Control 2 finally has a publisher. Well, it's Remedy itself. Remedy Entertainment announced its new partnership with Annapurna to co-finance Control 2. The partnership also reveals strategic collaboration between the two to bring the Control and Alan Wake franchises to TV and film.
Control 2 Announced: Remedy Teams Up With Annapurna For Strategic Partnership!
According to a press release from Remedy, the Alan Wake 2 makers will team up with Annapurna to bring Control and the Alan Wake series to other digital media. Creative Director Sam Lake has called this a monumental partnership to maintain their creative freedom while being with another partner who also loves to tell stories. He further commented:
"I am absolutely thrilled (yes!) about this opportunity to expand the story of Alan Wake and our entire Remedy Connected Universe into media beyond games, and to build all of this in close collaboration, games, film, TV and other media as well as a unified vision. I trust that Annapurna is the perfect partner for us to realize this dream."
Earlier this year, Remedy acquired the original Control IP from former partner 505 Games. This means that Remedy will now have full rights to the franchise. With Annapurna in the mix, Remedy believes they can maintain their creative output and ongoing independence while having funding from the company. We're partnering with Annapurna to co-fund Control 2. We hope you're as excited about what this means for our creative output and ongoing independence as we are. We're also excited to announce that Annapurna will be working with us to expand the Control and Alan Wake franchises… pic.twitter.com/5RqOtREhxw — Remedy Entertainment (@remedygames) August 29, 2024
