As for the sequel, there isn’t much specific information being unveiled, but the developer has revealed that Control 2 would be a role-playing and action game with a spin on the franchise. This is unlike the first game that bore RPG like elements but was not fully considered as an RPG-action game.
Control made way for new characters and a remarkable and mysterious world to playable characters offering some RPG elements which included weapon and powers enhancement. Control 2 will all include these mechanics and build on them with many role-play system aspects to make the gameplay more engaging. Such combinations of genres has an active discussion of the potential growth of characters and their sinister evolution.
Another big point is the component of creative freedom in Remedy as the studio now owns the entire classical intellectual property rights for Control.

The announcement also means that Remedy has a vision of expanding the Control franchise into something more. Audiences waited for the extended and the better designed ‘Control 2.’ Incorporating extra resources, the sequel may contain new play mechanics, an enhanced and more complicated story and more interesting setting.
Apart from the updates about Control 2, Remedy shared several other interesting projects which are in development, which once again showed the company’s further desire in the gaming sector. Over the course of two games, fans wondered how Remedy will reinvent the series although preserving the key points which contributed to the success of the first entry.
Remedy Announces Free Control Update and Future Plans for Alan Wake and Control Franchises

Besides the Control update, Remedy also revealed some fantastic results related to Alan Wake 2 during the presentation – it is currently the game with the highest sales record in the company’s history. Exploding past1.8 million copies sold since its release, the action game underlines Remedy’s increasing dominance in the gaming market. That is why the success of Alan Wake 2 was based on the love of fans for the game and the characteristics of the studio to produce interesting and good games.
As for the future, Remedy has a number of unfulfilled and very high goals for both Alan Wake and Control, decided to turn these games into “world-class franchises” by the beginning of the 2030s. Although the studio hasn’t shared many details about how it will achieve this, the aim is clear: to transform these games from simply popular entertainment markets into cultural icons. Audiences should therefore expect bigger commitments to the future of both franchises.
These plans suggest a whole new era in the way Remedy is to handle its IPs. The studio also wants to bring both Control and Alan Wake and make them something beyond video games. In the process of extending them to the territories of other media and culture, Remedy wants to leave behind the staples that gamers will appreciate in the future.
Remedy’s dedication to fostering these franchises exemplifies that possibly, throughout the gaming business, these well-performing games are given more dimensions. Now with the future of Alan Wake 2 and the rocky but promising future of Control 2, the studio appears headed towards making large strides in accomplishing the studio’s plans for 2030.
