Remedy Entertainment News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Alan Wake 2 enjoyed widespread critical acclaim upon its launch last year, while as of the beginning of February, it had also sold over 1.3 million units worldwide, becoming Remedy Entertainment’s fastest-selling game to date. In spite of a solid start, however, it hasn’t quite sold enough to start turning a profit yet.

Alan Wake 2, Control developer Remedy has announced that it has cancelled its multiplayer project, codenamed Kestrel. The studio has revealed that it will instead be focusing more on its existing franchises. According to the announcement, Kestrel had started development in November 2023, and was a reboot of previous project, Vanguard.

Remedy has cancelled one of its in-development multiplayer projects, codenamed Kestrel.

Remedy Entertainment has decided to cancel the game codenamed “Kestrel” in order to focus on other games in its portfolio, the developer announced.

Remedy Entertainment, the developer of Alan Wake 2, released a financial report showing that Q1 2024 profits are still below the title's budget even though sales have done well. The report shows more than just Alan Wake 2 earnings, with a full breakdown of the developer's financial situation.

In its most recent quarterly report, Remedy Entertainment has provided updates on which stage of production each of its many current projects is at.

Remedy has provided an update on Codename Condor, the co-operative multiplayer game set in the Control universe.

A devoted Alan Wake fan has bought 4,000 digital Xbox 360 codes of the 2010 game that are unfortunately unusable. The original Alan Wake was released in 2010 and became a cult classic Xbox 360 title over the years. The creepy story of fiction writer Alan Wake being haunted by his own writings coming to life in the Pacific Northwest town of Bright Falls captivated fans with its unique and gloomy atmosphere.

Hideo Kojima and Remedy Entertainment creative director Sam Lake have teased a mysterious project they're involved in at Kojima Productions. Hideo Kojima is known for working with a number of high-profile actors and creators and inserting their likenesses into his games. For example, Death Stranding characters Deadman, Sam Bridges, and Cliff were based on full-body scans of Guillermo del Toro, Norman Reedus, and Mads Mikkelsen, respectively. Some of Kojima Productions' upcoming games will continue using high-profile actors and their likenesses, including Death Stranding 2 and OD.

Remedy Entertainment has shared details on Project Condor, it’s upcoming multiplayer spin-off from the shared universe of Control and Alan Wake 2.

Remedy has recently shared more information about Codename Condor, its upcoming co-op Control spin-off. It was already known that the next entry in the Control franchise would be a live service title, but now Remedy shared some details about its premise and development, revealing that it will not be a free-to-play game.

There’s a teaser image on the wall. We stare at it and we think that’s the whole multiplayer shooter set in the Control franchise. Then, Remedy sneak a second teaser image alongside some tantalising lore snippets into their latest investor report (Thanks, resetera!) Also there’s an air fryer that turns nuggets into miniature black holes, or something. I’m not sure because, honestly, I never learned to appreciate Control’s wonderful architecture and lore because the combat made me want to gnaw my fingers off. Good news, then, for everyone except me specifically. We’ve got a few more scraps of info about its (presumably) almost entirely combat focused spin-off title, currently known as ‘Condor’.

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.

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.

With Alan Wake 2 out of the way, it’s looking like the upcoming combined remake of Max Payne 1 and 2 is the next big single-player game that developer Remedy Entertainment will be focusing on, and the studio has now provided some more details about its development.

Remedy has published its financial results for 2023, and reported a 22.2% decrease in revenue to €33.9 million compared to €43.6 million during the same period last year.

Alan Wake 2 fans received an encouraging update after writer, director, and actor Sam Lake posted an image commemorating his final motion-capture work for the game's DLC, suggesting that the expansions are nearing completion. Lake previously outlined the plans for Alan Wake 2's post-launch additions.

In a rare move, Remedy Entertainment has lowered the minimum PC system requirements for Alan Wake 2. The unexpected change arrived as part of the game's latest patch that Alan Wake 2 players can download as of March 6.

Alan Wake 2 is a game that fans waited years to see released into the marketplace. It’s also a game that Remedy Entertainment was partial to seeing created. However, after going through a few other projects, the studio managed to get a sequel into the marketplace. If you’re a fan of the first game, then chances are you already played through the sequel. But if your PC was holding you back from enjoying this game, we have good news. 

Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 has received an update, and while it doesn’t add the long-awaited Photo Mode (coming in Spring), it does adjust the minimum PC requirements. Or the GPU requirements, at least.

Update:

Remedy Entertainment has acquired full rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games.

Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that Alan Wake 2 will be adding its long-awaited Photo Mode as part of a free update «somewhere around spring» of this year. Survival-horror game Alan Wake 2 was released last year to critical acclaim and won multiple awards at The Game Awards 2023. Remedy has released multiple updates for the game since launch, including a rather substantial one that added a New Game Plus mode.

From New Game Plus to Chapter Select, Remedy Entertainment has added a few notable new features to Alan Wake 2 with free updates since its release in October, and the developer has now confirmed that another one of those is on the way.

Along with sales updates for Alan Wake 2 and Control, Remedy Entertainment CEO Tero Virtala also revealed the status of ongoing projects like Control 2, Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake, and Condor. All three titles have “increased development pace” and are expected to reach the next stages of development in the first half of 2024.

Remedy Entertainment recently announced that Alan Wake 2 has sold over 1.3 million units worldwide, becoming the studio’s fastest-selling game to date, and though the acclaimed survival horror title has yet to fully recoup the money that was poured into its development and marketing, it looks like it’s gotten off to a strong enough start that Remedy is already planning for more Alan Wake in the future.

Alan Wake 2 still hasn't recouped its development costs despite establishing itself as Remedy Entertainment's fastest-selling title to date, the Finnish developer has revealed. That disclosure was accompanied by some specific sales figures for Alan Wake 2, which look promising enough to suggest that the game will manage to break even in the near future.

Alan Wake 2 has sold 1.3 million copies to date, Remedy Entertainment has confirmed.

Remedy has confirmed plans to grow and expand the Alan Wake franchise following a successful launch for the second mainline entry in the series.

Alan Wake 2 is developer Remedy's fastest-selling game to date, but the studio is still to recuperate the project's development and marketing costs.

Alan Wake 2 launched last October following years of anticipation and was instantly met with widespread critical acclaim, being deemed by many to be one of the best games in a historic year for the medium. Remedy Entertainment has now also announced sales figures for the survival horror title, and its commercial success is reflecting its critical acclaim.

The recently reported trademark dispute between video game giant Take-Two Interactive and renowned developer Remedy Entertainment has already been resolved, the latter claimed. In addition, the studio noted that its working relationship with Take-Two Interactive remains unchanged.

Alan Wake is coming to Dead by Daylight at the end of this month, the tortured writer set to be the latest survivor in the long-running multiplayer horror game, but how did this come to be and what will Alan play like?

One of the more amusingly bizarre news stories of the early days of 2024 arrived earlier this week when it emerged that Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive had filed a trademark dispute against Remedy Entertainment’s new logo, claiming that it was too similar to the GTA maker’s logo, which also prominently displays a stylized “R”.

Remedy Entertainment has said there is “nothing to see” regarding the recent reveal of a trademark dispute with Take-Two Interactive.

Game maker Take-Two Interactive has filed a lawsuit against Max Payne maker Remedy Entertainment, citing copyright infringement. Take-Two claims that Remedy Entertainment’s «R» Remedy logo is too similar to Rockstar’s «R» logo.

Alright, alright, they're in a disupte over the letter R as used for a logo for a video game company. As spotted by Respawn First, Remedy (they of the Alan Wake) revealed their new logo last year, a big letter R, and Take-Two (they of the owning Rockstar Games) contest it. Rockstar's logo is also a big letter R, although I think they're pretty different Rs.

Take-Two Interactive has an ongoing trademark dispute with Remedy Entertainment over its new logo, it’s been revealed.

Take Two Interactive has entered a trademark dispute with Remedy Entertainment, and says the latter's logo resembles the R* of Rockstar Games.

In April last year, Remedy Entertainment revealed a brand-new logo for itself, prominently displaying the letter “R” in stylized fashion as the developer sought to “update and redefine its visual identity”. Of course, when you think of a developer that has the letter R as its logo, you instantly think of Rockstar Games. Unsurprisingly, the GTA developer’s parent company Take-Two Interactive is keenly aware of the similarities between the two studios’ logo, and is none too pleased about them.

