The budget for Control 2 is almost twice that of its predecessor.

Remedy Entertainment’s Control was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews when it was released back in 2019. Since then, the studio has confirmed that a sequel is coming, and a multiplayer-focused spinoff as well.

Thanks to the half-year financial report from Digital Bros. (owner of publisher 505 Games), we now have more information on how Control is performing and a clear sign that the sequel will be spectacular. It turns out that the original game has now sold over three million copies since launch, generating €92 million in revenue, and this has given Remedy and 505 Games faith in the franchise.

Control 2 has a confirmed budget of €50 million (about £44 million), which is significantly more than the original €30 million. The multiplayer spin-off we mentioned above, the working title Project Condor, is also a project they seem to have a lot of faith in, and has a confirmed budget of €25 million. Both games will be developed using Remedy’s proprietary Northlight Engine.

Have you played Control yourself and what do you think about it?

Thank You, Extrude.
