Founded all the way back in 1995, Remedy Entertainment has had quite the history in the video game landscape. After the developer's first game, Death Rally, was a fairly big success, the studio was given a much higher budget to use on its next title. That budget went to great use, as Remedy Entertainment released Max Payne in 2001, and since then, the studio has had some pretty big hitters over the last two decades. But if there's anything more exciting than Remedy's past, it's the developer's future, with five big games currently under development at the studio.
Announced back in February of this year, Remedy Entertainment has five, technically six, games currently in development at the studio. While some of these games have been given temporary codename titles, Remedy has teased that they could be related to some of the developer's previous franchises. Throw on top of that a remake of two of the studio's most beloved titles, and a sequel to the cult classic Alan Wake, and Remedy Entertainment's future looks pretty bright.
Every Game In Development At Remedy Entertainment
In early 2021, Remedy announced that it was working alongside Epic Games to publish two upcoming titles. The first of these was Alan Wake Remastered, which released in October of the same year. Soon after, during the 2021 Game Awards, Alan Wake 2 was announced, and is set to be the second game in Remedy and Epic Games' partnership. Right now, details surrounding Alan Wake 2 are pretty scarce, with only a few tidbits of information being known. The sequel is trading in its predecessor's more action-focused approach to horror, and is instead going all-in on survival horror. Despite that, Alan Wake 2 will still retain the third-person perspective of the first game. Alan Wake 2 has a tentative release date of 2023, though that could change at any point.
In April 2022, Remedy announced that it was also working alongside Rockstar Games to develop full remakes of the first two Max Payne games, which will apparently be combined into one cohesive experience. Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne are some of Remedy's most beloved titles, so these remakes already seem like sure-fire hits, especially with Rockstar financing the project. These remakes are set to use Remedy's own Northlight Engine, which is also being used to develop Alan Wake 2, so fans should expect some state-of-the-art next-gen visuals. The Max Payne remake doesn't have an official release date yet, but speculation would suggest that it's not arriving until late 2023 at the very earliest, and more likely 2024.
Yet another partnership, Remedy Entertainment announced back in December 2021 that it was working with Tencent to produce a new multiplayer-focused game. Codenamed Vanguard, this title will reportedly feature live-service elements and will be a cooperative PvE experience that will apparently still retain Remedy's usual fleshed-out narrative. Vanguard will also be free-to-play.
Finally, Remedy Entertainment has two Control games in the works. The first of which, project Condor, was announced all the way back in June 2021, and is set to be a multiplayer spin-off set in the Control universe. Similar to Vanguard, project Condor will apparently be a four-player co-op PvE game. The last game in current development at Remedy is codenamed project Heron, and according to the developer itself, it'll be a "bigger Control game." While some fans think that this could be a direct sequel to the original Control, some believe it'll be more of a successor, taking the story and gameplay in a new direction. As of May 2022, these two Control games were still in the proof-of-concept phase, suggesting that it may still be quite some time before fans get to play them.
