- Control 2 is the next upcoming single-player game from Remedy that is expected to release in 2027.
- However, the developer has revealed that this game will have less budget than Alan Wake 2.
- Remedy Entertainment seems to be handling game budgets really well, when most of the other companies are continuously exceeding them.
Among the upcoming releases from Remedy, many are excited about Control 2. The developer has planned to release this game in 2027, and it has been in development for a long time now.
That would give you the impression that this game will cost a lot to make, right? While its development cost will be high, Remedy has just confirmed that its budget is actually less than Alan Wake 2.
Why it matters: Alan Wake 2 is still a tech marvel, as this game was just brilliant. However, Control 2 will be Remedy’s next big new game, so it is surprising for a developer to go for less budget than one of its previous games.
Speaking to Gamefile, Tero Virtala, the CEO of Remedy Entertainment, revealed that the budget for Remedy’s next single-player game will be less than that of Alan Wake 2.
Alan Wake 2’s budget, compared to Control 2’s, Virtala told me, was a bit higher. I think with that we can create excellent games, he said. If the team sticks to that budget and the game sells two million units, we are at break-even per game.

He further said that if they create an excellent game and it sells four to five million copies, then they are happy with the outcome. If their game takes selling 2 million units to break even, then it is pretty humble of them to be completely satisfied at selling around 4 million units.
Remedy is really good at managing budgets, and it clearly shows. In this era, games are costing more and more, but Remedy is setting an example of how we can control that. Control 2 has already entered full production, so we can expect some more news soon.
What do you think about the CEO’s statement regarding the company’s next single-player game having less budget than the previous one? Do you think Control 2 will still exceed expectations?
