Remedy has officially gained complete ownership of the Control IP, signaling a new chapter for the franchise. After working with publisher 505 Games on Control, Remedy recently reached a deal with the publisher to hold full ownership of Control and its future sequels and spin-offs.
Released back in 2019, Control quickly garnered praise from both fans and critics for its story and unique mechanics. As a compelling tie-in to Remedy's popular Alan Wake universe, Control features protagonist Jesse Faden as she infiltrates the mysterious Federal Bureau of Control. Once confirmation of a sequel to Control and a multiplayer spin-off known as Project Condor hit the internet, many fans have been waiting for more news on the future of the series. A recent deal between Remedy and publisher 505 Games has now put the entire Control IP in the hands of its developer, and the deal gives a little insight into Project Condor and Control 2's development.
Starting today, all distribution, publishing, marketing, and any other rights to Control and its related spin-offs and sequels will be fully owned by its developer, Remedy. This deal leaves Remedy completely in charge of how future installments in the Control series are marketed and published, which is a major milestone for the developer.
The rights to Control 2 and Project Condor will go to Remedy effective immediately. However, a transition period will see the rights to Control revert to Remedy, ending on December 31, 2024. Remedy has an impressive roster of games under its belt, and the developer gaining full ownership of one of its most popular IPs is huge. Another exciting facet of this deal is that it gives fans a small update on how Control 2 and Project Condor's development is going, thanks to a statement from Remedy's CEO, Tero Virtala.
Condor and Control 2 have both progressed well in recent months, and we expect these projects to reach their next development stages during the first half of 2024.
Remedy has proven itself to be an incredibly unique developer that has a talent for crafting fascinating stories, and it will be interesting to see how the developer chooses to market this property. While many fans have high hopes for Control 2, Remedy now having full reign of the franchise is an exciting step forward for the developer.
