Tero Virtala, the CEO of Remedy Entertainment, has made it clear that upcoming Alan Wake sequels will be coming out more steadily. The original game was released in 2010, but Alan Wake 2 didn’t hit the market until October 2023.
“With Alan Wake and Control, we now have two established franchises, and our ambition is to grow them into franchises that have high brand recognition, steadily growing user base, more regular cadence of sequels and an ability to generate revenues and profits at a high level,” the CEO said.
Alan Wake 2 is currently Remedy’s fastest-selling game, selling over 1.3 million copies by February 2024. The survival horror game won multiple awards, including the Critics Choice Award at the Golden Joystick Awards and Best Narrative at The Game Awards 2023.
Virtala also voiced his desire to develop more games in theControl series going forward, assuring fans that Control 2 is in the world-building stage. A co-op multiplayer game in the Control universe is also in development.
Currently, Remedy is also hard at work on the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake. The original games were released in 2001 and 2003, respectively.
“Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake also continued in the production readiness stage. The team made considerable progress throughout the year. Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake is going to be a major new game with great potential, enabled by a similar development budget as Alan Wake 2,” Virtala said. He confirmed that the game will reach the next stage of development during the first half of 2024.
In 2023, Remedy saw a 22.2% decline in revenue despite Alan Wake 2 being a critical and commercial success.

There’s nothing quite like a good ol’ horror game to get the blood pumping. While the majority of games out there pivot around the idea of empowering the player with a growing assortment of weapons and abilities with which to overcome enemies and obstacles, a good horror game is all about tipping the scales of any scenario to put you at a disadvantage against the many terrors that go bump in the night.
Overwatch 2 finally got some of its long-awaited PvE content last August, but it doesn’t look like more is on the way, according to some new reports.
Remedy has good news for fans of Alan Wake and Control, hinting that the time between games won't be as long as the wait between Alan Wake 2 and its predecessor. As the Remedy universe continues to grow, the studio behind Alan Wake and Control has ambitious goals for both series.
Alan Wake and Control developer Remedy Entertainment has seen its revenue drop by 22.2 percent for the year.
Control and Alan Wake have both brought Remedy Entertainment plenty of success in recent years, with Control having sold 4 million units, and Alan Wake 2 hitting 1.3 million sales to become the studio’s fastest-selling game. It’s no surprise, then, that the developer intends to keep expanding both franchises with more new releases going forward.
Remedy Entertainment has said players should expect a “more regular cadence of sequels” for Alan Wake and Control.
Today, Remedy released its latest quarterly report for the period between October and December 2023. Despite the successful launch of Alan Wake 2, which was the fastest-selling game ever made by the studio even launching in a highly competitive release window, Q4 2023 marked a decrease in both revenue and profitability compared to 2022 due to significantly increased investments in the other game projects and to the impairment charge cost (€ -7.2 million) related to the reboot of the free-to-play Project Vanguard, from now on known as Kestrel.
