Remedy has released its 2023 annual report, and with it comes new details regarding Codename Condor, a spin-off game of Control that is currently in development for PC and consoles, described by the company as being its “first step towards service-based games,” with a development budget of €25 million ($27.1 million). The report also touches upon Remedy’s other projects, including Control 2, complemented by what appears to be early concept art from the upcoming sequel.
Remedy on live-service games, and how Condor will be one of them:
- “Service-based fixed price games with additional payable downloadable content can become an increasingly important commercial model for Remedy in the future.”
- “These are premium games that may have a lower initial price point but a long tail of revenue through updates, game expansions and potentially microtransactions.”
- “For these games, a key differentiator is the post-launch live operations phase meant to keep players engaged for years. This model will be used for example in codename Condor, a multiplayer spin-off game of Control.”
Remedy’s upcoming projects include:
Remedy on Condor:
Codename Condor, a co-operative multiplayer spin-off game of Control, is our first step towards service-based games. During the year, we learned a great deal about developing such games, and the game team envisioned and successfully proved a strong game concept. The project moved into the production readiness stage, and we are looking forward to moving on with full production in 2024.