Fans of Control and the world that it shares with the Alan Wake games may have much to look forward to, as a new trademark filed by Remedy Entertainment provides more information pertaining to the next game in the series. It's known that Remedy apparently has a number of different projects in the works, but new information suggests that the studio has even grander aspirations for the future of the Control universe than fans had expected.

Remedy Entertainment has a lot on its plates over the coming years, with a couple of its several upcoming projects being seeing the studio try its hand at multiplayer experiences. One of those, a co-op Control spinoff codenamed Condor, has been in the works since 2021, and entered the “production readiness” stage late last year. That, it seems, has gone hand-in-hand with Remedy landing on a name for the title.

The first has been released, giving fans a look at the latest iconic survivor to join the game. Wake is set to be added to the game on Tuesday, January 30.

Dead By Daylight is still going strong after all these years. With every new addition with new killers and survivors, it seems that the co-op horror game refuses to die. On the topic of new characters coming, it seems like another iconic character is jumping into the ritual. That’s right, Alan Wake may be coming to Dead By Daylight. To find out when, dive deeper into the darkness below.

Remedy Entertainment has released a new update for Alan Wake 2, which is live on all platforms. It fixes an issue where players couldn’t pick up Saga’s inventory capacity upgrades in two locations. More importantly, it corrects some issues with New Game Plus (introduced in The Final Manuscript update).

James McCaffrey, mostly known for his role as Max Payne, has died at the age of 65.

American actor James McCaffrey has passed away aged 65, a representative of his has confirmed to TMZ. McCaffrey, who had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, passed on Sunday, as per the report. News of his death was first shared by actor Kevin Dillon on Instagram.

Alan Wake 2 has enjoyed widespread critical acclaim and raked in the accolades since its launch in late October, but with the long-awaited survival horror sequel not having charted in October or November’s sales charts for the United States, and there having been no word from developer Remedy Entertainment or publisher Epic Games about how the game is selling, many have wondered whether its critical success has been reflected in its commercial performance as well.

It was announced last week that Alan Wake 2 would be adding its promised New Game Plus mode soon, and the mode is now available. Remedy Entertainment has released a new update that now lets you take a finished save of the game and begin another playthrough where you will retain all of your previously unlocked videos, Charms, and upgrades.

After years of working, we released Alan Wake 2 a bit over a month ago. We wanted to create an ambitious, unique game, and with something like that there’s always nervousness about how it will be received. The reception has been beyond anything we could have hoped for, with Alan Wake 2 taking home The Game Awards trophies for Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, and Best Game Direction. We are deeply grateful for that. 

Remedy Entertainment confirmed prior to Alan Wake 2’s launch that the survival horror title would be getting a New Game Plus mode following release, while the developer teased earlier this month that the mode could arrive this month. At The Game Awards, a specific release date for New Game Plus was announced.

Alan Wake 2's previously promised New Game Plus mode will arrive across platforms later this month, on Monday 11th December.

Remedy Entertainment has put out a bevy of updates and patches for Alan Wake 2 in the weeks since its release, and though they’ve been focused on polishing the game and ironing out its technical issues, fans do still have new features and content to look forward to. For instance, Remedy confirmed prior to the game’s release that New Game Plus would be added post-launch, and it seems the time for it is almost at hand.

2023 has been a busy year where new game releases are concerned, and the last few months have been doubly so, which means you may not have found the time to play all the games that you may have wanted to. If Alan Wake 2 was among them, the acclaimed survival horror title is currently being sold at a discounted rate on PC.

If you have been on the lookout for a new seasonal knitting project but are yet to be inspired, well, Remedy may just have exactly what you need.

Amid critical acclaim and eight nominations at The Game Awards 2023, Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 has made a strong impression in a packed year. While there are two story expansions, Night Springs and The Lake House, in the works, some developers are moving on to the studio’s next big project – Control 2.

Since Alan Wake 2’s launch in late October, developer Remedy Entertainment has released a number of patches for the survival horror title to sand out some of its lingering rough edges. Now, Update 12 has rolled out for the game as well, and it brings a host of additional fixes and improvements.

October was strong for video game sales in the United States, with best-selling titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, per Circana. However, the odd game out is Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2, which wasn’t in the charts.

If you have played through Alan Wake 2, you will by no doubt be well aware of its musical number. In fact, even if you haven't played it, you may also be aware of this particular moment. It has become quite popular online.

