I en ganske overraskende udmelding, har finske Remedy Entertainment og Annapurna annonceret at det har indgået et "strategisk samarbejde" om, for det første at samfinansiere Control 2 og for det andet at arbejde på at få netop Control og Alan Wake IP'er ud som film, tv-serier "and beyond", som det formuleres.
Creative Director Sam Lake fra Remedy siger:
I'm absolutely thrilled (yes!) by this opportunity to expand the story of Alan Wake and our whole Remedy Connected Universe to mediums beyond games, and to build all of this in close collaboration, games, film, TV, and other mediums as well, as one unified vision. I trust Annapurna are the perfect partner for us to make this dream come true.
Annapurna CEO Megan Ellison tilføjer:
The way we tell stories is changing. Today people fall in love with characters and universes, not formats, and we're excited to leverage Remedy's beloved, immersive narratives in these new mediums.
Aftalen vil give Remedy den finansielle og kreative frihed til at lave Control 2 som de ønsker og beholde fuld kontrol over udviklingen af spillet, samt at de selv vil stå for udgivelsen.
