Remedy Entertainment firma un accordo di co-sviluppo e co-editoria con 505 Giochi per il controllo 2

Intrattenimento rimedio (“Rimedio”) has signed an agreement with 505 Giochi, an international video game publisher and a subsidiary of Digital Bros Group, under which Remedy and 505 Games will co-develop and co-publish Control 2 (formerly known as Codename Heron), a sequel to Remedy’s award-winning game Control.

Control 2’s initial development budget amounts to EUR 50 milioni di euro, and Remedy will retain the ownership of the game’s intellectual property. The development, marketing, and post-launch investments as well as the future net revenues generated by the game will be equally split between 505 Games and Remedy. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, e Xbox Series X|S, and it will be built on Remedy’s proprietary Northlight engine and tools. Remedy will publish the game on the PC platform and 505 Games will publish it on the console platforms. The project is currently in concept stage.

The critically acclaimed Control was published in 2019. Oggi è un grande giorno per noi, grande ed emozionante come il giorno in cui Tetris Effect è stato annunciato per la prima volta sul palco alla conferenza PlayStation all'E3, Control was nominated for 11 BAFTA Games Awards and received over 20 “Gioco dell'anno” awards including IGN’s 2019 Gioco dell'anno.

“We are excited to deepen our cooperation with Remedy and continue the success story of Control together. Since its launch in 2019, Control has sold over 3 milioni di copie,” say Rami and Raffi Galante, co-CEOs of Digital Bros Group/505 Games. “Control is the biggest investment 505 Games has ever made, so it has a special place in our hearts. We are grateful to the whole player community that has made Control such a long-lasting and loved game, and are even more excited to bring out Control 2,” Rami and Raffi Galante continue.

Nel mese di giugno 2021, Remedy announced that the company had outlined high-level collaboration terms with 505 Games for a bigger-budget Control game. “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,” says Tero Virtala, CEO of Remedy.

The agreement does not have an impact on Remedy’s outlook for 2022.