The wait for Alan Wake 2 was a long one, to the point where it often seemed like the game would never get made, but now that it’s finally out, it’s safe to say that it’s lived up expectations. Remedy Entertainment’s survival horror title has received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences like, and to highlight some of the former, the developer has released a new accolades trailer. You can view it below.

Remedy plans to reboot its free-to-play co-op multiplayer game, codenamed Vanguard, as a premium release.

In 2021, Remedy Entertainment announced that it had partnered with Tencent and started working on a free-to-play multiplayer title codenamed Vanguard. Earlier this year, the developer confirmed that the title, still in the proof-of-concept stage of production, required much more work before moving ahead, and now, Remedy has announced that the project is changing gears quite significantly.

Alan Wake 2 has drawn widespread praise from critics and audiences alike, but players have nonetheless reported lingering technical issues in the game. Remedy Entertainment has released several updates for the survival horror title since its release, and another update has now arrived, bringing additional fixes.

The Epic Games Store still isn't profitable.

Remedy Entertainment is continuing to release updates for Alan Wake 2 to address lingering bugs and technical issues that players have been experiencing in the acclaimed survival horror sequel, and another update has now been released.

Alan Wake 2's most memorable – and surprising – chapter was almost cut.

Alan Wake 2 has received widespread praise from critics and audiences alike, and though its visual and technical elements have been noted by many to be among the game’s strong points, like any other game, the survival horror title has launched with a few lingering bugs and issues. To address a number of these, Remedy Entertainment has released a new patch for the game, which brings with it over 200 fixes and improvements.

The long-awaited Alan Wake 2 is out now, and based on the consensus, is very much worth the long wait. Developer Remedy Entertainment, however, has plenty more in the pipeline. In addition to two expansions for the survival horror title that are due out next year, the developer has plenty of other projects in the pipeline as well, and one among them that may be the most prominent among them is continuing to make steady progress behind the scenes.

Remedy Entertainment is one of the busier studios in the industry right now, and even though Alan Wake 2 is now out of the way, the developer still has a number of projects currently in various stages of development. In a recent quarterly fiscal report, the studio has provided an update on how several of them are progressing behind the scenes.

Alan Wake 2 has joined the shockingly long list of incredible games that have released in 2023, with Remedy Entertainment’s long-awaited survival horror sequel having launched to widespread praise from critics and audiences alike, and the developer has shared praise for its publishing partner, Epic Games, and the role it played in the game’s development.

Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 is out on October 27th, and based on the launch trailer, it’s looking like a scary good time. However, there’s more to come after the survival horror title’s launch, including New Game Plus. In a new tweet, the developer confirmed that all unlocked weapons and upgrades would carry over.

After prematurely going live a few hours earlier, Remedy Entertainment finally debuted the launch trailer for Alan Wake 2 at the Xbox Partner Preview. It sees newcomer and FBI profiler Saga Anderson realizing she’s caught in something bigger than an investigation into ritualistic killings. Check it out below.

With Alan Wake 2 set to release this week for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, Remedy Entertainment has revealed when pre-loads will become available. It starts at 9 PM PST on October 24th, with console players able to pre-load 48 hours before launch (since the game technically goes live on October 26th at 9 PM PST).

Microsoft has announced that it will be holding an on Wednesday, October 25 to show off titles being developed by the gaming giant’s third-party partners. While the recently revealed showcase promises to give gamers a glimpse of some upcoming PC and Xbox titles, no Activision Blizzard games will be included at this year’s event.

With so many major releases out of the way, it’s easy to forget that Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 is out this week. PC requirements for the survival horror game were recently revealed, and they’re steep. It also doesn’t help that communications director Thomas Puha recently said Performance Mode on consoles “mostly” runs at 60 FPS.

Microsoft has announced its next showcase event, the Xbox Partner Preview, for October 25th. It will broadcast on Twitch and YouTube at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET and feature over 20 minutes of trailers and gameplay from third-party developers. There will also be announcements for upcoming Game Pass titles.

With Alan Wake 2 now mere days away from launch, Remedy Entertainment is beginning to gear up for its arrival by sharing new details on its release. Having recently revealed its exact global release timings, the developer has now also shared the survival horror sequel’s full PC requirements.

From Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to Forza Motorsport and many others, October has been packed full of major new releases- and there’s still more to look forward to, especially in the shape of Alan Wake 2, one of the most highly anticipated upcoming games, which is out in a week’s time.
