- Remedy has filed a trademark for Control Resonant.
- With The Game Awards around the corner, the sequel could be revealed at the show.
- However, this filing could also hint at the Control TV series Remedy has in production.
This past year has been highly challenging for Remedy, with its premium titles, such as Alan Wake 2 and FBC: Firebreak, failing to meet internal sales expectations.
The latter, set in the world of Control, faced so much criticism that Remedy had to lie about its player count before eventually admitting it was a failure. But all is not lost, as a new trademark suggests that the developer is pulling out the big guns.
Why It Matters: Remedy is a talented studio that has recently become the victim of bad luck. Hence, a sequel to Control is the perfect way for the developer to come back.
Remedy has filed a trademark under the name Control Resonant on the official EUIPO website, which tracks most European intellectual properties. This trademark was filed by Nordia Attorneys, a law firm the studio has previously used to register its Max Payne series.
Remedy stated earlier this year that Control 2 is in full production and also revealed that the sequel is being made with a lower budget than Alan Wake 2. With The Game Awards around the corner, the timing of this trademark does feel a little convenient.
Control Resonant is also listed as a computer gaming software under the goods and services section of the trademark, further solidifying that this is indeed the sequel.
However, this filing could also be about the Control TV Show in production from Remedy. Hence, nothing is specific as of yet. Still, the TGA could undoubtedly use a surprise reveal, considering how The Witcher 4 and Intergalactic are not going to debut any trailers at the award show.
