects are being developed using the studio's proprietary engine, Northlight, which has already proven its effectiveness in games like Alan Wake 2 and other Remedy projects.

As for the budget, Control 2 is estimated at 50 million euros. The game will be self-published by the studio and will be released on Xbox Series, PS5, and PC. The budget for FBC: Firebreak is slightly more modest at 30 million euros. This project will be available on PlayStation and Xbox subscription services upon release, as well as on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The remakes of Max Payne 1+2 remain a mystery in terms of budget, but it is known that they will be AAA-level games. Development and marketing are fully funded by Rockstar Games.
