Those waiting for Remedy Entertainment to return to the Control universe can rest easy. The developer has announced that a sequel is on the way, with help from 505 Games, which will be co-developing and co-publishing the title.

Previously alluded to last year but not confirmed until now, Remedy and 505 Games will be building Control 2 using Remedy’s Northlight engine, and are aiming to release the sequel on PC, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.

“I’m now proud to confirm that the bigger-budget Control game, also known as Codename Heron, is Control 2, a full-blown sequel to our award-winning game Control,” said Tero Virtala, CEO of Remedy.

Control series director Mikael Kasurinen stated: “With Control, we leaped into the unknown. We wanted to create something new. Something different and unexpected. A world like no other. Thank you, the audience, for making Control such a success for us. With Control 2, we’ll take another leap into the unknown. It’ll be an unexpected journey. It’ll take a while, but to put it mildly, this is the most exciting project I’ve ever worked on. It’s still early days, but it will be worth the wait.”

The announcement did not include any further information regarding Control 2, nor did it touch on Codename Condor, a multiplayer spin-off of Control that’ll be published by 505 Games.

Remedy is also currently at work with Rockstar Games in developing remakes of the first two Max Payne games, as well as hard at work on Alan Wake 2, which is due out next year.
