The Control universe expands: Remedy announces Project Condor, a multiplayer spin-off, and a new big-budget installment

Remedy gives us surprises that we did not expect. Through a statement on its website, the company has announced an agreement with the publisher 505 Games , by which they will carry out two new projects that will expand the Control universe.

The first of them is of which we have more details and whose conceptual art illustrates the news. Known as Project Condor , it is a multiplayer spin-off for up to four people that will be released for PS5, Xbox Series X / S and PC. You will use Remedy’s proprietary Northlight engine and tools.

Control Director Mikael Kasurinen said “We understand that there will be skepticism about multiplayer. But I think we can create shared experiences without compromising the unique DNA of who we are or the stories we want to tell.”

On the other hand, we have that new installment of Control , of which practically nothing has been detailed, beyond the expansion of the franchise through a new “higher budget” game . Kasurinen has not gotten wet either and we are left with a brief statement of intent as we are “excited” with what is coming for the brand.

From Digital Bros Group, parent company of 505 Games, they have stated that ” Condor has the potential to involve the gaming community in the long term , contributing to the revenue stream for longer than traditional games.”

For its part, the developer also values this agreement positively, as reflected in the words of Tero Virtala, CEO of Remedy itself.

“We are happy to broaden and deepen our partnership. This new agreement supports Remedy’s goals of expanding our games to long-term franchises, creating landmark games, strengthening our commercial capabilities, and collaborating with great partners with whom we can succeed together.”

The future of Remedy Entertainment

The portfolio of projects that the study has underway is expanding. To these two games that we have just seen, we have to add the presence of Vanguard, a work that is conceived as a long-term experience and with unique characteristics of Remedy.

We also have the presence of CrossfireX, the single player campaign of success in Asian territory. It is one of the most played online games in the world and offers shooter and action mechanics. Finally, we have the game that will be set in the same universe as Control and Alan Wake, which we know are connected thanks to the expansions of Jesse’s adventure.
