“Alan Wake, Control, and Firebreak are all set in the Remedy connected universe,” Lake explained during the presentation. “Now, there are many fictional universes out there of course. But in games, an original universe that contains multiple franchises is a unique concept.” Earlier in the presentation, Lake noted that “What we create at Remedy is special, and we must never lose that.”

Talking about the highly anticipated sequel, Control 2, Remedy Entertainment revealed that similar to Alan Wake II, the sequel to Control will shift styles and will be an action-RPG. “Let people speculate, but suffice to say, Control 2 is a natural continuation to the first game, holding on to key tenets of storytelling and spectacle, but leaning even further into player agency, exploration and RPG mechanics,” Remedy told GameSpot. Remedy also said that Control 2 is being made to appeal to a wider audience, but didn’t elaborate further.
Remedy also revealed that Control Ultimate Edition will be making its way on Mac next year on February 12, 2025. There will also be a free update releasing in early 2025 which will unlock “some previously released content.”
