Remedy Entertainment is known for making some unique story-driven games that often focus on a blend of eerie sci-fi elements set behind a mystery. Control, for instance, follows the player as they seek to find their missing brother in a facility that has been taken over by an extra-dimensional entity. Alan Wake has the titular novelist following the trail of his missing wife. Essentially, Remedy is a studio that gamers are often interested in, leading to a lot of intrigue when in a recent earnings report it provided updates on five upcoming titles that it had in the works.

Remedy's CEO Tero Virtala made some comments following the publishing of its financial earnings report. First, Virtala tackled the upcoming and highly anticipated sequel to Alan Wake. Alan Wake 2 was given its announcement trailer at the Game Awards 2021, but since then there haven't been too many details unveiled about how the game besides the fact it will be a survival horror title. This led some to think that Alan Wake 2 could be years off, but Virtala is hoping that the game will be available in 2023, as he states "Alan Wake 2 is in the full production stage."

Alan Wake 2 will not be the action-adventure experience of the first game, and will have survival horror elements. However, it's currently unknown what those will look like as the game has only recently revealed concept art alongside the release of Alan Wake's anniversary update. The next game Remedy spoke about was Codename Vanguard, which will be co-published with Tencent. Not much is known about Codename Vanguard, but it will be a live-service title with cooperative elements. According to Virtala, Codename Vanguard has made good progress recently.

The next couple of games are also given Codename titles, and are both spin-offs of Control. Codename Condor is currently in the proof-of-concept stage, while Codename Heron is in the concept stage as prototyping continues. Codename Heron is reportedly the bigger game of the two, with speculation and reports mostly leaning towards the fact that it will be a sequel to Control. According to Remedy, both of these titles are currently focused on having the right technology and tools to serve future games in its lineup.

Making up the last of the five games are the remasters of Max Payne. While Remedy is working on remaking both Max Payne 1 and 2, the games will be released as one as per the company's agreement with Rockstar. Even with the first two Max Payne games getting the remaster treatment, some fans would've liked to see the trilogy of Max Payne games be remastered to complete the collection.
