- A Control spin-off is in development at Remedy Entertainment.
- The title is a change of pace for the studio since it is going to be a multiplayer game.
- We have discovered a job ad for this game, which suggests it will have a first-person camera focus.
Remedy Entertainment found critical acclaim with Alan Wake 2 recently, selling 1.3 million units. This success has positioned the studio to make bigger investments in future projects, including franchises like Control.
The developer is currently working on Control 2 and a multiplayer spin-off based on the IP. Codenamed Condor, this project is described as a co-op live-service title, making it quite different from the studio’s typical releases.
We have spotted a new job listing for Codename Condor that adds another element of mystery to this spin-off. The developer is looking for a Senior Gameplay Animator, hinting at a first-person focus for this title.
While the developer is currently working on various projects, the job listing for Codename Condor has piqued our interest. Among the qualities needed in the new developer, this job ad emphasizes first-person animations.
You have experience in First Person animations.

What makes this job requirement interesting is the fact that it does not mention third-person gameplay.
This could mean that Remedy Entertainment’s spin-off will be a first-person shooter, unlike Control. The first-person shooter genre is among the most popular for online games, which may have prompted this shift.
Previously, the team accumulated experience in first-person shooters after working on CrossfireX. The studio was responsible for the single-player campaign, offering first-person shooter gameplay built around the proprietary Northlight engine.
Therefore, codename Condor could have ended up in a similar position. The game may attract a completely new audience, with the first-person perspective becoming a selling point for the co-op live-service title since it would be different from Control.
With Remedy Entertainment already working on various third-person shooters, a first-person project could allow the team to utilize its technical and narrative strengths in new and unique ways.
However, it is also possible that Codename Condor will offer a mix of first-person and third-person gameplay.
The first-person shooter market can be daunting for many teams, but Remedy Entertainment has proven to be a cut above the rest.
While its work on CrossfireX might not have been the best, another attempt at first-person gameplay would set the stage for a strong comeback, so we hope to learn more about this spin-off soon.
