Control Sequel & Multiplayer Spin-off Announced
Codenamed Condor Remedy Entertainment and 505 Games signed a deal to develop a new game set in the same world of the first.
'Control is first and foremost a world, a place for multitudes of stories, events, and characters. A place where unexpected, strange, and extraordinary things occur. We kicked it off with Jesse’s entry into the Oldest House, but there is more to this world.', said Mikael Kasurinen, game director of the Control franchise.
And in regards to the shift from single-player to multiplayer, the director said that, while the single-player experience has been the main focus of the studio, there's another side to games, which is the social, collaborative experience you get to enjoy with other people.
'We are approaching this with a mix of excitement and respect. We want to create something that is engaging, yet familiar, something any of our fans can jump into and feel at home in. Together.', he said.
Then he went on to affirm the main sequel, saying that, 'Control is more than one location, character, or story. We have more. Something ambitious.', and that they, 'have outlined high-level collaboration terms to further expand the Control franchise with a bigger-budget Control-game'.
And about the state of both projects and when fans should expect them, Kasurinen said that it's going to be a long time before they could show off these new instalments.
