Remedy Announces Huge Change For Control Sequel As Alan Wake Sells 1.8 Million Units

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Remedy Entertainment has consistently delivered some of the most captivating and immersive gaming experiences I’ve ever encountered. The recent announcement about Control 2 transitioning into an action RPG has left me nothing short of thrilled!


Story Highlights

  • Control, a 2019-released action-adventure received great critical acclaim on launch.
  • The developer of the game, Remedy Entertainment, plans on turning Control 2 into an action RPG.
  • Side by side, it’s been revealed that Alan Wake 2 has rolled over almost 2 million units following its release. 

In simple terms, only a few games can match the experience you’d get from Control, Remedy’s 2019 high-fi sci-fi action-adventure, and it looks like the game is about to take a fresh approach. A financial report, called Capital Markets Day 2024, published by Remedy provides some intriguing insights into their future plans as a Finnish developer.

According to the latest updates from the developers, it’s been officially announced that Control 2 will be a role-playing game with action elements, unlike its predecessor which was an action-adventure single-player title without RPG features. It appears that Remedy is aiming to introduce RPG aspects as they continue to develop the Control franchise.

Enthusiastic acclaim abounds for Remedy Entertainment, as gamers eagerly anticipate their latest releases. It’s evident that this team pours its heart and artistic talent into each project they undertake, making them a worthy recipient of every gaming enthusiast’s savings.

Currently, the sales of Alan Wake 2 have surpassed 1.8 million copies, marking a modest increase compared to the earlier reported number of 1.3 million. This makes it Remedy’s game with the quickest sales pace so far.

An Exciting Announcement For Mac Players As Well

On February 12, 2025, Control Ultimate Edition – an all-inclusive package featuring every expansion pack for the game – is making its way to macOS. Developers have provided additional details via a post on Bluesky about this upcoming release, highlighting that the game will come with various new features upon arrival.

Designed for seamless performance on Apple’s advanced silicon Macs, featuring High Dynamic Range (HDR) compatibility, MetalFX Upscaling, and real-time hardware-accelerated ray tracing on the latest Mac models equipped with M3 series chips.

I personally would prefer if Remedy emphasizes the horror aspect in Alan Wake 2 and also for Control’s sequel, considering their exceptional work on those titles. Their performance on Control was commendable, earning a perfect 5/5 score from GamerXpert in its review of the action-adventure game.
