I think Control&#8217;s &#8220;anything can happen as long as it&#8217;s weird&#8221; setting makes it an ideal choice for a more roleplay-focused experience, but historically Remedy has been pretty focused on telling a well-defined story, rather than letting players horse around in the world as they see fit.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Remedy also recently revealed its first-ever multiplayer game, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/remedys-multiplayer-control-spinoff-looks-even-weirder-than-i-expected-a-co-op-fps-where-you-shoot-goo-and-garden-gnomes-at-murderous-monsters-from-another-dimension\/\"><u>FBC: Firebreak<\/u><\/a>, so who knows? Maybe it&#8217;s just really eager to start spreading those wings.<\/p>\n<p>It will be some time before we find out. Control 2 doesn&#8217;t yet have a release date, and Remedy said in today&#8217;s presentation that the game remains in &#8220;production readiness,&#8221; which I have to assume is another way of saying it&#8217;s not yet in full production.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3808px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.83%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"vo6ZQ23FoVk3RKqSrFMcQi\" name=\"remedy5\" alt=\"Remedy Capital Markets Day presentation slide - Games currently in development\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/control-2-is-an-action-rpg-remedy-says-but-unfortunately-it-doesnt-explain-what-exactly-that-means-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"3808\" height=\"2164\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Remedy)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I&#8217;ve reached out to Remedy for a little more insight into Control 2&#8217;s genre shift and will update if I receive a reply.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/control-2-is-an-action-rpg-remedy-says-but-unfortunately-it-doesnt-explain-what-exactly-that-means\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We don&#8217;t know much about Control 2 except that it&#8217;s happening and will be self-published by Remedy rather than an external partner, as was the case with the original.
