It’s the first “official Remedy Connected Universe crossover event”, but it will not be the last, and is only a “humble start.” Remedy did not provide further details on whether the game will be a Control or Alan Wake game, or anything else at all, and only pleaded that they would be linked in some form.Control’s AWE expansion will be released on August 27, 2020, and brand new footage was unveiled at Sony’s latest State of Play. Alan Wake was referenced a few times during Control, but this new story will bring Wake much more into focus.
Earlier this year, Epic Games confirmed that it would release the next two games from Remedy, one of which is “AAA multi-platform game already in pre-production”, and the other that is “a new smaller project set in the same franchise. “This news further confirms one or both of these games will be part of this Remedy Connected Universe.
Control was awarded IGN’s Game of the Year in 2019, and in our review we said “Control is set in a very strange paranormal world that I could not help but explore. Jesse’s versatile psychic skills and main weapon provide thrilling “And thanks to a strong supporting cast, a well-written script, and a lot of intriguing breakthrough tracks, I thoroughly enjoyed my adventure through the moving rooms of Oldest House.”
