The company is busy putting the finishing touches to its impressive-looking Control sequel, while sales of its back catalog have been steady. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Originally launched in October 2023, Alan Wake 2 took some time to turn a profit. Meanwhile, as previously announced, Remedy&#8217;s multiplayer experiment FBC: Firebreak received its final update back in March, following low sales.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Jean-Charles Gaudechon, installed as CEO of Remedy in March, commented on the company&#8217;s latest results by pointing out that the company had now begun spending on Control Resonant marketing, including its reveal trailer shown during Sony&#8217;s June State of Play presentation, and second trailer which aired during Summer Game Fest. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Gaudechon continued by noting that Remedy&#8217;s annual numbers were down year-on-year, meanwhile, versus 2025&#8217;s revenues from FBC: Firebreak, including money earned from subscription service agreements (the game launched in both Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus).<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As for the upcoming Control Resonant, Gaudechon struck a hopeful tone. The game now has 1.5 million wishlists across PC and consoles, and is among the top three pre-ordered PlayStation games in the U.S., Germany and Brazil. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;We position Control Resonant as a must-have day-one purchase while also building Control into a lasting franchise,&#8221; Gaudechon said. &#8220;In a competitive autumn window, we believe the distinctiveness and quality of the game will make it stand out. Control Resonant will be available across all major platforms from day one and is priced attractively for an AAA title. Combined with the release window becoming slightly less crowded since our original reveal, we remain confident in our positioning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Control Resonant &#8211; June 2026 Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Other than Control Resonant, Remedy continues its lengthy development work on the Max Payne 1 &amp; 2 remakes, which are still listed as in production. The company also has an unannounced &#8220;new project&#8221; which it says has now reached &#8220;production readiness,&#8221; without providing further detail. Is this early work on an Alan Wake 3, or another Control game? We&#8217;ll have to wait and see, though Remedy certainly doesn&#8217;t sound like it&#8217;s giving up on Alan just yet.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;We have two established own franchises, Control and Alan Wake, which are linked through the Remedy Connected Universe,&#8221; Gaudechon concluded, looking to the future. &#8220;Remedy will self-publish upcoming games, in which Remedy owns the IP. Growing and expanding the two franchises will be a key part of our future. In addition, we work with a partner franchise Max Payne, originally created by Remedy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Control Resonant launches on September 24 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
