Control 2 will be an "action-RPG", Remedy confirms

Remedy's upcoming Control sequel - aptly titledControl 2- will be an action-RPG.The developer first announced a sequel to its surreal action-adventure back in 2022, simply statingControl 2 would be an "unexpected journey". In the time since, the developer has kept most details close to its chest, although inAugust of this year it stated "important" Control 2 features are now in "playable form".

We now have another small morsel of information on the sequel, however, thanks to confirmation from Remedy that the upcoming release will be an action-RPG. The developer shared this little nugget of information during itsCapital Markets day presentation, before following it up with a rather casual bullet point tucked within a social media post.

This same post also said Control Ultimate Edition will release on Mac on 12th February, and Control will receive a free update early next year, which will unlock "some previously released content".

Meanwhile,Alan Wake 2has now sold over 1.8m units.Earlier this month, Remedy said the sequel was close to recouping the money the studio had spent on developing and marketing the game, 12 months after its initial release.
